Fendt 300 Vario: Fifth generation Revamped and raring to go
Tractors in the performance class up to 150 horsepower (hp) are commonly found on grassland farms, smaller operations, vegetable farms, and in municipal use. The latest generation includes the new Fendt 310 Vario Dynamic Performance (DP) model and extends the Fendt DP concept across all models.
Additional features include a Cat. 4 cab, an updated driver’s seat, a heated front window, and separate valves for the front loader. Modern exterior updates include daytime running lights and rear lights with dynamic turn signals.
This generation includes five models ranging from 103-152hp (76-112 kW). The Fendt 310 Vario, with a base output of 103 horsepower, or 113hp with DP, extends the lower end of the range. The DP concept was introduced with the Fendt 314 Vario at Agritechnica in 2019 and is now standard across the lineup. The intelligent system automatically provides up to 10 additional horsepower (7kW) when needed by secondary systems such as the PTO, air conditioning, or compressed air supply.
The four-cylinder AGCO Power engine is approved for HVO100 and other fuels under DIN 15940. Using HVO significantly reduces the machine’s CO2 footprint.
The Fendt 300 Vario series is used in a variety of settings. For example, the 300s work on smaller structured farms in grassland and arable farms, while on larger farms they are used as farm tractors with a focus on front loaders They are also used in vegetable cultivation and by municipalities. These diverse applications lead to equally diverse equipment needs. Buyers can choose between the Power, Profi, and Profi+ equipment lines, with more than 230 available options and 100 choices for tires and track widths. A basic model can be configured with a guidance system, telemetry, and numerous comfort features. Its ease of maintenance and limited number of accessible lubrication points contribute to a lower cost of ownership over time.
Strong performance in arable farming
In areas with small plots, the agile Fendt 300 Vario excels. Optimised speed ranges at rated PTO speeds help reduce fuel consumption and increase efficiency. For the first time, a 1000E PTO option will be available for the Fendt 300 Vario (order availability expected in autumn 2026). The standard FendtONE driver’s workstation includes all smart features of larger Fendt tractors. Fendt Guide enables precision down to 2 centimetres (cm), and Isobus makes it easy to manage complex implements. Customisable, colour-coded buttons simplify operation an an added holder on the A-pillar with a USB-C socket (available from autumn 2026) will be a welcome feature.
The new ventilated, rotatable driver’s seat improves ergonomics for tasks requiring frequent rear visibility, such as planting work or harvesting potatoes. A rear camera and GroundVision drawbar lighting enhance safety and make hitching implements easier.
Optional K50 hitches enable use with implements featuring forced steering, such as a slurry tanker with tandem axles, improving control on side slopes.
Apple CarPlay will be integrated into the Fendt infotainment system starting in June 2026, operable via armrest terminal and compatible via cable or Bluetooth.
Precision in vegetable cultivation
Vegetable cultivation requires precise, low-speed operation. The Fendt 300 Vario can be equipped with all FendtONE Smart Farming features, including a guidance system with automatic headland management, telemetry, and Isobus features like tractor implement management (TIM). With a payload of approximately 4 tonnes (t), it can operate effectively with heavy implements like planters. The comfortable Titanium seat improves ride quality and the swivelling design supports ergonomics during jobs where operator communication is frequent. The seat also includes three-stage heating and ventilation.
Light and Agile on Grassland
Grassland farmers favour the Fendt 300 Vario for its low weight, compact design, and high ground clearance. With Fendt DynamicPerformance, it provides added power when needed, which is ideal for tasks like mowing with large mower combinations. The Vario transmission allows PTO speed and forward speed to be managed independently, protecting soil structure. The expanded hydraulic system now includes five valves – four at the rear and one at the front – so that mower combinations with additional functions, such as hydraulic folding of the safety curtain can also be used conveniently. Its low centre of gravity and steady traction improve safety on slopes. High ground clearance enables smooth passage over swaths, preserving the crop structure.
Optional GroundVision drawbar lighting illuminates the space between the tractor and implement, aiding visibility during tasks like baling or forage pickup even in low-light conditions.
The fifth-generation Fendt 300 Vario delivers a smart, efficient, and highly adaptable solution for modern farming, according to the company. With enhanced power, advanced technology, and improved comfort, it’s ready to meet the demands of diverse operations today and into the future.
