Recent tests by independent German experts have confirmed what most industry experts knew or suspected about it anyway. The FENDT 1050 Vario tractor, as well as its juniors from the 1000 series, were recognized as the most productive and economical tractors in the world.
These results were made public after a comprehensive test of PowerMix Test 2.0, which is considered one of the most authoritative and accurate for a whole range of parameters. Also, the opinion of experts is confirmed by general trends in the market - farmers give preference to these tractors, which have brought the performance of pneumatic-wheeled vehicles to a qualitatively new level. The oldest model in the series demonstrated truly amazing results in terms of its economy. To produce energy of 1 kW/hour, it needed only 233 grams of fuel - no other tractor is able to demonstrate at least a similar result.
The main distinguishing feature of the new series of agricultural equipment is that it is able to perform particularly complex field work, for which previously only tracked equipment was used, and surpassing it in a number of parameters, in particular in terms of productivity and gentle impact on the soil.

User manual
Fendt heavy agricultural machinery is intended for professional use. It is distinguished by high traction and performance characteristics, reliability, increased maneuverability and efficiency.
Maintenance
Fendt tractors are equipped with special control systems that allow the operator to control all processes directly from the cab. Proper long-term service of the tractor will be ensured by proper care and timely maintenance, which includes the following steps:
- Change the engine oil every 500 operating hours. The German manufacturer recommends using self-made lubricants such as: 15W-40 and 10W-40.
- The transmission oil is changed after 1000 hours of operation; Fendt 85W-90 oil is used for this purpose.
- The hydraulic system runs on motor oil with a classification of at least CD.
- When leaving the car for long-term storage, do not forget to drain the working fluids, which will lose their properties and become unusable.
- We pay special attention to the quality of fuel and lubricants - the performance of Fendt tractors depends on this.
Basic malfunctions and ways to eliminate them
The instructions included with any of the tractors contain a complete table with a list of faults. Let's touch on the reasons that prevent the power plant from starting:
- Lack of fuel in the tank;
- Oil level is below normal;
- Low quality working fluids;
- Fuel pump failure;
- The filters are clogged;
- The starter has failed;
- The battery is discharged;
- The compression system has failed;
- The injectors are clogged.
Advantages and disadvantages
Owners of Fendt Vario machines note the positive aspects:
- reliability;
- versatility;
- power reserve, which allows you to perform heavy field work;
- ability to work on soft ground;
- low fuel consumption;
- modular design, allowing the technology to be used to solve various problems.
Disadvantages of cars:
- lack of a developed service network;
- high cost of machines and maintenance.
Fendt brand agricultural machinery is not very common in the Russian Federation. This is due to an unsuccessful attempt to enter the market made by the company in the early 2000s. The supplied equipment quickly failed due to transmission failures. Because of this, AGCO Corporation promotes the Massey Ferguson and Challenger brands. There is no official information about the resumption of sales of classic tractors and electric equipment.
Owner reviews
Ivan, 36 years old:
“The machine is powerful, durable, very easy to operate - everything is controlled electronically, even satellite tracking is present. The functionality is excellent, the hydraulic system is dual-circuit, very powerful. The cabin is more than unique, I’m not talking about air conditioning, etc. What is the air suspension, control panel, and windshield with visibility? I work from early morning until late at night - I don’t get tired of it, everything in the cabin is done for my comfort.”
Valentin, 44 years old:
“The tractor is good, powerful, but there are too many buttons - it’s difficult to figure out what’s what. Electronics often glitch, so I turned off half of them - it became easier and more familiar to work.”

Where did you get this bastard?
There is one curtain, front, no auto inflation, no reverse, pump 140l. 2 speakers. . ¿. Where is the staff listed?
fifth class, he will tear our Kirovets in half, this is an agricultural tractor for autumn cultivation, but he won’t miss the seeder in the spring
How much does such a tractor cost? And what is the consumption on it? Thanks in advance
Good afternoon, please call me back and find out everything that interests you.
@agrospace I didn’t find it, so I wrote to you
Go to the website, all the information is there
This idiot needs to learn some of the swearing, he can shove this ballasting up his ass, and what he called that is called a mechanical additional loader of the drive wheels, and in some cases a counterweight.
I would like to receive more specific information about this tractor. For example, engine power is 517 hp. It is not clear whether this is maximum power or power at nominal operating mode. Power is always related to engine speed. The load on the tractor increases, engine speed decreases. I would like to understand how the external speed characteristics of the engine in terms of power proceed under such conditions. If this power value is at nominal, then the power curve can (in this case) both increase and decrease. It all depends on the dynamics of torque growth. The number itself (2400 torque does not give any idea, especially a dimensionless value. As I understand it, this is N * m). More useful information would be information about the torque reserve, either in % or in the form of an adaptability factor. If the external speed characteristic of this engine refers to the external speed characteristic of a constant power engine (which is typical for engines of foreign tractors), then I would like to know in what frequency range of the engine crankshaft the power value is maintained at least 517 hp. Well, etc. . The video is large, there is little useful information.
Fendt tractors - high power and low fuel consumption. Review of popular models, video of work
Content
German cars have always been famous for their quality. Fendt tractors are no exception.
A special feature of these devices is a continuously variable transmission, which allows you not to lose power when changing gears.
This special technology, which was first presented in 1995 at the Agrotekhnika-95 exhibition on the new Fendt Favorit 926 Vario tractor.
Many farmers immediately liked it, and are still successfully using it today. In total, more than 250 thousand cars equipped with such a gearbox rolled off the assembly line of the German company.
In Russia, Fendt tractors are sold through a specialized dealer network. There are more than 10 points of sale from official distributors in the Russian Federation.
Currently, the Fendt tractor range includes 5 models, which differ in their technical characteristics and scope of application.
Advantages of the new brand development
The machine is characterized by a minimum amount of service and maintenance, an original front axle suspension, and the presence of an integrated VarioGrip system designed to regulate the pressure in the wheel tires.
In terms of the level of innovation, build quality and durability of component materials, ergonomics, environmental friendliness, convenience and safety of use, the new tractor meets all the requirements of current world and European standards. The Fendt 1050 model officially received the status of “Best Tractor of 2016”.

Maintenance
Fendt tractors are easy to maintain on a daily and scheduled basis.
- Every 500 hours, the operating instructions recommend changing the engine oil. The user manual recommends the use of German oils from the manufacturer Fendt 15W-40 or 10W-40. However, you can only find them in specialized stores. Therefore, many Russian owners use analogues with ACEA E7 performance class.
- The transmission oil should be changed after 1000 operating hours. Here, again, it is recommended to use the branded Fendt 85W-90. However, there are many analogues on the market with the same classification. The main thing is not to use universal transmission lubricants of the STOU type. They are not suitable for this and can damage the entire system.
- Any motor oil can be used for the hydraulic system, the main thing is that according to the SAE classification it is not lower than CD.
- To operate the engine, it is necessary to use clean and fresh fuel. It is not allowed to use diesel with sediment or expired expiration date.
- If you do not plan to use the tractor for a long time, you need to clean it, put it in a dry place, drain the oil and gasoline, disconnect the spark plug wires and lubricate the parts to prevent corrosion from forming.
Fendt Vario tractors operate heavy attachments that can be mounted either front or rear.
Carrying out repair work
German Fendt tractors are heavy equipment with high technical characteristics, designed for long-term use. But still, this is a technique that tends to break down periodically.
Methods for repairing most faults are presented in the operating instructions in the form of photos, here are the most common of them: Reasons that the engine does not start
- Lack of fuel (you just need to top up diesel);
- Air or dirt has entered the fuel system (needs to be disassembled, washed and repaired);
- At sub-zero temperatures, the cold start system may malfunction (in this case, you should contact a service center; repairing it yourself is not recommended);
- The engine starting system is damaged (all wiring should be checked);
- The battery is discharged (you need to check the voltage and recharge it).
If the engine starts and immediately stalls, here is what could have caused this:
- Presence of air or dirt in the fuel system (this unit should be disassembled and cleaned);
- At subzero temperatures, ice or paraffin may form, which clogs the fuel system (it is necessary to clean the filters and the line completely and remove the formed air);
- The water separating filter is full (need to be cleaned).
Owner reviews
On thematic forums you can find reviews about the operation of Fendt tractors along with videos and photos.
Here are a few of them: Anatoly : “After decommissioning the Kirovets, I’ve been using the Fendt 1050 for the second year. Well, what can I say. This feeling is comparable to moving from a hostel to a luxury country house. The cabin is a fairy tale! Convenient, comfortable, silent. The controls are so simple that even a child can handle it. If earlier at the end of the work shift I would fall out of the cab from fatigue, now it is much less. So far there have been no equipment failures or breakdowns. The car is decent, but rarely seen in Russia due to the very high price. But it's worth it! "
Fendt 1000 Vario tractors: series overview

Photo: Fendt 1000 Vario series tractor
Fendt tractors of the thousandth series differ from analogues identical in power by more compact dimensions, improved maneuverability, lower specific ground pressure, a speed range extended to 50-60 km/h.
Branded tractor equipment Fendt 1000 series
The universal Fendt 1000 Vario tractor of each version is combined with productive wide-cut agricultural machines for various purposes, which allows large farms to carry out large volumes of complex and labor-intensive field work with high quality and within a precisely defined time frame.
The concept of this tractor line is based on obtaining maximum torque at the rated speed of the power unit. The design features of the continuously variable hydrostatic transmission and chassis minimize the power loss of the diesel drive.
Advantages of the tractor
The concept of this model includes high requirements for the comfort of the operator’s workplace.
The advantages of the cabin:
- perfect vibration protection and complete heat and sound insulation;
- modern climate control with preliminary purification of supply air;
- wide range of seat and steering column adjustments;
- ergonomic placement of main and auxiliary control systems.
The design of the tractor does not impede free access to all components and assemblies, fuel fillers and adjustment points.
Operational Features
The most comfortable conditions for the operator's work have been created. The absence of fatigue and the preservation of driver productivity is facilitated by:
- stable microclimate in the cabin;
- comfortable chair with damper suspension;
- high level of automation and computerization of engine control and monitoring systems.
Fendt 1000 series tractors are produced in several versions in the power range from 380-500 hp. In terms of efficiency of use and key parameters of labor-intensive work, powerful machines are not inferior to tracked vehicles, and in terms of maneuverability - to tractors with an articulated layout.
Hydraulic system
Onboard hydraulics consist of two independent circuits powered by high-performance axial piston hydraulic pumps up to 220 l/min.
Even at low engine speeds, the constancy of the operating pressure in the system provides the operator with the ability to simultaneously control several, including hydraulically powered working units.
FENDT 1050 Vario has become a leader in power and efficiency
Recent tests by independent German experts have confirmed what most industry experts knew or suspected about it anyway. The FENDT 1050 Vario tractor, as well as its juniors from the 1000 series, were recognized as the most productive and economical tractors in the world.
These results were made public after a comprehensive test of PowerMix Test 2.0, which is considered one of the most authoritative and accurate for a whole range of parameters. Also, the opinion of experts is confirmed by general trends in the market - farmers give preference to these tractors, which have brought the performance of pneumatic-wheeled vehicles to a qualitatively new level. The oldest model in the series demonstrated truly amazing results in terms of its economy. To produce energy of 1 kW/hour, it needed only 233 grams of fuel - no other tractor is able to demonstrate at least a similar result.
The main distinguishing feature of the new series of agricultural equipment is that it is able to perform particularly complex field work, for which previously only tracked equipment was used, and surpassing it in a number of parameters, in particular in terms of productivity and gentle impact on the soil.
Design Features
The creators of the Fendt 1050 Vario tractor relied on a creative approach to solving all problems and the use of new technologies. The result of the work done was a car that deservedly received several prestigious international awards.
The super-powerful Fendt 1050 Vario tractor successfully combines in its performance and performance characteristics:
- versatility of use;
- compact design;
- unique traction characteristics;
- economical consumption of fuel and oils;
- cross-country ability and maneuverability.
A general-purpose tractor can be used to master large volumes of a wide range of complex and labor-intensive agricultural work, high-speed transportation of heavy loads along field roads and public highways.
Technical characteristics of the FENDT 1050 Vario tractor
The manufacturer has carefully worked out the entire design of the tractor in such a way that it becomes a perfectly balanced implement capable of solving any tasks assigned to it. This is facilitated primarily by the tractor’s equipment:
- The power plant is a 6-cylinder FendtProDrive manufactured by MAN with a power of 517 horsepower and a displacement of 12.4 liters.
- An 800 liter fuel tank will provide an impressive reserve of autonomy and allow you to do much more work without refueling.
- The maximum speed limit is up to 60 km/h, as well as 33 km/h in case of reversing.
- A ground clearance of 600 mm, as well as a wheelbase of 3300 mm, will allow the tractor to be driven on public roads and provide high maneuverability even over particularly difficult rough terrain.
- The total weight of the tractor is 14,000 kg. With such dimensions and performance, such a mass looks more than adequate.
In many respects, the engine is considered a special pride of the manufacturer. Despite its power, it is characterized by amazing efficiency, which is achieved by optimizing its operation according to the principle of the correct relationship between high torque and extremely low engine speeds.
Experts were also quite surprised by the efficiency of the continuously variable gearbox. Taking into account the fact that it works due to the built-in on-board computer without operator participation, the results of tests for power and speed loads turned out to be amazing - the FENDT 1050 Vario tractor is practically in no way inferior to models with a manual transmission, and in many ways even surpasses them.
Chassis
The use of a hydropneumatic front axle suspension with a built-in leveling system and a working stroke of 300 mm solved the problem of tractor track stability.
This parameter is especially important when processing row spacing and towing heavy loads over rough terrain with complex microrelief. The softness of the ride also has a positive effect on the stability of traction characteristics and fuel economy.
All the advantages of the all-wheel drive chassis and built-in automation of the tractor are effectively realized by an intelligent control system. One of its many functions is torque distribution under variable load conditions.
Technologies and innovations used
Since it is almost impossible to achieve excellent performance with just a power plant in conjunction with a transmission, the manufacturer has introduced a number of innovative technologies into its brainchild that help optimize all production processes in the tractor.
Fendt VarioDrive. This technology makes it possible to distribute torque as accurately and efficiently as possible between the front and rear axles so that the tractor has excellent maneuverability regardless of the complexity of the site, as well as the necessary power loads during field cultivation.
Fendt VarioGrip. The experts who conducted the tests called this technology one of the best, most popular and relevant. Its main purpose is to monitor tire pressure levels. This indicator varies in the range from 0.6 to 2.5 Bar, and adjustments can be made literally in a matter of minutes with minimal intervention from the operator. Another distinctive feature of the technology is that it can work not only with single, but also with dual wheels. As a result of flexible adjustment of tire pressure, it is possible to ensure better maneuverability of the tractor in some difficult conditions.
The manufacturer also paid a lot of attention to the comfort of the tractor operator - for this purpose, the cabin was developed taking into account the basic requirements of ergonomics. At first glance it may seem that its dimensions are too small for such a massive tractor, but during operation it becomes obvious that this opinion is wrong. The FENDT 1050 Vario tractor is truly focused on operating comfort and ensuring maximum operating efficiency.
Sparka from Soyuz-Diagen
Representatives brought and installed additional wheels. The front and rear original wheels from the Fendt factory with Trelleborg tires were paired with wheels with Soyuz-Diagen rims and Trelleborg tires. So we have:
Front wheels: original wheels from the factory IF 710/60 R38 + Soyuz-Diagen wheels IF 650/65 R38.
Rear wheels: original wheels from the factory IF 900/65 R46 + Soyuz-Diagen wheels IF 750/75 R46.
The tire profile height is almost the same, and the outer diameter of the installed wheels is the same as the original ones.
Note: this is the size of the additional wheels that Zeppelin ordered for the sake of versatility, because we also offer this “spark” for the Fendt 1038 model (396 hp), whose original rear wheels have IF750/75R46 tires, and the front ones have IF650/65R38 tires .
Installation of dual wheels. A bracket nut is installed in the factory technological holes on the original discs, which is securely fastened to the inside of the factory disc. Ties and locks will then be attached to it. Using a loader, additional wheels manufactured by Soyuz-Diagen are installed. They are seated inside the original disk and secured with locks and ties, which are tightened securely. Next, we make a few test runs, once again carry out the final even tightening of the ties - and you're done!
The installation of dual wheels takes place while maintaining rear wheel ballasts of 1250 kg, which is an important condition for achieving optimal traction.
