Comfort that pays
PERFECTLY PLANNED WORKPLACE
Well thought out ergonomics and functionality are essential in the cab of a tractor. The Vario 800 workplace was designed with this in mind. The functions are convenient and very easy to understand. Important details that make life easier for the driver are adapted to the challenges of hard daily operation, and offer comfort for a long working day.
Maintaining condition and fitness is essential for the Fendt driver. The intelligent Fendt technology, which enhances the control processes, helps meet these demands. That allows the driver to keep getting the most out of his 800 Vario over a long working day. That makes comfort an economical factor.
A well-adapted, comfortable seat – the original Fendt Comfort Seat:
The original Fendt Comfort Seat features an integrated backrest extension along with legroom and tilt adjustment, allows adaptation to virtually all height requirements. This seat attains a new height of comfort through air suspension, automatic weight adjustment and shock absorbers that can be adjusted, from soft to hard. Other health-benefiting features include a lumbar support and an integrated natural air conditioning featuring an activated carbon filter. Your health is important to us.

Better overview, ingenious controls, utmost comfort
THE VARIOTRONIC –
YOUR BEST WORKER
Welcome to the Variotronic World. You work many hours on a 800 Vario TMS – that is why operating and driving comfort have the highest priority. With its three elements – a joystick, monitor and control console – the new Variotronic not only ensures extraordinary working comfort, but also unparalleled productivity.
With the new Variotronic TI you can recall previously stored, optimized working processes with a touch of a key – again and again. For you this means: ingeniously simple handling – not just during the test drive. Moreover, you will receive full benefits in profitability and productivity during in-field operation.

engine speed
fuel consumption
When the TMS (Tractor Management System) is activated, the tractor electronics control the engine and transmission. This significantly increases operating comfort for the driver. The driver only needs to set the desired speed; the TMS controls the rest. In the graphic above, one can recognize that the tractor drives on level ground at a reduced
engine speed. On the slope, the load increases, so the TMS increases the engine speed. As soon as the load decreases (on level ground or downhill) the quantity of fuel injected is reduced. This maintains an economical driving style since TMS drives the tractor at the lowest engine speed possible.

Driving pedal mode
Set the direction you would like to drive with your left hand, then all that is needed to start the tractor is to press the driving pedal. In the driving pedal mode, only the right foot is required to drive the tractor
– similar to a car with an automatic transmission. The further the pedal is pressed down, the faster the tractor goes. The sliding control on the armrest sets the maximum speed that is attained when the pedal is pressed all the way down. If you release the pressure on the pedal, the 800 VarioTMS decelerates.
NEW: |
For an additional engine braking effect, the driver can also |
|
take over control of the TMS in the driving pedal mode and |
||
|
||
|
reduce the transmission ratio manually. |
NEW: The switch on the steering column adjustment lever has three functions:
1.Changing directions while driving.
2.Setting travel direction in the driving pedal mode.
3.Stop and go function with active parking func tion:
If the switch is pressed while moving, the tractor decelerates to a standstill. The tractor only starts to drive again when the switch has been released. This function provides even more com-
fort for all work which requires frequent
short stops.

Decelerate
If you are going too fast, pull the joystick back and the Vario 800 brakes the engine and transmission.
Reverse
Pull the joystick back and the Vario reverses from standstill. Faster or slower reverse speeds function in the same way as for forward travel.
Rapid or slow acceleration
How rapidly or slowly you accelerate or decelerate is determined by which of the four pre-set acceleration rates you select with the thumb control.
Automatic forward/reverse
Giving the joystick a quick tap to the left is all that is necessary to change driving direction from forward to reverse or vice versa. The Vario decelerates to a standstill by itself and then accelerates, without jerking, in the opposite direction.
Tempomat cruise control
The Tempomat holds the tractor at a constant pre-set speed. All that is required to activate it, is to give the joystick a quick tap to the right.

The Varioterminal, typical FENDT
THE VARIOTERMINAL – 6 KEYS, 3 CONTROLS, IT COULDN’T BE EASIER
With the Varioterminal, Fendt has redefined operating and control comfort. Combining setting and control elements into one functional unit not only makes simple applications even easier, but also aids the experienced driver during complex tasks. Its high degree of customization is a benefit to every driver.
Ask any Vario driver.
