4 Modern vehicle design paired with superior performance 111 % 72 % fuel costs overall costs 59 % 32 % Low costs per hour When comparing the actual costs involved in investing in a tractor, it is important to consider the overall costs and operating costs per hour or hectare. These include fuel consumption, which is the single greatest factor amounting to over 50 % of costs, write-off including resale value, servicing, repairs and miscellaneous costs such as insurance or housing. Thanks to innovative drive technology and the latest in engine technology, you profit from the exceptionally favourable operating costs per hour (variable costs) of a Fendt. In the overall cost write-off / interest calculation, this results in lowcosts for worked hectareor transported ton per kilometer, the only servicing 2 % truly decisive factor for your success calculation. repairs 4 % other 3 % 30 % Competitor Fendt Sample calculation, based on fuel consumption data for a Fendt Vario and a competitor s tractor, which appeared in top agrar 12/2004. (Competitor s fuel consumption is 4.4 litres per hour more than Fendt s). Calculations based on a diesel price of 1 euro per litre and 8000 operating hours in 10 years. Not only in the agricultural equipment experts are impressed. The styling and operating economics of the 900 Vario not only impresses agricultural equipment experts. In addition to being honoured a gold medal at the Agritechnica 2005 for its innovative technology, the 900 Vario also received three further design awards. Remarkable here is that the standard for the international reddot award is very high and the design award of the Federal Republic of Germany is only given to award winners of other design prizes. Other competitors for these awards for which Fendt received the best of the best in the product category Transports, were no less than famous luxury sedan and sports car manufacturers. This is a sign that technical innovation goes hand-in-hand with leading design at Fendt. The technological innovations and sophisticated details in the new 900 Vario are clad in a new dynamic appearance. The distinctive contours combine both form and function equally. At the same time, the major objective in the development of the 900 Vario was to build a tractor that enhances productivity - whether in heavy-duty field operations or on the road. New design for a new power class Based on a joint design study with Porsche, Fendt engineers have developed a completely new look for the 900 Vario. Essential design elements are a waisted bonnet, newly designed lighting elements and a new cab. Great effort was taken to pair optimum function with the most modern design in all details. 4

5 New attractive design paired with maximum functionality Four-valve engines with 7.14 l displacement and the latest technology for optimum efficiency State of the art Vario drive technology with intelligent control for efficient power transfer 60 km/h haulage speed at reduced engine speed (1950 rpm) New tyre concept with largest tyres possible for standard tractors High lift capacities and hydraulic delivery rate Up to 18-ton permissible gross weight Highest level of operating and ride comfort in the x5-cab with Variocenter Absolute productivity and profitability in the overall cost calculation More power and more comfort The new 900 Vario range not only features a new, innovative engine technology or a new flagship with 360 hp. It also has a transport speed of 60 km/h, larger tyre dimensions and higher payloads, all of which open new possibilities for you. You also profit from the newly developed x5-cab, featuring integrated automatic air-conditioning system and the new Variocenter with greater operating and ride comfort. Impressive profitability An excellent return on investment is the key benefit of Vario tractors. The initially higher purchase price is offset by higher productivity and lower fuel costs during every hour of operation. A further plus in the overall profitability calculation is the good resale value of a Fendt. Benefit from the exceptional overall profitability of the 900 Vario! 5

6 Room for well-being The feedback on the 936 Vario Black Beauty, which was first presented at the Agritechnica in 2005, has continued to be overwhelmingly positive. Spurred on by this outstanding echo and the increasing interest in customised equipment, Fendt now offers the exclusive Design Line, starting with the Agritechnica 2007, to satisfy special customer requests. The complete package includes a chrome bonnet head, a stainless steel exhaust, a Dieselross steering wheel and a custom paint job in one of four different colour schemes. The colours available are black, black-red, steel blue, pine green and fendt-green. Fendt has always attached utmost importance to safety in all aspects. Therefore, Fendt now offers a security system for the entire 900 Vario range. The certified immobiliser system Key Control guarantees security against theft and unauthorised driving. It is the first system of this kind in the agricultural equipment industry that is approved by insurance companies; it offers vehicle security on par with automobiles. Every tractor has an individual key that only fits that specific tractor. In addition, Fendt has set up a centralised factory-based tractor database service that is available around the clock. This prevents most errors during increasingly complex programming of the vehicle. All vehicle information for each tractor is stored in its own tractor file. The new security system also makes offline programming possible, which allows Fendt to guarantee worldwide serviceability independent of communication networks. Ever-increasing working hours at a stretch and higher tractor utilisation require optimum working conditions to aid in protecting the driver s health and combating fatigue. Fendt s answer to this important issue is x5. The x5 cab on the 900 Vario is the largest cab in the standard tractor segment. x5 extra visibility, extra space, extra climate control, extra comfort and extra controls. Room for highest performance With the new x5 cab, Fendt has created a pathsetting dimension in driving comfort. The five-pillar cab features exceptional allround visibility with extremely low sight lines. The continuous tinted front and side windows are distinctive elements. The standardequipped automatic air-conditioning system ensures an optimum ambient temperature in the quiet cab under all operating conditions a spacious wonder for your well-being. 6

It minimizes the transmission of acoustic and mechanical vibrations. The tilted spring elements have integrated level control, so that constant ride comfort is guaranteed without having to change settings. The combination of suspended cab and active suspension on the driver seat (optional) is unique in the standard tractor segment. The new lighting concept on the 900 Vario allows work lights to be adjusted to suit individual requirements. 360 illumination around the vehicle is possible. Xenon work lights are available as an option. 7

8 Ergonomically designed intelligence has a name: Variocenter For demanding users: the multi-function armrest in the Profi version fulfils all wishes. ISO bus compatible Varioterminal has a 6.5 colour monitor for fine adjustments multi-function joystick with activation keys for automatic modes and control keys for the third and fourth auxiliary control units cruise control memory keys crossgate lever for 1st and 2nd auxiliary control units power lift control module for front and rear power lift with quick lift switch, depth control and PTO actuation engine speed memory keys hand throttle control elements for auxiliary control units 5-8 accelerator pedal range membrane keypad for activating TMS, Variotronic TI, operating range selection, 4WD and differential lock engagement, front axle suspension and PTO speed selector. The Power version of the 900 Vario is conceived for large-sized farms that require vehicles with pure traction, but ony need elementary automatic functions for simplifying complex procedures. It is not fitted with a crossgate lever nor a comfort front power lift control module and does not have control keys for the Variotronic TI Headland Management System. The four possible auxiliary control units and the optional front power lift can only be controlled via the linear modules. hydraulic oil supply fuel level lighting control panel controls for automatic air-conditioning speed indicators centre information display ground speed indicators compressed air supply engine temperature controls for rear window heater and wiper ventilation controls controls for centre information display People who have workplaces free of clutter work more efficiently. Already proven for desks and workbenches, this also applies to the driver station in a tractor. With the new Variocentre, Fendt has created an excellent workplace. The plus in ergonomics All the tractor control elements on the 900 Vario are centrally-located on the steering column unit and the multi-function armrest on the driver seat. A driver seat with heating and pneumatic suspension offers a high degree of comfort. Optional active suspension and seat ventilation systems are also available. The multi-function armrest can be adjusted independently in vertical and horizontal direc- 8

9 Ideal ergonomics in the Fendt Variocentre All operating elements are integrated in the multifunction armrest Driver seat with air suspension (optional: active suspension with seat ventilation) All driving functions are on the multi-function joystick Horizontally and vertically adjustable multi-function armrest no more relative movements between the driver and the control elements Varioterminal with 6.5 colour monitor on the multi-function armrest Driver seat including multi-function armrest, can be turned 10 to the left and 20 to the right Variotronic TI headland management system tion. It accommodates the Varioterminal and multi-function joystick, as well as all operating functions. That means you get optimum ergonomics. There are no longer relative movements between the driver and the operating elements, i.e. Varioterminal, since they always move together with the driver. The newly designed Varioterminal boasts a modern design with a considerably larger screen. Its position on the multi-function armrest can be adjusted independently. Power lift under tight control The power lift controls are located next to the joystick and crossgate lever. With a new type of power lift control module, you now have the quick lift switch, depth control and front and rear PTO engagement in control, all in one place. 9

10 Reversed driving is just as easy as forward Besides classic operations, specialty operations for contracting, municipal and forestry applications are increasing in professional areas. For these very demanding types of operations, Fendt offers a factory-installed full-function reversing driver station, which turns your 900 Vario into an uncompromising two-way vehicle. No compromises The Fendt factory-installed reversing driver station (optional) on the 900 Vario was already taken into account during the design phase of the X5-cab and is one hundred percent integrated in the vehicle concept. The result is a full-function reversing driver station without compromises. 10

11 All operating elements turn along with the seat No limitations during operation Everything functions in the usual way the same as when driving forward Joystick and steering functions are automatically adapted Optimum visibility to the implement Perfect for specialty operations Expands the operating spectrum Driver seat including multi-function armrest, can be turned 10 to the left and 90 to the right (reversed driver station) Changing directions is fast Without getting out of your seat, you can unlock the lock, pull the steering column down towards the seat with the help of supporting springs and turn the entire driver station in the desired direction. Then simply push the steering column back into working position and lock it in place. Without any further steps, you can start the Vario and continue working. The seat can be turned 90, which makes it easy to climb down from the driver station when it is reversed. 11 Reversed driving without limitations All operating and display elements swing along into the reverse position. The joystick functions and the steering are also adapted to the changed driving direction. You therefore do not have to rethink operating movements and can drive forward and reverse without impairment of driving or operating comfort while having all the operating and control elements in their accustomed position.

12 So powerful and yet so economical thanks to the latest engine technology 1482 Nm torque, 360 hp max. power at 1900 rpm and a specific fuel consumption of 198 g/kw for the 936 Vario, thanks to implementation of the latest technology. The external EGR system provides targeted cooling of recirculated exhaust, which lowers fuel consumption considerably compared to internal recirculation systems. It saves you up to 10 percent in fuel. Nm kw g/kwh rpm Power Torque Fuel consumption i n s i d e A fuel consumption indicator is integrated in the Varioterminal on the 900 Vario. It constantly informs you about the current fuel consumption. Additionally, there is an extra menu page that displays average fuel consumption along with the current consumption, a value that previously had to be calculated from the amount of fuel that was re-fuelled and the corresponding number of operating hours. Additionally, there are two sum counters that allow you to assign the amount of fuel used precisely to a certain area or, in the case of agricultural contracting, to a certain customer. Fuel consumption per hectare can also be logged at the same time in the on-board computer. The 900 Varios have efficient cooling units with maximum servicefriendliness. The Visctronic electronic fan control can be activated by every cooler individually. The efficiency with which the cooling system is controlled is substantially higher than that of other cooling systems and cooling reserves need not be maintained, which has a positive effect on fuel consumption. No matter if you use your high-horsepower tractor predominantly for field applications or for haulage in either case superior overall profitability is crucial. The 900 Varios have engines with the latest technology, with impressive power and awesome torque with extremely favourable fuel consumption the basis for an economical tractor. Economical engine technology In the light of increasing diesel prices, fuel economy takes on an entirely new meaning. In the 900 Vario, Fendt employs the new Deutz TCD 2013 L06 4V engine to increase economy. It has a speed-independent common rail highpressure fuel injection system and fully electronic engine control. 12

13 4-valve engine with 7.4 l displacement: 360 hp max. power at 1900 rpm (ECE R24) (936 Vario) Common rail high-pressure injection system with an injection pressure of up to 1600 bar Electronic engine control EDC 7 Visctronic electronic fan control for absolutely efficient cooling units Low specific fuel consumption of 198 g/kwh (936 Vario) Fuel consumption indicator 660-litre tank capacity for long work days Servicing interval every 500 operating hours Unrestricted use of RME External EGR economical and environmentally-friendly The high-tech injection system and the first-rate external exhaust gas recirculation system complement each other. Cooling and proportioning of recirculated exhaust gas optimises the combustion process significantly. The benefit in comparison to a simple, internal exhaust gas recirculation system is substantially lower fuel consumption. Fully approved for RME fuel The 900 Vario is also approved for RME fuel without restrictions, as are all Fendt tractors starting with the 1995 models. The use of rape methyl ester according to DIN EN is fully approved by Fendt as standard specification. You profit from the cost benefits the tractor does not need to be converted, nor is costly additional insurance required. 13

When TMS (Tractor Management System) is activated, the tractor electronics control the engine and transmission. This significantly increases operating comfort for the driver. The driver only needs to set the desired speed, TMS controls the rest. In the graphic above, one can see that the tractor drives on level ground at a reduced engine speed. On the slope, the load increases, so TMS increases the engine speed. As soon as the load decreases (on level ground or downhill), the quantity of fuel injected is reduced. This maintains an economical driving style since TMS drives the tractor at the lowest engine speed possible. The productivity of a tractor, and therefore also its return on investment, is determined in great part by fuel consumption. But an economical engine is only one of the determining factors. It is just as important to maintain the engine at its economical optimum while achieving as high an area coverage as possible. No problem with the Vario drive concept from Fendt. Efficiency through high effectiveness To convert the massive engine power into traction, the one-of-a-kind stepless Vario technology has been developed further. The Fendt ML 260 transmission provides for maximum drive train efficiency during heavy-duty traction work or high-speed road transport. The top speed of 60 km/h is already attained at a fuel-saving engine speed of 1,950 rpm. 14

15 Maximum working capacity with optimum fuel consumption Up to 10 percent greater area coverage thanks to optimally adjusted travel speed 60 kph maximum speed at reduced engine speed (1950 rpm) Super creeper gears included also in reverse operation (from 30 m/h) Operated using the joystick instead of several levers TMS Tractor Management System Turboclutch feature for greater driving comfort Stepless reversing of travel direction (shuttle gears) without wear Stop-and-go feature Fendt Vario: better than power shift With infinitely variable speed, you can utilise power reserves that are not even available to modern power shift transmissions. With conventional transmissions, you are always one gear too high or too low, because of the steps. Vario allows you to mobilise the power reserves that are hidden in between the steps. That means: power flow without interruptions. A creeper gearbox for special operations is no longer necessary. With the 900 Vario, you can drive 30 m/hr and up at rated speed. In addition to economic benefits, the stepless drive also offers you a one-of-a-kind benefit in ride comfort. To increase driving comfort, the 900 Vario has a turboclutch feature, which prevents engine stalling. While driving with TMS, the electronics take over the complete transmission control and you only need to set the desired speed. 15

16 Overview of technology The fourth-generation Fendt 900 Vario is an uncompromising new development, which incorporates the experience gathered from over 10 years of stepless drive technology for high horsepower tractor design. The result is enhanced performance, efficiency and comfort. It comprises six different models ranging from 220 hp to 360 hp maximum power. 1.

18 Driving safety guaranteed The ball-type coupling can take up to a vertical load of up to four tonnes in Germany (EU: three tonnes) without speed restrictions at 60 km/h for 6-cylinder tractors. In view of the currently strongly increasing number of forced steered trailers at this time, Fendt offers factory-installed connection points for forced steering according to ISO/DIS These can be mounted on the left side, or both sides, and are fitted with standardised ball heads. The piton fix (heavy duty) is designed for a vertical load of up to four tonnes in Germany (EU: three tonnes). The controls and display for the steering axle lock are located on the clearly laid out and easy to operate Varioterminal. The terminal is used to select the control valve, engage or disengage the steering axle lock, as well as define the upper and lower speed setpoints to match prevailing conditions. Awarded a silver medal at the AGRITECHNICA 2007: the low hitch system with automatic steering axle lock. Through the separation of horizontal and vertical force lines in the vehicle body, the low hitch point system with swinging drawbar, as well as the other systems, increases driving stability and therefore safety. The trend towards heavy trailers with low hitch points is increasing, particularly for high horsepower tractors. Whether you are driving with a slurry tank, a loading wagon or heavy dumper, you can profit from the favourable force lines in the tractor made possible by a lower hitch position. It also permits significantly higher vertical loads than classic low hitches. Automatic steering axle lock With the innovation of the year 2007, the automatic steering axle lock from Fendt, freecastering self-steering axles are automatically locked at a specified speed and when reversing. The controls and display are located on the clearly laid out and easy to use Vario-Terminal. Fendt Identifier protects against operating errors when changing implements, by ensuring secure identification of the trailer. Since the demand for heavy trailers with forced 18

19 FSC: speed-dependent Fendt Stability Control for greater comfort and driving safety* Reactive steering system ensures better straightahead driving at fast speeds on the road and provides the driver with steering feedback FBS2: Fendt dual-circuit four-wheel braking system** ensures tremendous deceleration even with highest payloads Automatic trailer steering axle lock (optional) Low hitch systems can be transferred between tractors of different ranges Low hitch point with up to four-tonne vertical load at 40 km/h * Profi version with dual-circuit four-wheel braking system ** Only for the Profi version steering, which require higher vertical load capacity on the towing vehicle, is currently increasing, Fendt offers a new concept with low hitch systems. Maximum driving safety In the 60 km/h version, the 900 Vario is standard-equipped with the FBS2 dual-circuit braking system and Fendt Stability Control FSC. In addition to enhanced comfort, these systems provide greater driving stability and increased braking capacity, which permit a maximum speed of 60 km/h. A further benefit is a higher permissible gross weight and the higher payload that goes with it. Even in the Power version, a permissible gross weight of 18 tonnes is possible for the 900 Vario although only with a maximum speed of 40 km/h. FSC controls the behaviour of the independent wheel suspension of the front wheel, dependent on travel speed and therefore ensures better tracking when driving in curves. 19

20 The 900 Vario makes the impossible possible 350 mm 1250 mm The pneumatic suspension has integrated level control, so that the level of comfort always remain constant without having to make adjustments. The large height difference and long distance between the spring elements on the x5 cab compensate for braking effects and pitching movements. The hydropneumatic independent wheel suspension is equipped with a double wishbone axle, which optimises steering angle. The fully automatic level control ensures that suspension travel remains the same on both sides (up to eight tonnes of front axle load). Furthermore, the entire suspension travel can be run through manually, the joints and bearings are maintenance-free and have no lubrication points. The transport of goods for purchase and sales jobs is playing an increasingly important role in agricultural production today. Fendt s answer to this challenge: a standard tractor with a 60 km/h high-speed chassis. This chassis guarantees maximum operational performance capability on the road and in the field without compromises. More mobility with greater safety The 900 Vario is the first standard tractor with full in-field capabilities that can be registered for a top speed of 60 km/h. The basis for this higher mobility is a perfectly adapted highspeed chassis. The symbiosis between a front axle with independent wheel suspension, FSC, a reactive steering system and dual-circuit fourwheel braking system enables driving safety on par with commercial vehicles along with maximum payload reserves. 20

21 60 20 percent greater transport capacity with 60 kph (compared to 50 kph) Top speed of 60 km/h even with the largest tyres possible Hydropneumatic independent wheel suspension with 300 mm suspension travel Fully automatic level control with lockable front axle suspension Reactive steering system ensures better straightahead driving at fast speeds on the road and provides the driver with steering feedback Fendt Stability Control (FSC) Comfort begins at the front axle The hydropneumatic independent wheel suspension on the front axle has a 300 mm suspension travel, which is the longest of any standard tractor. The fully automatic level control ensures a constant suspension travel up to a maximum front axle load of eight tonnes. When mounting ballast weight, changing tyres, etc., the entire suspension travel can be run through manually. The front axle suspension can be locked to allow exact implement control in the front mounting area axle swing is maintained. A combination of suspension systems The combination of shock load stabilising, x5-cab with pneumatic suspension and independent wheel front axle suspension with level control, provides ride comfort on par with commercial vehicles. This also increases safety substantially, since the vehicle is not in danger of developing bounce when driving with mounted implements. 21

22 The suitable operating weight is your choice Thanks to the independent wheel front axle suspension and swinging mud guards, the steering angle allows a minimum turning circle of 6.6 m for the 936 Vario (6.1 m for 922 Vario). For users that do not require front hydraulics, there is an elegant solution for mounting front weights up to 2500 kg quickly and easily using the long suspension travel of the front axle suspension Weight where and when you need it The 900 Vario, with its relatively low unladen weight of around 10 tons and a clever ballasting concept, allows you to adapt weight distribution to your requirements. In this way, for example for trailed implements, when you add weights in the front, a 60:40 weight distribution is possible. If the tractor is then used for draft work, and subject to the corresponding torque and forces, the values are shifted and you have "dynamic ballasting of 40:60, which lies in the optimal range for draft work. Intelligent 4WD and differential lock technology Standard for Power and Profi According to the mode selected, 4WD and differential locks can be automatically engaged and disengaged dependent on steering angle or speed. If you choose 100% 4WD or 100% differential locking, these are engaged permanently. Both functions can be engaged and disengaged under load, in automatic as well as 100 percent modes. No matter, if you use your 900 Vario for field work, or for haulage or for special operations in any case, you profit from low unladen weight. On the one hand, you have higher payload reserves and on the other hand you don t need to transport unnecessary weight. A tailor-made ballasting concept is available for heavy-duty draft work. Universal applicability With an unladen weight of 10,360 kg, the Fendt 936 Vario is the first choice for all kinds of heavyduty applications. It has a weight-power ratio of 29 kg/hp and exceptionally dynamic handling performance. A permissible gross weight of 18,000 kg provides ample payload reserves for heavy implements. For heavy-duty traction work, you can ballast the tractor variably and for haulage, you also benefit from its low vehicle weight. 22

23 Advantageous unladen weight of only 10,360 kg (936 Vario) Excellent power-to-weight ratio of 29 kg/hp (936 Vario) High payload up to 7600 kg Front weight with or without front power lift Rear ballast weights with rim weights up to 1000 kg on each side Roadworthy ballast weight concept - no speed restrictions, does not require wide vehicle markers. New tyre concept with the largest possible tyres for standard tractors ensures optimum transfer of traction and soil protection, up to a 2150 mm rear wheel diameter Electrohydraulic engagement for 4WD and differential lock, can be actuated under load New tyre sizes High engine power alone is not enough for heavy-duty traction work. To transfer the extra engine power from the new 900 Vario optimally to the ground, it was designed with enough space for a completely new tyre concept. Wheels with a 2150 mm diameter can be mounted on the rear axle, they are matched by 1750 mm diameter wheels on the front axle. In comparison to previous tyre concepts, this is a 15 % increase in tyre contact Tailor-made ballast weights To match performance and tyres, the 900 Vario also has a new modular ballast weight concept. At the front, the tractor accepts weights up to 2500 kg, with or without front power lift. At the rear, two 1000 kg rim weights are possible without speed restrictions. The rear weights are integrated into the rims in such a way that no wide vehicle markers are necessary. 23

24 Powerful drives at the front and rear Standard with flange PTO The 900 Vario is fitted with a flange PTO as standard. When required, you can switch between different PTO profiles easily and in a relatively short amount of time. Optional front PTO with excellent efficiency The 1000-rpm front PTO on the 900 Vario is driven directly from the engine crankshaft. This allows you to profit from its exceptionally favourable efficiency. Save yourself unnecessary steps External actuation of the linkage and rear PTO controls are available for the 900 Vario. Mount rear implements easily and save yourself unnecessary steps, for example, when filling the slurry tank or mounting and removing implements. Never endanger the drive shaft again Concentrate on the essentials at the headlands. The standardequipped PTO automatic mode engages and disengages the PTO as soon as you lower or raise the implement. You will appreciate the operating comfort of the 900 Vario, in particular for tillage applications, where you often must operate the PTO controls in addition to the linkage controls. It offers you extensive, high-quality PTO management with start-up control. Two-speed PTO as standard The PTO engagement control has 2-speed preselection. It is conveniently operated with a membrane keypad on the Variocentre. The 900 Vario comes with the PTO speeds 750 rpm und 1000 rpm at the rear as standard. The 540E economy PTO with 750 rpm enables fuel-saving work with implements that are designed for 540 rpm. A 1000/1000E combination is also available. It allows 1000-rpm PTO implements to be run at a reduced speed, which optimises 24

25 Two-speed PTO with comfort controls (540E/1000 rpm, 1000/1000E optional) Flange PTO at rear is standard PTO actuation with start-up control PTO automatic mode (automatic engagement dependent on height of the linkage) External PTO actuation at the rear External PTO-engine speed control (via TMS) fuel-efficiency. The optional front PTO is driven directly from the engine s crankshaft, making it particularly efficient. Automatic start-up control ensures that the front and rear PTO shafts are started up according to the power requirements of the implement. That extends the service life of PTO units and lowers machine costs, for the implements as well. Automatic modes The well-known and valued PTO automatic mode is also available as standard on the 900 Vario. After being activated simply by pushing a button, it automatically engages and disengages the PTO, depending on the lifting height of the power lift. The 900 Vario offers you operating comfort inside and outside of the cab. The electrohydraulic PTO engagement can be operated externally from the tail lamp bracket. 25

26 Powerful hydraulics for modern implements Linkage with power reserves Electrical valves: first-rate work and control comfort flow rate raise flow rate lower lock activate timer function The lift capacities of the front and rear linkage on the 900 Vario have been significantly increased compared to the previous models. The EHR rear linkage has a maximum capacity of 1180 dan and the front power lift 5550 dan. This allows the 900 Vario to lift heavy implements without a problem. The front power lift is an integral part of the tractor design. The coupling point is therefore relatively close to the vehicle, which has a favourable effect on the weight distribution of the tractor when equipped with mounted front implements. Regarding linkage design, the 900 Vario is well thoughtout into the very last detail. For example, the top link can remain on the tractor as it is, even when it is not required. timer function settings activate external valve actuation You can control electric proportional valves with the multi-function joystick, crossgate lever, and the linear module. These are all double-acting control units, which can be used in a single-acting capacity, and also feature a floating position. The controls for the first two valves are located on the convenient crossgate lever. Setting the valve functions with the Varioterminal is simple. Using the rotary control and function keys, you can easily and precisely adjust the flow rates and actuation times of all electric proportional valves, set valve priority or enable external actuation for any of the electric proportional valves. Premium class hydraulic equipment In the Profi version, the 900 Vario is fitted with hydraulic equipment that leaves no wishes open. The EPC rear linkage can be switched over to double acting mode with the terminal. Pulling implements down in hard soil is no longer a problem and even dismounting implements is easier, since the rear power lift can always be lowered, even if the balls ends are wedged. A double-acting comfort front power lift is available as an option instead of the standard front power lift. In the Profi version, up to eight electric da auxiliary control units are optionally available. The connections at the rear are all connect-under-pressure lever couplings. The 900 Vario in the Power version has a simpler range of equipment than the Profi version and is designed for heavy-duty traction work with conventional implements. It can be equipped with a maximum of four electric auxiliary control valves (standard are 3 electric auxiliary control valves). These are controlled with linear modules. A crossgate lever and multi-function joystick are not possible in the Power version. When using the optional front hydraulics, these are controlled via one of the linear modules. A da comfort power lift is not possible here. In contrast to the Profi version, the EPC rear linkage is single-acting. Modern implements demand ever greater flexibility and performance from the tractor hydraulics. Fast lifting and high oil delivery rates are required for economical operation. The 900 Vario models, with their load sensing hydraulics and electrical hydraulic valves, are well-equipped for comfortable operation. Powerful hydraulic system The 900 Vario is equipped with a load sensing hydraulic system. That means: modern axial piston pumps deliver the exact quantity of hydraulic oil required up to 160 litres per minute. A maximum of 87 litres of hydraulic oil is available to mounted or trailed implements. The hydraulics and transmission have separate oil supplies, which permit unrestricted use of bio-oils for the hydraulics. 26

27 Load sensing hydraulics Hydraulic oil delivery capacity: 160 l/min (optional 216 l/min) Maximum lift capacities: Rear: 1180 dan Front: 5550 dan EPC rear linkage with - shock load stabilising - quick lift - lift height limiter - lowering throttle - position, draft and mixed control - external actuation Double-acting rear power lift * Integral front power lift with gas shock absorbers and external controls Up to 8 electric auxiliary control valves* Crossgate lever* Maximum available hydraulic oil quantity: 87 l Bio-oils can be used for the hydraulics thanks to separate oil supplies * Profi version EPC rear power lift with reserves The electrohydraulic rear power lift, which has a maximum lift capacity of 1180 dan, guarantees that in practical operation even heavy rear-mounted implements designed for this power class can be lifted to the fullest lift height without trouble. The standard-equipped shock load stabilising counteracts vehicle bounce by actively raising and lowering the power lift. Auxiliary valve equipment for all cases In the Profi version, the 900 Vario has four electric double-acting auxiliary control valves as standard and can optionally be upgraded with up to eight control valves (6 rear and 2 front). These are controlled with the crossgate lever, linear modules and the multi-function joystick. A rear power beyond connection and free return flow for the front and rear are available as an option. 27

28 Maximum precision automatically when working with Fendt Auto-Guide PRO Fendt Auto-Guide PRO : fits your individual requirements and almost any shape of field Fendt proline the classic steering assist system for driving along exact straight parallel lines Fendt procontur for guidance along curved, parallel lines Fendt procontur for guidance along concentric circular tracks Point A Wayline Point B Simple operation A colour terminal makes operating Auto-Guide PRO simple and logical. There isample memory capacity available for storing field boundaries, as well as obstacles in the field. When working, tracks that have already been worked are marked in colour. This facilitates orientation at night or in poor visibility conditions. Reference station An optional Local Base Station, which provides the correction signal, is available for Fendt Auto-Guide PRO. This makes the system autonomous and allows operation independent of subscriptions for reference signals that are provided for a fee by commercial correction signal providers. It has been designed to be mobile and can be set up at any location in a short amount of time. Then you can drive the whole day long with precision that remains constant. Fendt Auto-Guide PRO further increases the well-documented high profitability of Vario tractors. It further reduces costs for performing work as well as direct costs. With the steering assist system, working quality remains steady and constant, even on long work days. At the same time, you benefit from substantially increased working comfort. A highlight where profitability is concerned With the Auto-Guide PRO GPS-supported steering assist system, accurate pass-to-pass driving is child s play. You reduce overlapping as well as skipping and can therefore optimise area usage without needlessly using up resources. The driver also has more time to focus on the implements, to monitor these and, if necessary, adjust their settings optimally to changing conditions. The steering assist system delivers constant, precise working quality independent 28

29 Constant working quality under all visibility conditions even on very long work days Overlapping and skipping is reduced Savings in seed, fertiliser and pesticide expenses Savings in fuel and working time Greater area coverage since full working width is used and turning manoeuvres at the headlands are faster. Higher working quality since more attention can be focussed on the implement Controls are integrated in the Variotronic TI headland management system Faster system accuracy when beginning work Fast, precise tracking and sensitive steering corrections, thanks to proportional steering valve of the length of operation and the prevailing visibility conditions. In contrast, even the best driver s concentration wanes towards the end of a long work day. The right accuracy* You can choose from three accuracy levels for Fendt Auto-Guide PRO to match your requirements. The correction signal Standard VBS offers pass-to-pass accuracy of 20 cm, the Precision HP 5 cm and the system High Precision with a local base station 2 cm. Choose the accuracy that suits your work. * The accuracy that can be obtained in the field depends on the GPS signal, correction signal, system and tractor factors, type and settings of the implement and the conditions in the field. Auto-Guide equipment varies from country to country 29

30 Often small things are what make everyday life pleasant External hydraulic actuation at the rear makes mounting implements easier. In addition to the linkage, a hydraulic control valve (e.g. from the hydraulic upper link) and PTO engagement can also be actuated here. The front ballast weights on the 900 Vario have a modular design. Up to 2500 kg in additional weight can be added, without tools, by using either the front power lift or a special frame support. The long suspension travel of the front axle is used when mounting the weights, it can be run through manually. The new solution for cable lead-through even easier and dirt can t get in Coupling hydraulic connections the easy way. The four hydraulic connections at the rear (optionally up to six) in the Profi version and the three (optionally four) hydraulic connections on the Power version are fitted with double connect-under-pressure couplings as standard. You have surely experienced this in your day to day work. Whether you have to change implements when you are pressed for time or have to work many hours in your Vario without breaks during peak work times, often the small detail solutions are what make life easier. Fendt offers you a number of such details. 30

31 All driving functions are integrated in the ergonomically optimised joystick on the multi-function armrest. In addition to the buttons for automatic functions and hydraulic valve control, you can activate two engine speed memory and cruise control keys without having to change controls. Comfort for the passenger. The 900 Vario is standard-equipped with a passenger seat and automatic safety belt. A comfort passenger seat is available as an option. The new standard-equipped Varioterminal is located on the multi-function armrest. This eliminates annoying relative movements. The fully ISO-Bus compatible Varioterminal has six function keys and a 6.5 colour monitor. To extend maintenance intervals, the new inline air filter system has permanent dust suction cleaning. That minimises downtime during peak working times. The automatic hitch with remote control (standard) can be adjusted in height, quickly and easily. The locking pin is opened with a lever. The hitch can then be lowered or raised on the guide rails with only one hand. 31
