ENGINE DETAIL

The Fendt 822 Vario tractor features a robust Deutz 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a substantial torque of 704.4 lb-ft at 1450 RPM, delivering exceptional pulling power for heavy-duty applications. Its emissions compliance with Stage 3b/Tier IV interim, facilitated by DEF, ensures it meets modern environmental regulations while maintaining rated outputs of 200hp and 220hp, making it versatile for various farming operations. However, the 500-hour oil change interval may necessitate more frequent maintenance in intensive use scenarios, potentially leading to operational downtime.

FENDT 822 VARIO ENGINE

The Fendt 822 Vario is equipped with a 6.1L Deutz 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing robust power and torque for various agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 133.4 gallons, it offers extended operational range, ideal for long hours in the field. However, the need for an 8.5-gallon DEF tank indicates it adheres to stringent emissions standards, which may require additional maintenance and monitoring of DEF levels during operations.

TRANSMISSION

The Fendt 822 Vario features a continuously variable transmission (IVT), allowing for seamless shifting between an infinite number of gears within two ranges, enhancing operational efficiency and adaptability in various farming scenarios. This design maximizes engine output while optimizing fuel consumption, ideal for tasks requiring precise speed control, such as tilling or spreading. A potential challenge may arise in maintenance, as IVTs can require specialized knowledge for repairs compared to traditional gear systems.
