Introduction
Fendt 938 Vario MT agricultural crawler tractor
The Fendt 938 Vario MT is a high-horsepower crawler tractor produced by Fendt, a division of AGCO, at the manufacturing facility in Jackson, Minnesota, USA. Designed for intensive agricultural operations, this machine combines high-torque output with a track-based drive system for optimal soil contact and traction.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 9.8-liter, 7-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers a rated gross power of 374 hp (278.9 kW) and reaches its peak torque of 1252 lb-ft (1697.7 Nm) at 1450 RPM. The engine is liquid-cooled and compliant with Tier IV emission standards.
Transmission and Drive
The 938 Vario MT utilizes the Vario ML400T continuously variable transmission. This system provides infinite forward and reverse speed control, allowing the operator to select the precise operating speed regardless of engine RPM, which is critical for maintaining consistency in field tasks.
Hydraulic System
The tractor is equipped with a closed-center hydraulic system operating at a pressure of 2900 psi (200.0 bar). The standard pump flow is 58 gpm (219.5 lpm), with an optional combined configuration reaching up to 116 gpm (439.1 lpm) to support high-demand implements. It features 4 to 6 SCV valves to manage various hydraulic attachments.
Hitch and PTO
The rear hitch is a Cat. IVN/III configuration, providing a lift capacity of 16,500 lbs (7484 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point, and up to 19,000 lbs (8618 kg) at the hitch ends. The independent rear PTO offers 1000 and 1000E speed options, engaged at engine speeds of 1650 and 1225 RPM respectively.
Conclusion
With its crawler drive system, 14-inch tracks, and a weight range between 33,443 and 33,667 pounds, the Fendt 938 Vario MT is engineered for heavy-duty field work where high traction and minimal soil compaction are required. It serves as a primary power unit for large-scale agricultural enterprises.
