Its compact 4-cylinder engine delivers high torque and fuel efficiency, while the proven Vario gearbox gives you seamless control at any speed. Whether you’re running a dairy operation, contracting, or mixed cropping, the 500 Vario keeps up with the pace of Kiwi farming.

Smart Farming Made Simple

With FendtONE, planning and fieldwork come together. Operators can set tasks in the office and carry them out in the cab with a few taps. Add optional modules like Section Control or Variable Rate Control and you’ll save on inputs while protecting your soils. It’s future-proof technology that grows with your business.

Comfort That Works as Hard as You Do

The VisioPlus cab gives you clear visibility and quiet comfort, with controls laid out intuitively so even multiple operators can jump in and work productively. Pneumatic suspension and vibration damping make long days smoother, while smart storage and infotainment options keep the cab practical.
