Legendary Fendt Vario Gen6 to be discontinued
During Easter, German agricultural machinery manufacturer „Fendt“ has announced that production of its legendary tractor, the 700 Series „Fendt Vario Gen6“, will be coming to an end soon.
Although no exact date has been announced for the end of production, experts believe it will happen around the first half of 2026. According to German media reports, fans of the tractor have the opportunity to purchase models of the „Fendt Vario Gen6“ series at an attractive sale price, but it is difficult to say how service and spare parts will be handled at a later date.
The Fendt 700 Gen6“ tractor range has been a real success. It is highlighted that the „Fendt 724 Vario Gen6“ alone has been an outstanding success in Germany in terms of the number of tractors manufactured and sold. In 2020–2023, the country had the highest number of sales. In 2024, the manufacturer replaced this model with the „Fendt 728 Vario Gen7“.
The sixth generation of the „Fendt 700 Vario“ series was produced from 2020 onwards and included six models – 714 Vario (144 hp), 716 (163 hp), 718 (181 hp), 720 (201 hp), 722 (223 hp) and 724 Vario (237 hp).
The Fendt 724 Vario Gen6 has been the most popular model in this series. It has topped the list of new tractor registrations several times. Since its launch in 2020, the 724 Vario Gen6 has been the best-selling tractor model in Germany in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. In 2024, it was finally replaced by the Fendt 728 Vario Gen7.
Only the more powerful Gen6 series, with power outputs ranging from 201 hp to 237 hp, has been transferred to the new Gen7 series.
