This collective page gathers Fendt tractors outside the named series, from the compact 200 Vario to the large 900 Vario. Fendt was founded in 1930 by Hermann Fendt in Marktoberdorf in the Allgäu and has belonged to AGCO since 1997. In 1995 Fendt introduced the 926 Vario, the first series-production tractor with a stepless transmission, and the Vario gearbox has defined every range of the marque ever since. The three-digit type numbers rank size upwards from 200 to 900, and the V suffix (209V, 210V, 211V) marks the narrow-track vineyard versions for working between tight rows.

The register lists 53 versions from 32 to 383 kW with three- to six-cylinder engines of 3,298 to 12,419 cm³. Unladen weights range from 3,080 to 13,550 kg, gross weights up to 18,000 kg, lengths from 3,600 to 6,400 mm and widths from 1,205 to 3,000 mm.

Fendt ranks among the premium marques in European tractor building and competes with John Deere, Case IH and the other AGCO brands for the larger, technically sophisticated field tractors. The Vario stepless transmission is regarded as a benchmark for the whole market and has since been taken up in similar form by competitors.

When buying used, the Vario transmission electronics are the main focus: reading the fault memory and a test drive under full load-shifting are essential. On vineyard models, bodywork and wings are prone to sheet-metal damage from passing between vine rows; on the large 900-series, check the rear axle and cab mounting. Spares flow through the AGCO-Fendt dealer network.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
