Fendt Vario – the register spelling Fend for the continuously variable Vario models from Marktoberdorf, three- to six-cylinder engines, 91 to 172 kW, models from 211 Vario to 718 Vario
In the register, these Fendt Vario models appear under the spelling variant “Fend”; they are tractors of the Vario range, built in Marktoberdorf, Bavaria, the marque's home site, which has belonged to the AGCO group since 1997. In 1996, Fendt brought the first production-ready continuously variable tractor transmission to market with the Vario, shaping the whole industry; the digits in the type designation – 211 for a small model, 718 for a large one – order the ranges by power class.

The register lists here 6 versions with 91 to 172 kW from three- to six-cylinder engines of 3,298 to 7,142 cm³ displacement. Unladen weights range from 5,180 to 10,530 kg, permissible gross weight from 7,500 to 18,000 kg, lengths from 4,070 to 5,405 mm and widths from 2,350 to 2,550 mm.
Fendt is regarded in Europe as a premium brand among tractor makers, with particularly high resale value and a strong position in Germany, Austria and France; the Vario range covers almost the entire power spectrum, from the yard tractor to the large field tractor.
When buying a used Vario, the condition of the continuously variable transmission and hydraulics, leaks on the engine and the cab electronics (terminals, Isobus connection) rank among the key checkpoints; spare parts run through the 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.
