FENDT FARMER 409 VARIO POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Fendt Farmer 409 Vario is powered by a Deutz turbocharged diesel engine, offering a respectable output of 86 hp with a peak torque of 284.7 lb-ft at 1450 RPM, which is advantageous for heavy-duty applications requiring consistent pulling power. The 3.8L four-cylinder engine balance provides a good mix of efficiency and performance, although torque delivery at lower RPMs can be a challenge in certain tasks like tilling or plowing, potentially leading to slippage if not managed correctly. With a starting voltage of 12V, compatibility with standard battery systems simplifies maintenance and increases convenience for operators.

TRANSMISSION
The Fendt Farmer 409 Vario utilizes a continuously variable transmission (CVT), enabling smooth and efficient power delivery without discrete gear shifts, which enhances operator comfort and reduces engine wear. Its infinite forward and reverse gears (in a 2-range setup) provide flexibility in various work scenarios, allowing for precise speed adjustments tailored to specific tasks. This configuration is ideal for applications requiring frequent speed changes, like planting or mowing, but may necessitate a learning curve for operators accustomed to traditional gear systems.
