The winners of the annual “Tractor of the Year 2020” competition were announced at the Agritechnica 2019 international agricultural-machinery exhibition. The Fendt 942 Vario won in the “Tractor of the Year” category.
This tractor is fitted with a 6-cylinder MAN engine with a 9 l displacement and a variable-geometry turbine (VTG). The Fendt 942 Vario’s power is 415 hp (305 kW).
The engine has a Common-Rail injection system with a working pressure of 2,500 bar. The agricultural machine is fitted with the Fendt VarioDrive transmission.
Rated speed is 1,700 rpm, and at idle — 650 rpm. Maximum speed — 60 km/h. Maximum torque of up to 1,970 Nm is reached at 1,100 rpm.
The Fendt 420 Vario meets the new Euro 5 exhaust-emissions standard. Exhaust-gas cleaning is done through neutralization using a diesel oxidation catalyst, a soot filter and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology to reduce nitrogen-oxide emissions.
A low own weight of within 11.7 t, along with the integrated VarioGrip tire-pressure control system, makes the Fendt 942 Vario suited for work requiring low ground pressure and high traction.
As standard equipment, the Fendt 942 Vario tractor is fitted with 650/60R83 front tires and 750/70R44 rear tires.
Wheelbase is 3,150 mm. Maximum ground clearance — 603 mm. Dimensions with standard tires — 2,750 mm.
