Fendt expands its 300 Vario series
Fendt brings its 300 Vario series closer to 100 Hp with the 103 Hp 310, the fifth model in a series, now in its fifth generation, which now covers the power range from 103 to 152 Hp. At the same time, the German brand is equipping all tractors in the series with Fendt DynamicPerformance - DP, an additional 10 Hp (7 kW) of power that the 4-cylinder Agco Power engine can release via a smart control, which can be activated in the event of additional demands and accessory users such as PTO, compressed air supply or air conditioning. For Fendt, the 300 series is a versatile machine, suitable for the most diverse tasks, offered, depending on needs, in three equipment lines - Power, Profi and Profi+ - to which are added 230 different features and around a hundred options for tires and track width. The Marktoberdorf technicians can configure the vehicle with both basic equipment and advanced systems such as automatic guidance and telemetry.
Power take-off and 'big-time' cab. Fendt has introduced several new features in the new 300 Vario series. First of all, it introduces the 1000E PTO for particularly economical operation of the vehicle (available from the second half of 2026). Even inside the cab the FendtOne workstation and the smart options that the brand offers on its larger tractors offer a host of amenities. These include the Fendt Guide, which makes it possible to work with precision of up to two centimeters, and the ISOBUS interface for direct control of equipment from the terminal. The additional A-pillar mount and USB-C port also make their debut. The new swiveling and ventilated seat increases working comfort while the rear-view camera and GroundVision drawbar lighting improve visibility to the rear of the tractor when maneuvering or couling equipment. Another new feature on the equipment front is the Apple CarPlay built into the Fendt infotainment system, via cable or Bluetooth. Control is via a terminal on the armrest, similar to placement in cars. The software will be launched starting in June 2026.
The Fendt 300 Vario original equipment tires offer a ground clearance of 510 mm, a permissible total weight of 9.5 tons and an approximately 4-ton payload.
The hydraulic system. The new Fendt 310 Vario and the entire 300 Vario series have a hydraulic system with a variable flow pump with a maximum flow rate of 110 l/min as standard and up to seven valves. Of these, two and/or three valves are intended for front loader use. This means that up to five valves remain available, four at the rear and one at the front (4+1). The front linkage can be optionally equipped with position control and pressure modulation and is integrated into the vehicle so that the full steering angle is available. Braking assistance is provided by the TMS system, but Fendt points out that, from Fall 2026, an additional hydraulic brake will be available to further reduce wear on the service brake and increase safety in extreme conditions.
Improved visibility, a small turning circle, Fendt Active overlap steering, the Stop & Go function, an increased front axle load of 7.5 t up to a speed of 8 km/h and a revised hydraulic system make front loader operation easier.
The curved panoramic glass on the roof ensures a continuous vertical 77° field of view and good visibility even with the front loader raised. The latter comes in several options. For standard requirements, Fendt offers the Cargo 4.75 S front loader, where the "S" stands for sensitive arm. This is also a compact version (Fendt Cargo 4.75 S Compact) available to move the vehicle's center of gravity even closer to the center of the machine, thereby increasing stability and driving comfort.
For more complex requirements, Fendt is introducing the third valve for the Fendt Cargo 4.75 front loader and the Fendt Cargo 4.75 Profi on the 300 Vario. These valves are operated via the crossgate lever or the optional 3L-Joystick. This makes it possible to handle up to three functions simultaneously. There are also new features on the lighting front, with the debut of new LED headlights and LED daytime running lights to improve visibility at night and in daytime road traffic. A final special feature offered for the new 300 Vario series, in addition to the traditional key locking system, is an immobilizer, an additional system to combat tractor theft and unauthorized use of the machine. The 300 Vario series is already approved for use with alternative fuels such as HVO 100 (hydrotreated vegetable oil, 100% renewable biofuel).
