ENGINE DETAIL
The Fendt 720 Vario is powered by a Deutz turbocharged 6-cylinder engine, delivering rated horsepower of 185hp (138kW) with a maximum output reaching 200hp (149.1kW). Its substantial displacement of 6.1L ensures robust torque delivery at lower RPMs, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications such as tillage and plowing. A maintenance interval of 500 hours for oil changes indicates a focus on efficiency and lower operational costs, but it may require more frequent maintenance check-ins if heavily utilized.

TRANSMISSION
The Fendt 720 Vario features a continuously-variable transmission (CVT) with infinite forward and reverse gears, allowing for seamless power delivery and optimal engine efficiency at varying speeds. This CVT system enhances operator comfort by reducing fatigue during prolonged use, while also offering precise speed control for tasks like field work or transport. However, the complexity of CVT may lead to increased maintenance costs compared to conventional transmissions.

FENDT 720 VARIO TIRES
The Fendt 720 Vario is equipped with standard tires sized 540/65R30 in the front and 650/65R42 in the rear, providing a balanced load distribution and good traction on varied terrain. Optional tire sizes, such as 600/65R30 and 710/70R38, offer enhanced flotation and stability for heavier loads or softer ground conditions, but may affect engine power efficiency due to increased rolling resistance. It's critical to match tire selection with planned use—while larger tires improve grip and reduce soil compaction, they can also increase fuel consumption and alter the tractor's handling characteristics.
