Fendt Vario: more comfort and higher productivity A NEW WAY TO DRIVE VARIO DRIVING WITH TMS profi 10/2003 „... the finest technology.“ Pulling power: “And also here, its 268 g/kWh fuel consump- tion is on par with the most economical manual shift tractors” Driving a tractor is certainly more than just sitting in it and driving away. You know that most of all. There are different conditions to consider for every operation you carry out with your tractor. That is the reason why you should evaluate an operating con- cept based on specific operations.
This was the practical background which was the basis for the development of the Vario operating concept with the Tractor Management System Vario TMS . Compared to operating concepts on other tractors with stepless transmission, the Tractor Manage- ment System Vario TMS Vario TMS from Fendt pro- vides very convincing concrete benefits. It allows you to carry out your work more comfortably and easily. Beginners find their way around quickly and easily, and the Vario TMS concept offers great poten- tial for professionals.

Vario TMS – typical Fendt TRACTOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 10 km/h 10 km/h 10 km/h 10 km/h 10 km/h engine speed fuel consumption When the TMS (Tractor Management System) is activated, the tractor electronics control the engine and transmission. This significantly increases operating comfort for the driver. The driver only needs to set the desired speed; the TMS controls the rest. In the graphic above, one can recognize that the tractor drives on level ground at a reduced engine speed. On the slope, the load increases, so the TMS increases the engine speed. As soon as the load decreases (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. 8
