It offers a powerful and efficient engine designed to operate at low speeds without compromise, advanced performance in hydraulic systems, an intelligent transmission, guaranteed maneuverability an precision in every situation", said the jury, explaining why the Fendt 620 Vario DP received the award.
At Agritechnica 2023, Fendt presented the completely newly developed Fendt 600 Vario series in the 150 to 200 hp power class for the first time. The compact four-cylinder combines high power and payload with a low power-to-weight ratio and exceptional manoeuvrability as well as smart functions in FendtONE. The machine can therefore be used in a variety of ways on different farms in grassland, arable farming, with a front loader on the farm or in the transport and municipal sector.
