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. 

"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.

Safe Harbor Statement

Statements that are not historical facts, including the projections of earnings per share, production levels, sales, industry demand, market conditions, commodity prices, currency translation, farm income levels, margin levels, strategy, investments in product and technology development, new product introductions, restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives, production volumes, tax rates and general economic conditions, are forwardlooking and subject to risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the statements. The following are among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.

• Our financial results depend entirely upon the agricultural industry. Factors that adversely affect the agricultural industry, including declines in the general economy, adverse weather, tariffs, increases in farm input costs, lower commodity prices, lower farm income and changes in the availability of credit for our retail customers, will adversely affect us.
• We maintain an independent dealer and distribution network in the markets where we sell products. The financial and operational capabilities of our dealers and distributors are critical to our ability to compete in these markets. Higher inventory levels at our dealers and high utilization of dealer credit limits could negatively impact future sales and adversely impact our performance.
• We recently announced the proposed acquisition of the ag assets and technologies of Trimble through the formation of a joint venture of which we will own 85%. This is a substantial acquisition for us, and it will require us to incur substantial indebtedness. All acquisitions involve risk, and there is no certainty that this acquisition will close, that we will be able to obtain the desired financing, that our increased leverage will not adversely impact our remaining business, or that the acquired business will operate as expected following closing. Each of these items, as well as similar acquisition-related items, would adversely impact our performance.
• A majority of our sales and manufacturing takes place outside the United States, and many of our sales involve products that are manufactured in one country and sold in a different country. As a result, we are exposed to risks related to foreign laws, taxes and tariffs, trade restrictions, economic conditions, labor supply and relations, political conditions and governmental policies. These risks may delay or reduce our realization of value from our international operations. Among these risks are the uncertain consequences of Brexit and tariffs imposed on exports to and imports from China.
• We cannot predict or control the impact of the conflict in Ukraine on our business. Already it has resulted in reduced sales in Ukraine as farmers have experienced economic distress, difficulties in harvesting and delivering their products, as well as general uncertainty. There is a potential for natural gas shortages, as well as shortages in other energy sources, throughout Europe, which could negatively impact our production in Europe both directly and through interrupting the supply of parts and components that we use. It is unclear how long these conditions will continue, or whether they will worsen, and what the ultimate impact on our performance will be. In addition, AGCO sells products in, and purchases parts and components from, other regions where there could be hostilities. Any hostilities likely would adversely impact our performance.
• Most retail sales of the products that we manufacture are financed, either by our joint ventures with Rabobank or by a bank or other private lender. Our joint ventures with Rabobank, which are controlled by Rabobank and are dependent upon Rabobank for financing as well, finance approximately 50% of the retail sales of our tractors and combines in the markets where the joint ventures operate. Any difficulty by Rabobank to continue to provide that financing, or any business decision by Rabobank as the controlling member not to fund the business or particular aspects of it (for example, a particular country or region), would require the joint ventures to find other sources of financing (which may be difficult to obtain), or us to find another source of retail financing for our customers, or our customers would be required to utilize other retail financing providers. As a result of the recent economic downturn, financing for capital equipment purchases generally has become more difficult in certain regions and in some cases, can be expensive to obtain. To the extent that financing is not available or available only at unattractive prices, our sales would be negatively impacted. In addition, Rabobank also is the lead lender in our revolving credit facility and term loans and for many years has been an important financing partner for us. Any interruption or other challenges in that relationship would require us to obtain alternative financing, which could be difficult.
• Both AGCO and our finance joint ventures have substantial accounts receivable from dealers and end customers, and we would be adversely impacted if the collectability of these receivables was less than optimal; this collectability is dependent upon the financial strength of the farm industry, which in turn is dependent upon the general economy and commodity prices, as well as several of the other factors listed in this section.
• We have experienced substantial and sustained volatility with respect to currency exchange rate and interest rate changes, which can adversely affect our reported results of operations and the competitiveness of our products.
• Our success depends on the introduction of new products, particularly engines that comply with emission requirements and sustainable smart farming technology, which require substantial expenditures; there is no certainty that we can develop the necessary technology or that the technology that we develop will be attractive to farmers or available at competitive prices.
• Our expansion plans in emerging markets, including establishing a greater manufacturing and marketing presence and growing our use of component suppliers, could entail significant risks.
• Our business increasingly is subject to regulations relating to privacy and data protection, and if we violate any of those regulations, or otherwise are the victim of a cyberattack, we could be subject to significant claims, penalties and damages.
• Attacks through ransomware and other means are rapidly increasing, and in May 2022 we learned that we had been subject to a cyberattack. We continue to review and improve our safeguards to minimize our exposure to future attacks. However, there always will be the potential of the risk that a cyberattack will be successful and will disrupt our business, either through shutting down our operations, destroying data, exfiltrating data or otherwise.
• We depend on suppliers for components, parts and raw materials for our products, and any failure by our suppliers to provide products as needed, or by us to promptly address supplier issues, will adversely impact our ability to timely and efficiently manufacture and sell products. Recently suppliers of several key parts and components have not been able to meet our demand and we have had to decrease our production levels. In addition, the potential of natural gas shortages in Europe, as well as predicted overall shortages in other energy sources, could also negatively impact our production and that of our supply chain in the future. It is unclear when these supply chain disruptions will be restored or what the ultimate impact on production, and consequently sales, will be.
• Any increase in COVID-19, or other future pandemics, could negatively impact our business through reduced sales, facilities closures, higher absentee rates, and reduced production at both our plants and the plants that supply us with parts and components. In addition, logistical and transportation-related issues and similar problems may also arise.
• We recently have experienced significant inflation in a range of costs, including for parts and components, shipping, and energy. While we have been able to pass along most of those costs through increased prices, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so. If we are not, it will adversely impact our performance.
• We face significant competition, and if we are unable to compete successfully against other agricultural equipment manufacturers, we would lose customers and our net sales and performance would decline.
• We have a substantial amount of indebtedness (and will incur additional indebtedness as part of the Trimble transaction), and, as a result, we are subject to certain restrictive covenants and payment obligations that may adversely affect our ability to operate and expand our business.
