The register lists here four versions with 63 to 88 kW (86 to 120 hp) from four-cylinder engines of 3,800 to 3,802 cm3 displacement. Unladen weight ranges from 4,800 to 5,240 kg, and one version reaches a permissible gross weight of 9,000 kg. Overall length sits between 4,112 and 4,190 mm, width between 2,165 and 2,455 mm, height between 2,765 and 2,875 mm. Torque ranges from 386 to 540 Nm at a rated speed of 2,100 rpm; all four engines are approved for operation on diesel and rapeseed methyl ester (RME).
With stepless power transmission and a power band of 86 to 120 hp, the Farmer 400 Vario positioned itself in the mid segment for operations needing comfortable fieldwork with stepless speed control as well as transport and front-PTO work.
On the Vario transmissions of this series, it is worth checking the service records for regular oil changes and the software state of the transmission control; mechanically, what counts is the condition of the PTO clutch plates, the tightness of the hydraulics and lift-linkage connections, and corrosion on the load-bearing frame members and cab mounting. Service, spare parts and software updates run through the Fendt/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.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- 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.
