DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Fendt 712 Vario features a wheelbase of 106.3 inches (270 cm), contributing to its stability during field operations, particularly on uneven terrain. Weighing 14,560 lbs (6,604 kg), it provides substantial traction for heavy-duty tasks but may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces. Optimal for medium to large-scale agricultural operations, it excels in drafts and towing applications, though soil compaction should be monitored due to its substantial weight.
