New Features and Power in Fendt's Latest Tractor Models

Fendt has rolled out some new high-horsepower tractors, its new Vario 600 Series. 

To learn more about these features, Farms.com connected with Daniel Smith, senior strategic marketing manager for Fendt. 

He explained that the recently unveiled Fendt Vario 600 series is designed to enhance agricultural productivity with high horsepower and innovative features.  

This series includes four models: 614, 618, 616, and 620, ranging from 164 horsepower to 224 horsepower. 

Maximum performance to the drawbar is achieve with its DynamicPerformance feature which provides an extra 15 HP. This system detects when components need more power and automatically sends it there. 

The tractor features a new AGCO Power 5L 4-cylinder engine, paired with the groundbreaking Fendt VarioDrive CVT.  

This combination ensures powerful performance and offers seamless and efficient power transmission from the engine to the ground.  

The tractors are designed for ease of use, with a multi-function joystick and a foot pedal mode, allowing operators to drive the tractor similarly to a car, a feature particularly appreciated by many Fendt customers. 

Another standout feature is the VarioGrip system, an integrated central tire inflation system controlled from the cab.  

This system allows the operator to adjust tire pressure based on terrain, increasing pressure for road travel and decreasing it in the field to maximize the footprint for better traction and reduced soil compaction. 

These tractors also come equipped with high-end features typically found on more powerful machines, such as a reversing fan, enhancing their appeal and utility in various agricultural applications.

Video: Finding a Balance of Innovation and Regulation - Dr. Peter Facchini

Regulations help markets and industry exist on level playing fields, keeping consumers safe and innovation from going too far. However, incredibly strict regulations can stunt innovation and cause entire industries to wither away. Dr. Peter James Facchini brings his perspective on how existing regulations have slowed the advancement of medical developments within Canada. Given the international concern of opium poppy’s illicit potential, Health Canada must abide by this global policy. But with modern technology pushing the development of many pharmaceuticals to being grown via fermentation, is it time to reconsider the rules?

Dr. Peter James Facchini leads research into the metabolic biochemistry in opium poppy at the University of Calgary. For more than 30 years, his work has contributed to the increased availability of benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthetic genes to assist in the creation of morphine for pharmaceutical use. Dr. Facchini completed his B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Biological Sciences at the University of Toronto before completing Postdoctoral Fellowships in Biochemistry at the University of Kentucky in 1992 & Université de Montréal in 1995.
