Top marks in the field and on the road
The PowerMix test, according to DLG, consists of 14 test cycles that simulate various loads on the tractor and measure its fuel and AdBlue consumption, its output, and efficiency as the machine goes through the test cycle. They replicate typical field and transport applications – at half load and full load – such as pure draught work (e.g. ploughing or cultivating) but also mixed work that applies load on the transmission, the PTO and the hydraulic system. The Fendt 620 Vario came out on top for performance, efficiency and fuel consumption in the overall consumption, but also in the individual 14 test cycles.
Engine
The four-cylinder Agco Power CORE50 engine of the Fendt 620 Vario achieves a maximum output of 149.9kW/205hp at the PTO and a maximum torque of 885Nm at just 1,200rpm, according to measurements by the independent DLG test centre. At 245g/kWh (+ 29.3g/kWh AdBlue), the Fendt 620 Vario achieves the lowest diesel consumption in the 165hp to 240hp power class of all tractor models tested by the DLG to date. This corresponds to a lead of 11g/kWh compared to the previous best result and is, therefore, well below the average – 10-15 per cent – of the tractors tested in this power class. At the same time, with this result, the tractor is only 3g/kWh above the top score of the DLG PowerMix test for the Fendt 728 Vario from 2023, according to the company.

Road
The Fendt 620 Vario also achieves an absolute best result in the road transport test cycle. At 40km/h, it only consumes 309g/kWh of diesel (+ 34.9g/kWh AdBlue), which corresponds to an advantage of 40g/kWh compared to the previous best rating of 349g/kWh in this performance class. At a speed of 50km/h, the Fendt 620 Vario consumes 311g/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 50km/h at just 1,350rpm, resulting in low fuel consumption. This makes it the most economical of all tractors tested to date in the DLG PowerMix 2.0, according to Fendt.
The Fendt 620 Vario achieved top scores in the independent DLG PowerMix test.
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 309g/kWh consumption at 50km/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.”
