The top model in the Fendt 600 Vario series, the Fendt 620 Vario, achieved top scores in the independent DLG PowerMix Test for performance, efficiency and fuel consumption in the overall consumption, but also in the individual 14 test cycles.
The 4-cylinder AGCO Power CORE50 engine of the Fendt 620 Vario achieves a maximum output of 149.9 kW / 205 hp at the PTO and a maximum torque of 885 Nm at just 1,200 rpm, according to measurements by the independent DLG Test Centre. At 245 g/kWh (+ 29.3 g/kWh AdBlue) , the Fendt 620 Vario achieves the lowest diesel consumption in the 165 to 240 hp* power class of all tractor models tested by the DLG to date. This corresponds to a lead of 11 g/kWh compared to the previous best result and is therefore well below the average of the tractors tested in this power class. This means that "the Fendt is on average over 10-15% more economical than all previous test candidates in mixed work and in the partial load range" concludes profi magazine in its practical report (6/2025).
At the same time, with this result, the tractor is only 3 g/kWh above the top score of the DLG PowerMix test for the Fendt 728 Vario from 2023. Profi writes about the consumption at nominal speed and corresponding power as well as maximum speed: "In terms of diesel consumption, the 620 has inherited a lot from its big brother 728 (profi 2/24): 229 g/kWh (+ 23.8 g/kWh AdBlue) at nominal speed and 221 g/kWh (+ 25 g/kWh) means efficiency." These low consumption rates confirm the efficient interaction between VarioDrive drive, the Fendt iD low-speed concept and the overall concept of the Fendt 600 Vario series, which is designed for efficiency.
The Fendt 620 Vario also achieves an absolute best result in the road transport test cycle. At 40 km/h, it only consumes 309 g/kWh of diesel (+ 34.9 g/kWh AdBlue), which corresponds to an advantage of 40 g/kWh compared to the previous best rating of 349 g/kWh in this performance class. At a speed of 50 km/h, the Fendt 620 Vario consumes 311 g/kWh (+35.8 g/kWh AdBlue) and is therefore significantly more economical than the average of the tractors tested to date. During transport, the Fendt 620 Vario reaches its top speed of 50 km/h at just 1,350 rpm, resulting in low fuel consumption. This makes it the most economical of all tractors tested to date in the DLG PowerMix 2.0.
Other features such as the comprehensive chassis and safety concept with hydraulic auxiliary brake, the suspension front axle and the pneumatically suspended cab, the trailer brake assistant and the automatic parking brake further characterise the machine as a transport talent.
More about the Fendt 600 Vario
"The Fendt 620 Vario has everything farmers need: compact dimensions, high manoeuvrability, efficiency and particularly low diesel consumption. In its performance class, the Fendt 620 Vario achieves the lowest diesel consumption measured - both for field work and transport," says Roland Schmidt, Vice President Fendt Marketing. "With only 309 g/kWh consumption at 50 km/h, our Fendt 620 Vario sets a new benchmark in efficiency, but is also easy on the farmer's wallet, because using less operating resources pays off after a short time and is also sustainable."
About the DLG PowerMix test
In the PowerMix Test 2.0 of the German Agricultural Society (DLG), tractors are tested for their fuel and Adblue consumption under typical workloads on a roller test bench to determine their energy efficiency. In addition to 12 work cycles in the field, such as pulling work with a plough or cultivator, PTO and mixed work, the tractor's efficiency is also measured in two work cycles during transport work on the road. The report in profi 6/2025 uses the DLG PowerMix test results.
