Introduction

Fendt 700 Vario Series (718, 720, 722)

The Fendt 700 Vario series, introduced in 2012, comprises high-performance row-crop tractors engineered for professional agricultural operations. These machines integrate advanced powertrain technology with ergonomic design to address diverse field requirements.

Engine and Powertrain

The series is powered by a 6.1-liter, 6-cylinder Deutz engine featuring turbocharging and intercooling. This liquid-cooled unit produces a rated net power of 185 hp (138 kW). The drivetrain utilizes the ML 180 continuously variable transmission (CVT), which allows for infinite forward and reverse speed control without the need for traditional gear shifting.

Hydraulics and Power Take-Off

The hydraulic system is of the load-sensing type, operating at a pressure of 2901 psi (200 bar). Standard pump flow is 28.8 gpm (109 lpm), with optional higher-capacity configurations available. The tractor offers extensive PTO versatility, featuring an independent rear PTO with 540/540E/1000/1000E speed settings and a 1000 rpm front PTO.

Chassis and Operator Environment

Built on a 109.6-inch wheelbase, the tractor features four-wheel drive, planetary final drives, and power steering. The standard VisioPlus cab is equipped with air-conditioning and pneumatic suspension to minimize operator fatigue. Safety is managed through wet disc brakes, and the platform supports precision farming technologies such as the optional VarioGuide system.

Conclusion

The Fendt 700 Vario series is designed for heavy-duty agricultural tasks that require high precision, variable speed control, and hydraulic versatility. Its robust construction and sophisticated transmission make it suitable for a wide range of row-crop and general field applications.
