Fendt has unveiled its new 1100 Vario MT tracked tractor at EIMA 2026 in Bologna, Italy. The company states that the new addition is the culmination of more than 30 years of developing tracked vehicles.

Four variants are available from launch: 1151 Vario MT; 1156 Vario MT; 1162 Vario MT; and the 1167 Vario MT.

All models use the MAN D38 15.2-liter six-cylinder engine; that is aside from the range-topping 1167 Vario MT which uses the MAN D42 16.2-liter six-cylinder model. Power output at 1,700 rpm ranges from 380 kW/517 hp through to 500 kW/680 hp. Figures were verified under ECE R 120 engine regulations.

All models use the TA 400T transmission which can deliver a top forward speed of 40 km/h (1,550 rpm). Max speed in reverse is 14 km/h.

Exhaust aftertreatment includes DOC, DPF, SCR and an exhaust gas recirculation system.

The width of the MTS crawler track is 224 mm. Tractors are fitted with the Standard AG tracks, with the option of Extreme AG versions. The SmartRide suspension system is used for controlling the track carriers. SmartRide+ adds a level control system for constant suspension travel in both directions.

Rear power take off can be operated at 1000/1000E, with the second option a lower-power choice for lighter work which can save on fuel and reduce exhaust and noise emissions.

A hydraulically swivelling drawbar and rear power lift system can move the pivot point closer the tractor’s natural center of gravity, improving steering performance when towing an implement. It also helps to reduce wear and fuel consumption.
