Fendt Vario 500 – the 513 and 514 from Marktoberdorf: stepless Vario transmission, four-cylinder diesel, 88 to 99 kW, 4,038 cm³

Fendt builds its Vario tractors in Marktoberdorf in Upper Bavaria and in 1996 became the first manufacturer to introduce a stepless transmission as standard in full-size tractors. The Vario 500 range with the 513 and 514 types follows a type logic where the first digit, 5, denotes the range and the following digits the approximate power step within it. Both models are approved for running on diesel or the biofuel RME.

The register lists here 2 versions with 88 to 99 kW from four-cylinder engines of 4,038 cm³ displacement, with unladen weights from 6,050 to 6,400 kg, a length of 4,453 mm, a width of 2,451 mm and heights from 2,930 to 2,965 mm.

The Vario 500 sits in Fendt's mid power segment between the more compact 300 range and the larger 700 and 900 ranges, aimed at arable and mixed farms needing a manoeuvrable yet powerful standard tractor. The stepless Vario transmission is regarded as one of the brand's distinguishing features against competitors such as John Deere and Case IH.

When buying used Vario technology, check above all the condition and service history of the stepless transmission, the tightness of the hydraulics, the condition of the electronics and sensors, and the operating hours and rust on the chassis and cab. Spares and the service network run through Fendt's distribution within AGCO.

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.
