The Fendt 600 Vario tractor received the Machine of the Year award at agricultural machinery trade fair, Lamma, which took place on 15-16 January in Birmingham, UK.
“We are thrilled to have been awarded the Machine of the Year 2025 Innovation award at LAMMA,” says Martin Hamer, Fendt sales manager for North Western Europe. “This machine can be used in a wide range of applications. With its fantastic manoeuvrability and excellent power-to-weight ratio, the 600 Vario is well suited to UK agriculture. The first units have already been delivered and we look forward to getting underway with a comprehensive dealer demonstration campaign in this spring.”
The jury statement said: “The Fendt 600 Series redefines the mid-range tractor market with its combination of advanced technology, operator comfort, and efficiency. Offering four models (164-224hp), it incorporates innovations from larger Fendt tractors, tailored for UK and Irish farmers, where 62% of Fendt sales in 2023 were in the 130-220hp range.
Featuring the FendtOne cab, it combines comfort with an iPad-style interface, standardising controls across the Fendt lineup. In addition, innovations like VarioGrip tire pressure management enhance productivity, saving diesel and increasing tractive power.
