AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, is introducing the Fendt® 200 Vario® series tractors to North America. As the smallest tractors in the Fendt family, the series combines lightweight maneuverability with high performance to deliver a feeling of ease, even during the toughest of work. The Fendt 200 Vario tractors will debut in North America at the 2023 World Ag Expo and will be available for order through Fendt dealerships for delivery in 2024.

The Fendt 200 Vario tractors are available in three models ranging from 94 to 114 rated horsepower, all featuring the performance and world-class features Fendt customers expect. The Fendt 200 Vario series can be configured as a standard tractor or in one of three specialty crop variants.

“AGCO is excited to introduce the Fendt 200 Vario series to North America and offer compact, lightweight, and agile tractors that meet farmers’ rigorous demands,” says David Soliday, senior tactical marketing manager for Fendt tractors. “We are also proud to offer specialty variants to farmers looking to realize the versatile benefits of the Fendt 200 Vario series for their vineyards, orchards, and other specialty crops.”

Agile Control Meets Dependable Power

The Fendt 200 Vario tractors are powered by the reliable AGCO Power™ 3.3 L engine and feature the Fendt Vario CVT, allowing operators to spend more time and effort focusing on the task at hand instead of shifting gears. The contoured frame of the tractors ensures exceptional maneuverability and the low weight-power ratio and extensive tire options help minimize yield-robbing soil compaction during operation.

The smart three-in-one suspension system combines self-leveling, lockable front axle suspension, mechanical cab suspension, and active shock load stabilizing to offer a superior driving experience. The suspension system combines with the effort-reducing Fendt Reaction™ steering for safe straight-ahead work, truck-level driving, and working comfort.

Comfort-First Experience

The Fendt 200 Vario tractors are characterized by their thorough design to ensure exceptional operating comfort during even the longest working days. The spacious and adaptable cab includes a refrigerated storage compartment, sophisticated ventilation, and air conditioning to provide excellent airflow via the steering tower and the cab roof.

The Fendt 200 Vario tractors are equipped with the FendtONE™ operating concept which combines the familiar operation of the tractors with planning and controlling tasks that must usually take place in the office. The workstation includes a panel with a multifunction joystick, multiple hydraulic controls, and an optional 12-inch terminal to create an intuitive experience that can help operators and farm managers save valuable time.

Trusted Customer Care and Warranty

The Fendt Gold Star Customer Care program comes standard with each Fendt tractor. This program includes a 36-month/3,000-hour limited warranty with no deductible and a maintenance program that covers all scheduled maintenance, including the cost of oil, filters, belts, and other maintenance items during the coverage period. Each new tractor also receives free five years of Fendt Connect™ telematics service that allows an operator or their dealer to monitor important machine data remotely. In the rare case of a breakdown, Fendt dealers will take care of the parts support while quickly diagnosing and repairing the problem to get the tractor back in the field, or they will provide a loaner tractor if it takes more than 48 hours to complete a repair.
