The standard pump provides 43.6 gpm (165.0 lpm), with optional configurations reaching up to 113.6 gpm (430.0 lpm) via a dual-pump setup. The rear independent PTO offers multiple speeds, including 1000, 1000E, and 1300 RPM, to accommodate various power-take-off driven implements.
Mechanical and Chassis
The 1046 Vario is equipped with four-wheel drive, power steering, and wet disc brakes. It features a wheelbase of 129.9 inches (329 cm) and a base weight of 30,865 lbs (14,000 kg). The operator environment includes a standard cab with air-conditioning and mechanical suspension, with an optional pneumatic suspension system available for improved comfort.
Hitch and Electrical
The rear hitch is a Category IV system. For front-mounted implements, the tractor is equipped with a front lift system capable of handling 12,560 lbs (5,697 kg). The 12-volt electrical system is supported by two batteries and a 270-amp charging system, ensuring consistent power for electronic control units and auxiliary lights.
