ENGINE DETAIL
The Fendt 1050 Vario tractor boasts a robust MAN 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 12.4L, delivering an impressive rated power of 500hp at 1700 RPM and maximum torque of 1770 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, making it highly suitable for heavy-duty applications. Its compliance with Tier IV emissions regulations utilizes selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, which effectively reduces nitrogen oxides, posing a challenge for operators needing to maintain urea levels for optimal performance. With an oil change interval of 500 hours, routine maintenance is manageable, although operators should plan for downtime to ensure engine longevity and efficiency.

FENDT 1050 VARIO TIRES
The Fendt 1050 Vario features a robust tire configuration with front tires sized at 650/65R38 and rear tires at 750/75R46, ensuring superior traction and stability for various agricultural tasks. The optional tire sizes, including 710/60R38 in front and 900/65R46 in the rear, enhance flotation and soil compaction management, making them suitable for larger field operations or softer soils. While larger tires can improve efficiency in expansive fields, they may reduce maneuverability in tighter spaces, thus requiring strategic planning regarding operational environments.
