TRANSMISSION

The Fendt 312 Vario features a continuously variable transmission (CVT), allowing for infinite forward and reverse gears, which enhances its operational flexibility and efficiency. This system offers smooth power delivery and optimal engine performance across varying load conditions, making it ideal for tasks requiring precise speed control. However, potential challenges may include higher initial costs and the need for specialized maintenance compared to traditional gear transmissions.

MECHANICAL

The Fendt 312 Vario tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability across diverse terrains, making it ideal for both fieldwork and transport tasks. The continuous variable transmission (CVT) provides smooth power delivery and optimal fuel efficiency, although it may lead to a steeper learning curve for operators unfamiliar with CVT systems. The optional air-conditioning enhances operator comfort in prolonged tasks, addressing potential heat stress during intensive work sessions.

FENDT 312 VARIO TIRES

The Fendt 312 Vario features a standard tire configuration of 480/65R24 at the front and 540/65R38 at the rear, providing optimal traction and stability for general agricultural use. The optional 4WD tire setup of 425/75R20 and 600/65R30 enhances flotation and improves performance in soft or uneven terrain, ideal for specific applications like seedbed preparation or field operations with heavier implements. Considerations include potential increased soil compaction and reduced maneuverability with larger tires, which should be balanced against the need for improved grip and performance in challenging conditions.
