Additional Notes

  • The Fendt 1000 Vario Gen3 AdBlue system is identified in the specifications as a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, which is an emissions control 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, 1042 Vario, 1046 Vario, and 1050 Vario — share an identical AdBlue tank capacity of 84 liters under normal use conditions.
  • An 84-liter AdBlue capacity is notably large relative to many agricultural and commercial vehicle applications, reflecting the extended field operation cycles typical of high-horsepower tractors where frequent refilling would be impractical.
  • The capacity figure of 84 liters represents a service fill value, meaning the usable tank volume available between refills during normal operation rather than a system overhaul or dry-fill measurement.
  • The normal use condition designation applies uniformly across all four 2022 variants, meaning the 84-liter capacity specification is tied to standard operating conditions rather than a severe or first-change-only scenario.
