To convert the massive engine power into traction, the one-of-a-kind stepless Vario technology has been developed further. The Fendt ML 260 provides maximum drive train efficiency during heavy-duty traction work and high-speed road transport. The top speed of 60 km/h is attained at a fuel-saving engine speed of 1950 rpm.

• Maximum working capacity with optimum fuel consumption
• Up to 10 percent more area coverage thanks to optimally adapted travel speed
• 60 km/h top speed at reduced engine speed (1950 rpm)
• Super creeper gears included – also in reverse operation (from 30 m/h)
• Joystick operation instead of several levers
• TMS Tractor Management System
• Turboclutch feature for greater driving comfort
• Stepless reversing of travel direction (shuttle gears) without wear
• Stop-and-go feature
  

When TMS is activated, the tractor electronics control the engine and transmission. This significantly increases operating comfort for the driver. The driver can choose between joystick or driving pedal control, and only needs to set the desired speed, TMS controls the rest.

Practical example: heavy-duty cultivation work at 10 km/h. TMS maintains the speed.

On the slope, the load increases, so TMS increases the engine speed. As soon as the load decreases again (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.

You will appreciate the operating comfort of the 900 Vario, in particular for tillage applications, where you often must operate the PTO controls in addition to the linkage controls. Vario offers you extensive, high-quality PTO management with start-up control.

• Three-speed PTO with electrohydraulic controls (540E/1000 rpm)
• Flange PTO at rear is standard
• Electrohydraulic PTO controls with start-up control
• PTO automatic mode
• Rear external PTO controls
• External PTO-engine speed control

Optional front PTO with outstanding efficiency

The 1000-rpm front PTO on the 900 Vario is driven directly from the engine crankshaft. This allows you to profit from its exceptionally favourable efficiency.
