Fendt 720-728 Vario

The completely redesigned seventh-generation Fendt 700 Vario was unveiled in autumn 2022, with deliveries promised for autumn 2023. Its engine is a 7.5-liter Agco Power AP75 low-speed unit developed specifically for Fendt, with no exhaust-gas recirculation or variable turbo. Maximum power is reached at 1,700 rpm and the torque is significantly higher than in previous 700-series tractors. The torque-boost feature is offered only on the 728 model—and even there it isn’t limited by, for example, ground speed or PTO use. As on the 1000 series, the cooling fan is hydraulically driven, which is said to save fuel and free up space at the front.

In terms of specs, the 700 Gen7 is roughly on a par with the 800 series. Standard hydraulic flow is 165 l/min and the lift capacity is 11 tonnes. Thanks to the new VarioDrive transmission control, the operator doesn’t need to worry about range changes or engaging four-wheel drive—front and rear axles each have their own hydraulic units. A top speed of 50 km/h is reached at 1,200 rpm, and on the 726 and 728 models, 60 km/h at 1,450 rpm. The pneumatic dual-circuit brakes come standard with a single pedal. Tyre pressures can be adjusted from the in-cab terminal via the optional VarioGrip system. Despite overall dimensions having grown into the 800-series class, the turning circle has been reduced from 11.0 m to 10.0 m, thanks in part to the transmission’s ability to speed up the front wheels during turns.

The cab’s basic structure remains unchanged. The FendtONE concept terminal is a 12-inch display in the armrest; an optional second display can be fitted in the roof and retracted into the headliner. Optional extras include an electrically adjustable seat with memory and a four-stage air filtration system that protects, for example, against chemicals. For the hydraulics there are also optional high-flow flat-face couplings, which are easy to keep clean.

The fall 2025 Gen7.1 update brought 20 horsepower extra power to all models and a 60 km/h version to the 724, 726, and 728 models.
