The Fendt 800 Vario Gen5 series is a complete newly developed machine and covers a performance range of up to 343 hp with three models and the Fendt DynamicPerformance added power concept. For the first time, the series will receive technologies such as VarioDrive, the low-speed Fendt iD concept and the self-cleaning engine air filter. The new cab and innovative lighting concept increase work comfort throughout the working day.

The 800 Vario Gen5 has , with three models (Fendt 826, 829 and Fendt 832 Vario), has a power range from 260 to 320hp (191 – 235 kW) in the Power+, Profi and Profi+ versions. The completely new developed series has the Fendt DynamicPerformance (DP) added power that releases an additional 23hp (17 kW) each when its required due to secondary consumers such as the cooling fan, oil pump or air-conditioning compressor. Under all operating conditions, the machine provides enough power for the main consumers, such as the travel drive, which increases productivity.

Model	Max. Power	Maximum power with DP (ECE R120)	Max. Torque (Nm)
Fendt 826 Vario	260hp (191kW)	28 hp (208kW)	1,450
Fendt 829 Vario	290hp (213kW)	313hp (230kW)	1,550
Fendt 832 Vario	320hp (235kW)	343hp (252kW)	1,680

Designed to meet the requirements of contractors and large agricultural farms, the focus of the Gen5 series development was on a powerful and manoeuvrable tractor with a high payload and low fuel consumption in various conditions and comfortable operations.

Fendt VarioDrive , the latest generation of the Vario transmission paired with the efficient 6-cylinder CORE80 engine with 8.0litres cubic capacity, specially developed for Fendt, is pivotal for the low fuel consumption. Exhaust gases uses a diesel oxidation catalytic converter (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF) and with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) without exhaust gas recirculation. It meets all the emission standards required worldwide. In the EU, this is the emission standard Stage V.

The CORE80 engine is already approved for HVO100 and other fuels according to DIN 15940. Operating with HVO can significantly reduce the machine's CO2 footprint. There are also maintenance-free hydraulic tappets built into the engine. The first engine oil service occurs at 500hrs, so the initial 50hr interval is not needed. Technical improvements increase the replacement interval of the transmission oil from 2,000 to 4,000 operating hours or 4 years.

Manoeuvrable with Fendt VarioDrive

The single-stage Fendt VarioDrive drivetrain with permanent, independent four-wheel drive is now available for the first time in the Fendt 800 Vario series. This enables maximum tractive power with high soil protection on different subsoils. In addition, VarioDrive drives the front and rear axles independently of each other and distributes the power dynamically. Another advantage is the pull-in turn effect. The independently driven front axle actively pulls the machine into the turn without torsion making a small turning circle. 

Fendt iD low speed saves fuel

Fendt iD low-speed allows the Fendt 800 Vario to achieve high torque and saves fuel at low engine speeds. The rated engine speed is only 1,700 rpm. In the main working range, the speed is 1,100 to 1,400 rpm. The top speed of 60 km/h is reached at 1,450 rpm. The maximum torque of 1,680 Nm is available on the top model Fendt 832 Vario from 1,200 rpm and ensures high tractive power and acceleration with minimal fuel consumption.

High payload

With a low operating weight of 9.9t with a permissible overall weight of up to 17.5t with an approval for 40 and 50 km/h results in a payload of 7.6t. This enables legal transport of a front-rear mower combination or a seed drill with front tank. There are flexible options for ballasting at the front and on the rear wheels so that the machine runs optimally in field or road use.

 Brings light into the darkness

The Fendt 800 Vario Gen5 series has a new tractor cab with a newly developed lighting concept. LED spotlights are available in two different packages: Vision and UltraVision. Eight or 12 spotlights can be installed in the cab roof. In the UltraVision package, the tractor illuminates the area with 4,400 lumens per 5 stage dimmable spotlights. This function is useful when several machines are working on one area. The Vision package offers 1,000 lumens per spotlight. All spotlights, including the rotating beacon, are in a position to improve night working.

Easy and fast operation

Work lights can be stored as profiles, up to four can be stored at one time.  This means , if the tractor is driving to the left of the field chopper, the driver can dim the light on that side, to not glare the chopper driver. The profile can be changed to the other side with one click. If the weather changes due to fog or rain, the light intensity can be adjusted quickly, with independent control of each spotlight. .

The machine can be equipped with Tech Rails on the C-pillar for installing additional work lights or sensors in the future.

Optional Fendt GroundVision lighting on the drawbar lights up the area directly in front of the implement. This helps coupling and uncoupling of implements in the dark.

Spotlight options are also available on the tractor's chassis. These include:

• Work lights on top of the bonnet
• Daytime running lights (standard)
• Low beam and high beam
• Corner Lights (standard)
• Auxiliary lights on the mirror frames
• New indicator and position lights
• A total of 4 work lights on the A-pillar
• Entrance lighting
• Rear lights
• Work lights on the rear fenders
• Lighting for marking for wide loads

Efficient ventilation, cooling and filtration

The Fendt 800 Vario Gen5 also has DLG awarded Concentric Air System (CAS) ventilation & cooling as standard. The fan can also have a reverse function as an option. The self-cleaning air filter including automatic control is another option, along with automatic dust extraction for the cab air filter.

More comfort in the cab

The tractor cab has the FendtONE workstation with armrest and up to three display areas (Profi and Profi+). Optional footrests can be added on the steering tower and the side console.

Optional front window heated laminated safety glass (LSG) makes visibility easier if the tractor is used in winter service. This speeds up defrosting and prevents new ice being formed in case of snowfall.  The glass does not splinter when broken, so the driver is protected against injuries. In addition, the laminated glass front window dampens noise particularly well.

Reverse drive control allows the driver to have a direct view of implements, such as a wood chipper or forestry mulcher.

The new, electrically adjustable Super Comfort Seat Titanium Leather has numerous options for good seating comfort. The driver adjusts the seat height and position as well as the backrest electrically via a lever on the side of the seat. Personalised seat profiles can be stored in user profiles in FendtONE onboard.

Other comfort controls include:

• Multi-stage seat climate control
• Multi-stage seat heating
• Four-way lumbar support
• Adjustable side bolsters
• Massage function with three different programs

The performance of the standard air-conditioning system is automatic and provides comfortable working temperatures. Drinks and food can be cooled (0-16°C) with a new 12litre compressor cooler.

Apple CarPlay has been added to the Fendt infotainment via cable or Bluetooth and can be operating from the terminal on the armrest. The software will be rolled out in June 2026. 

High hydraulic power for use with complex implements

The Fendt 800 Vario Gen5 now has up to six hydraulic control units in the rear and two in the front (6+2). A maximum of 4 control units in the Power+ version are available in the rear and one in the front (4+1) or five control units in the rear (5+0). There is a choice of three hydraulic pumps: 165 l/min, 220 l/min, and for owners with different requirements, a double pump system with a maximum flow capacity of 385 l/min (165 + 220 l/min) is available. If the implement being used transfers high amounts of heat into the hydraulic system, an optional additional hydraulic oil cooler can be added. Optional FFC flat-sealing couplings for control units and the Power Beyond connection prevent dirt ingress, as well as oil leakage and pressure losses. The rear power lift transfers weight from the implement to the tractor for optimum ground hugging. A lift assist for the top link helps it to support the tractor when mounting implements.

 Transportation at up to 60 km/h

An optional exhaust brake, along with a hydraulic auxiliary brake, the self-centring Fendt Reaction Steering, Fendt Stability Control (FSC) or the Trailer Brake Assistant (TBA) helps with safety during transport. Optional automatic parking brake and numerous

For large areas in grassland

Complex mowers combinations, such as a Fendt Slicer front mower and Fendt Slicer 1010 RCB PRO rear mower with conveyor belt, require sufficient payload to legally transport the mowers. The low empty weight of the machine, optionally cooled front PTO, Fendt VarioGrip and FendtONE onboard all aid in grassland use. Independent four-wheel drive, Fendt VarioDrive, protects the sward and avoids forage contamination by reducing ground pressure. Position control and relief control for the front power lift is also available as an option. For an optimal cutting pattern, the cutter bar has constant pressure and is guided permanently.

Numerous axle and tyre options

For the Fendt 800 Vario series, there are numerous options for track width, tyres and the Fendt VarioGrip tyre pressure regulation system. Depending on requirements, owners can now order the tractor as standard with a flange or a stub axis (3.0m or 2.50 m). The 2.50 m stub axis is now approved for 60km/h and is the base of the optional dual wheel hub. The dual wheel hub transfers power through the axles instead of the rims as in other systems. Track width of the dual wheels is changed in the 2.5m version via flexible intermediate spacers.

New: Guidance system at up to 40 km/h

Until now, the use of a guidance system was limited to a top speed of 25km/h. The Fendt 800 Vario Gen5 series offers the Fendt HighSpeed Guidance, which can be used at up to 40km/h. It is good for farms with large, flat areas, or for tight farming windows because of weather changes.

The Fendt 800 Vario Gen5 can be ordered from autumn 2025.
