Additional Notes

  • The Fendt 1000 Vario gen2 AdBlue system is classified as a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, which is an exhaust aftertreatment technology that injects diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust stream to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions.
  • All four variants covered by the specifications — the 1038 Vario (WAM536), 1042 Vario (WAM537), 1046 Vario (WAM538), and 1050 Vario (WAM539) — share an identical AdBlue tank capacity of 84 liters.
  • An 84-liter AdBlue capacity is notably large relative to many agricultural machines, which is consistent with the high-horsepower demands of the 1000 Vario series and the correspondingly higher DEF consumption rates at elevated engine loads.
  • The 84-liter figure represents the total tank capacity of the SCR reservoir, not a service fill or partial refill quantity, meaning actual refill volumes in practice will vary depending on the level of fluid remaining at the time of service.
  • All four variants carry the same capacity specification under normal use conditions, indicating no differentiation in AdBlue tank size across the power variants within the 2020 generation of the series.
