2 The new Fendt Variotronic a step ahead through innovation Fendt presents a completely newly developed, ground-breaking electronics concept: the Fendt Variotronic. The new Varioterminal has been optimally adapted to the Vario and offers more functionality and comfort than ever before. Fully integrated in the control concept, the new Varioterminal unites all functions in one. Thus, for the first time, tractor and implement control as well as all other functions, such as documentation or automatic steering, requires only one terminal in the tractor. Flat menu hierarchies, a clear display and well-thought out and easy handling ensure you have the controls that keep you a step ahead. 2

3 Fendt offers the new Varioterminal in two versions and sizes. Varioterminal 7" With a screen diagonal of 7 inches, the Varioterminal 7" is the handy and functional companion for tractor operations and Variotronic implement control. Varioterminal 10.4" The Varioterminal 10.4" fulfils all operator wishes. In addition to the tractor and Variotronic implement controls, now the external cameras, the new Fendt Vario automatic steering system and the VarioDoc documentation system can be controlled with just one terminal. Vario the new Fendt automatic steering system The new automatic steering system developed by Fendt offers a high degree of operational reliability and accuracy and is fully integrated in the Varioterminal 10.4". Profit from maximum operating comfort and decisive economical benefits. VarioDoc the Fendt documentation system Fendt VarioDoc is the time-saving documentation system for your operations and enables wireless transfer of data to your field database.

This, for example, really makes coupling implements much easier. When working with rear-mounted implements, it is not necessary to constantly turn around. In addition to comfort, this provides greater safety, since the camera allows you to look into blind areas. With Fendt Variotronic, Fendt presents a new generation of electronic controls. The Varioterminal 7" and the large Varioterminal 10.4" offer a convincing userfriendly interface with a flat menu hierarchy and practical touch technology. For the first time, the tractor controls, automatic steering system and documentation system, along with other functions, have been united in one terminal and can be controlled with the same operating logic. Keys or touch? The menu settings in the terminals, both the Varioterminal 7" and the Varioterminal 10.4", can be made conveniently using only the touch-sensitive screen. Both terminals also have navigation keys. You can navigate through the menus using either the keys or the touchscreen. The tractor controls on both terminals are identical. 4

5 Control via navigation keys or touchscreen Only one single operating logic for all applications Flat, multilingual menus and self-explanatory symbols for easy orientation Up to four applications can be displayed simultaneously (Varioterminal 10.4") Ergonomically located in the Variocentre No other terminal required, no obstruction of visibility High-resolution, scratch-proof screen with automatic brightness adjustment Electronic Operating Manual in Varioterminal Excellent workmanship and high quality Flat menus and everything in view When developing the Varioterminal, the focus was on a clear display and ease of operation. The result is an intuitive, multi-lingual menu with a flat hierarchy and a clutter-free display. Drivers quickly find their way around and have everything in view at once. The highresolution, scratch-free touchscreen automatically adjusts brightness and ensures optimum display both by day and night. Quality engineered by Fendt The entire Vario electronics concept was developed by Fendt and optimally tailored to customer needs. The components of the Varioterminal are also manufactured according to the motto "Made in Germany", so that you can be sure you are getting high quality, reliable electronics with the best workmanship. 5

6 Do everything with one terminal The Varioterminal 10.4" a terminal for all cases Despite the higher number of functions that are now completely integrated in the Varioterminal 10.4", operation remains easy and intuitive. The large screen with a 10.4 inch (26.4 cm) screen diagonal, guarantees easy recognition of up to four viewable application areas. A full screen mode is also available for map view, camera images and the ISOBUS implement control. Help ESC key Vorgewendemanagement Pflug STOP STOP STOP PLAY?

Headland Management Variotronic TI The new Variotronic TI headland management allows operators to create turning manoeuvres very easily, while the tractor is standing or driving, and then saves them for the specific implement. The entire operating sequence is shown along with the corresponding triggers and values, such as the seconds or the distance to the next step, which makes it easy for operators to understand the procedure. Individual steps in the operating sequence can be edited at a later time. You can choose between the 7" or 10.4" Varioterminal to match your needs. Both terminals offer easy to operate tractor and implement controls and the Variotronic TI headland management. The large terminal also allows you to operate the Vario automatic steering system featuring a clearly laid out map view, the VarioDoc documentation system and external camera images. ISOBUS (ISO 11783) compliant implement control In the new Varioterminal you can define individual settings for each ISO compliant implement as well as for several operators and save them under a custom name. Once configured, each individual setting can be loaded very easily and edited, if required. An additional terminal, which can obstruct your view and run up extra costs, is not necessary. 6

7 You can choose between the Varioterminal 7" or Varioterminal 10.4" to suit the intended use Both Varioterminals have the same operating logic Easy to use tractor and implement controls and a large memory capacity for all the settings Variotronic TI headland management allows you to create a new recording or edit operating sequences when the tractor is standing Varioterminal 10.4" Custom layout and display of up to four applications Map displayed with tracks and worked area Overview of button assignment for external joysticks Connections for two colour cameras Comfortable full screen view for camera, map and implement control is possible Variotronic TI headland management The Variotronic TI headland management is fully integrated in the Varioterminal and is shown clearly laid out in the display. With just a touch of a button, operators can activate automated operating sequences at the headlands. To optimise the progression of the steps, they can be edited and adjusted individually. Variotronic TI saves you time at the headlands and prevents possible operating errors on long work days.

8 Vario automatic steering right on track The greatest share of costs in arable farming can be attributed to variable costs. These are directly correlated to the area to be worked. With Vario, machines and implements can be utilised more effectively, which reduces variable costs for the crop inputs used. 19% Fixed costs For grain, the savings potential with Vario lies at up to four percent of the variable costs. Extrapolated to a market crop production business with 500 hectares (75% wheat and barley, 25% oilseed rape), this saves a total of some 8,000 euros per year (sources: KTBL) % Other variable costs Seeds Variable costs 10% 20% Pesticides % Fertiliser Winter wheat Barley Sugar beets Maize Variable costs ( /ha) Savings potential ( /ha) Faster turning manoeuvres, since fields can be cultivated bed-by-bed, and paths are found quickly and precisely. This is all possible with Vario, even under poor visibility conditions such as at night, in fog and dust or during pre-emergence work. When using Vario, operators can concentrate fully on the implements, since they are not occupied with steering the tractor. This increases operator performance and has a positive effect on the overall working quality. The new Vario steering system, developed by Fendt, guarantees maximum reliability thanks to new satellite technology. This means relaxed working conditions over longer periods of time, whether by day or night. It allows you to concentrate fully on the implement. Even when visibility is poor, precise driving is no a problem. That means shorter working times and lower consumption of fuel and inputs, such as seeds or pesticides. Vario even more profitable Vario enables the highest possible utilisation of the machine, because you can even work at night or when visibility is poor due to dust or fog, and still achieve an optimum result. At the same time, area coverage is significantly increased, since the number of skips and overlaps is reduced. The highly efficient use of crop inputs with Vario provides savings of up to three to ten percent, depending on the working procedure. 8

9 Reduced operator workload and significant increase in driving comfort Vario operating concept completely integrated in the automatic steering system High reliability through parallel use of GPS and GLONASS satellites Savings in seeds, fertiliser and pesticides Saves fuel and valuable working time Optimises machine utilisation Lowers repair costs through reduced implement wear Increases area coverage Reduces overlaps and skips Increases working quality Consistent performance under all visibility conditions day or night Enhanced driving comfort With Vario you not only work more profitably, but also benefit from clearly improved operator comfort. The tractor automatically drives in the right track, so operators can focus their attention fully on the actual work with the implement. Automated turning manoeuvres with the Variotronic TI headland management also reduce operator stress. Always connected Vario is operated using the Varioterminal and uses American GPS satellites as well as the Russian GLONASS satellite system and is also ready for use with the planned European Galileo system. The parallel use of several systems guarantees consistent high reliability of the automatic steering system. For bed-by-bed cultivation of your fields, several waylines can be saved per field. 9

10 Vario accuracy tailored to your needs Fendt Vario suits your individual requirements and manages almost any shape of field Vario Standard Ideal for work such as stubble management, spreading compost, applying slurry, rolling or mowing. Accuracy class: +/- 20 cm Correction signals: EGNOS (free of charge), OmniSTAR VBS (subscription required) With Vario Standard you have the choice between the free EGNOS correction signal and the subscription-based OmniSTAR VBS, which shines with superior reliability. The satellite-supported mode of operation allows you to profit from both correction signals wherever you work. Vario Precision Suitable for almost all kinds of farming applications, such as grain sowing (except for row crops) Accuracy class: +/- 5 cm Correction signal: OmniSTAR HP (subscription required) The decisive advantage of Vario Precision is the addition of grain sowing the areas of application. Just like Vario Standard, the signal offers full flexibility for businesses with changing working regions. Vario RTK and Vario Ntrip Offer the highest accuracy ideal for specialty crops. Accuracy class: +/- 2 cm Correction signals: Mobile RTK with a transmitting radius of 3-5 km, stationary RTK with a transmitter range of up to 30 km, Ntrip with mobile radio transmission With Vario RTK/Ntrip you can achieve the greatest accuracy and constant precision throughout the day and night The RTK station provides correction signals without requiring a subscription and covers a radius of up to five kilometres. This permits several vehicles to use the signals of just one RTK base station. With Ntrip, the signals are transmitted reliably through the mobile communications network, which guarantees high availability. In this way you can attain maximum accuracy, even when working in different regions. Easy to move and well protected The antenna unit can easily be transferred between Vario ready machines within minutes. The individual components, such as the antenna, receiver and roll bias compensation unit are accommodated in a compact housing unit and fully integrated in the roof. The antenna is therefore optimally protected against external influences such as blows from branches. Vario helps you perform field work efficiently, even on long working days. Vario is available in various accuracy levels to match the requirements of your operations. The modular design of the system allows updating to a higher accuracy level at any time. You can still continue to use the same system components and saved settings. Always on the right track In addition to the OmniSTAR correction signal and the mobile reference station with a range of up to three to five kilometres, there are also other correction signal services available: the free European signal EGNOS, a stationary RTK station with a transmitting capacity of up to 30 kilometres, as well as Ntrip with reception over a mobile communications network. This way you can put together the optimum signal to meet the requirements of your business. 10

11 The appropriate accuracy for each application Vario Standard Vario Precision Vario RTK and Vario Ntrip Compatible with many correction signals (satellite, radio, mobile communications network) Supports open correction signal protocols Cutting edge satellite and reception technology Automatic roll bias control Proportional valves for precise and gentle driving High reliability and constant signal Vario uses GPS satellites and the Russian GLONASS system and is already ready for the future European GALILEO satellite system. The Fendt automatic steering system also works with the latest receiver technology for all the signals. On the one hand, that guarantees exceptional reliability and accuracy, on the other, it almost completely prevents obstruction through trees or similar objects. Proportional valves for gentle steering The fast-responding proportional valves constantly deliver the oil volume that the terminal has specified. Driving into the track is so fast and precise The steering corrections are very sensitive in the track. Optimised tracking for the implement Operators can define the implement precisely in the terminal, the Vario automatic steering can be optimised for each implement. 11

12 VarioDoc and VarioDoc Pro The professional documentation system Easy documentation with VarioDoc or VarioDoc Pro VarioDoc ensures efficient job management for your business. The basic version is included in the Varioterminal 10.4" as standard. The enhanced version VarioDoc Pro also offers recording of position data via GPS, including tractor parameters, and data transfer via mobile network. Operators can also choose between automated data recording and job management. It is controlled using the VarioDoc menu in the Varioterminal. All data are displayed concisely and easy to understand.

Bothersome exporting of data with a memory card is no longer required. Data loss is therefore a thing of the past. Documentation is the most important basis for economic analyses in agricultural businesses today. The legal and social requirements for recording data are also growing ever more. With the new VarioDoc, this data can be recorded with a minimum of effort and time, documented in the field record and analysed. Modern job management VarioDoc is the solution for efficient job management and convenient data recording for farming businesses and contractors. Using the Varioterminal, all relevant information can already be entered in the field so that followup work in the office is reduced to a minimum. And it works the other way around, too new jobs can be created using the PC and transferred to the terminal. 12

13 Fully integrated in the Vario control concept Data can be entered immediately on-location Fast and easy transfer into the field record file Open ISOXML standard for data transfer with field database files from different manufacturers Secure data exchange Just one single synchronisation procedure is all that is needed to update data on both the PC and terminal. Then you have all the current master data, such as on pesticide or fertiliser use, available on board and you can react to changing conditions swiftly. Convenient data exchange via Bluetooth or mobile communications network guarantees a secure transfer. Jobs are saved in the terminal until the exchange has been completely finished. Compatible with several field databases The open ISOXML Standard enables data exchange with field files from suppliers such as BASF, Helm, Land-Data Eurosoft and agrocom. Fendt is therefore the first to offer a documentation system that is compatible with several different field database files. 13
