Introduction
Fendt 1156 Vario MT Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Fendt 1156 Vario MT is a high-horsepower agricultural crawler tractor introduced in 2020. Designed for large-scale farming operations, this machine focuses on maximizing tractive efficiency and handling heavy-duty field applications.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 15.3-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled turbocharged diesel engine. It generates a rated gross power of 556 hp (415.0 kW) at 1730 RPM and provides a maximum torque of 1991 lb-ft (2699.8 Nm) at 1450 RPM. This power density is designed to maintain consistent performance under heavy draft loads.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 1156 Vario MT utilizes the VarioDrive CVT (continuously variable transmission), which allows for infinite forward and reverse speeds. This transmission system eliminates the need for fixed gear shifts, enabling the operator to optimize ground speed independently of engine RPM for improved fuel efficiency and operational precision.
Hydraulics and PTO
Equipped with a closed-center, pressure-flow compensated hydraulic system, the tractor delivers a pump flow of 58.1 gpm (219.9 lpm) at a pressure of 2900 psi. It features 4 to 8 rear valves to manage various implements. The rear PTO is independent and supports 1000/1000E speed settings, providing versatility for power-demanding implements.
Dimensions and Chassis
As a crawler tractor, the 1156 Vario MT relies on track-based propulsion for superior weight distribution and soil compaction reduction. The machine has a wheelbase of 118 inches (299 cm) and an operating weight of 42,000 lbs (19,051 kg), ensuring high stability and grip during heavy pulling operations.
Conclusion
The Fendt 1156 Vario MT is engineered for professional agricultural environments requiring high-traction capabilities and continuous power delivery. Its combination of a high-torque engine, infinitely variable transmission, and advanced hydraulic output makes it suitable for intensive primary tillage and large-scale field tasks.
