This page gathers versions under the register name Fendt VARIO, the stepless transmission concept Fendt introduced in Marktoberdorf in 1995 with the Favorit 926 Vario – also recorded in the register as the Vario Favorit 716. The TMS suffix stands for the Tractor Management System, which automatically coordinates engine and transmission; the three-digit number gives the power class.

The register lists here 9 versions with 118 to 152 kW from six-cylinders of 5,700 to 6,057 cm³ displacement, unladen weights of 6,140 to 7,320 kg, gross weights of 11,000 to 12,500 kg, lengths of 4,600 to 4,710 mm and widths of 2,430 to 2,685 mm.
In 1995 Fendt was the first maker to offer a stepless transmission as standard in tractors of this class, shaping the upper power class of standard tractors; Vario technology remains one of the brand's defining features today. Within a few years other makers followed Fendt with their own stepless transmissions, establishing the technology as standard in the upper power class.
On the early used Vario models, operating hours and the condition of the stepless transmission, the function of the TMS, electronics and hydraulic valves, the four-wheel-drive clutch and brakes, and the condition of the cab mounting and chassis count; parts run through the Fendt network.

- 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.
