Fendt 1000 Vario Gen3 – the flagship series from Marktoberdorf: 1038 to 1050 Vario with 12.4-litre six-cylinder, up to 383 kW / 517 hp, 1,900 to 2,100 Nm torque
The Fendt 1000 Vario Gen3 is the third iteration of the flagship series introduced in 2016 from Marktoberdorf, and the largest standard tractor the maker builds in Europe. The 1038 to 1050 Vario models are powered by a six-cylinder engine of 12,419 cm³ which, at market launch, was the first Fendt engine sourced from MAN rather than the group's usual engines; the Gen3 iteration bundles the latest update to the engine, cab and operating electronics. The stepless Vario transmission, the maker's hallmark since 1995, remains the namesake of the entire model range.

The register lists here 4 versions with 323 to 383 kW, equal to 435 to 517 hp, torque from 1,900 to 2,100 Nm, a rated speed of 1,700 rpm, unladen weights of 14,000 kg, gross weights of 18,000 kg, a lift capacity of 12,920 kg, lengths from 6,160 to 6,400 mm, widths from 2,750 to 2,950 mm and a height of 3,570 mm.
As Fendt's largest series, the 1000 Vario targets large farming operations and agricultural contractors with high draft-power needs for tillage, heavy trailers and harvest transport, competing there with the top models from John Deere, Case IH and Fendt's own sister brand Massey Ferguson.
On a used buy, what counts is the condition of the Vario transmission unit and its oil cooling, the tightness of the exhaust aftertreatment and AdBlue system, the function of the terminals, ISOBUS interface and auto-steering, and the operating-hours count and complete service record through the Fendt dealer; spare parts run through the AGCO 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.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
