In the fall of 2006, the second generation Fendt 400 Varios were introduced. With the launch of the new 300 Vario, the 400 series moved into a higher power category. The 415 Vario was one of the most powerful 4-cylinder tractors. The engines were the same 4.0-liter Deutz units as in the 300 series. The technology thus included common rail injection, 4-valve technology, and exhaust gas recirculation. Cleaning the radiator was easy. The ML 90 transmission was similar to the previous version but modified to meet the increased power. There was one hydraulic motor, and two speed ranges. A speed of 50 km/h was reached at 1700 RPM. The TMS system, which enables cruise control via a speed pedal, was an optional feature.

Standard equipment now included mechanical cab suspension in addition to front suspension, with a pneumatic option also available. The front axles were manufactured by Dana; in the 414 and 415 models, the axle was sturdier and, surprisingly, also more agile. The front axle had a limited-slip differential and additionally a 100% lock that could be engaged by a button. The hydraulics included four electrically controlled sections, with flow adjusted from the Vario terminal. The hydraulics were load-sensing, and the 76 l/min pump was now optionally available with a 110 l/min pump. The fuel tank had increased to 245 liters. The Vario terminal was now equipped with a color display.
