Introduction
Fendt 1162 Vario MT Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Fendt 1162 Vario MT is a high-horsepower agricultural crawler tractor, introduced in 2020 as part of the 1100 Vario MT series. Designed for heavy-duty field operations, this tracked machine balances immense pulling capacity with advanced drivetrain technology.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 15.3-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers a gross rated power of 610.2 hp (455.0 kW) at 1730 rated RPM. The engine is engineered for high-torque applications, providing 2139 lb-ft (2900.5 Nm) of torque at 1450 RPM. It complies with Tier IV emission standards and features a 500-hour oil change interval.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The machine utilizes the VarioDrive CVT (continuously variable transmission). This system allows for infinite forward and reverse speed control, enabling the operator to maintain optimal engine load regardless of ground speed. The drive system is based on a crawler configuration, which maximizes surface contact to reduce soil compaction and enhance traction.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, pressure-flow compensated design, operating at a pressure of 2900 psi (200.0 bar). It provides a standard pump flow of 58.1 gpm (219.9 lpm), with optional higher flow capacities available. The tractor is equipped with 4 to 8 rear valves. The independent rear PTO offers two speed configurations, 1000 and 1000E, to suit various implements.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
With an operating weight of 42,000 lbs (19,051 kg) and a wheelbase of 118 inches (299 cm), the tractor provides the stability required for heavy tillage and traction work. The operator station consists of a standard cab equipped with air conditioning to maintain comfort during extended field operations.
Conclusion
The Fendt 1162 Vario MT is engineered for large-scale agricultural operations requiring significant traction and precise speed management. Its combination of a high-torque diesel engine, stepless CVT transmission, and robust hydraulic capacity makes it suitable for intensive soil preparation and heavy implement pulling.
