ENGINE DETAIL
The Fendt 818 Vario features a robust Deutz TCD 2012 L06 engine, providing maximized performance with a rated power of 170hp and peak torque of 592lb-ft at 1450 RPM, ideal for demanding agricultural tasks. Its Tier IIIa emissions rating with EGR helps meet regulations while ensuring efficient operational capacity; however, note the potential for higher operational costs due to frequent oil changes every 500 hours. This tractor balances power and efficiency, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications such as plowing and harvesting, though the 6.1L displacement may lead to increased fuel consumption under full load conditions.
