Additional Notes

  • The Fendt 500 Vario COM3b cooling system capacity is 31 liters across all listed configurations, covering the 512, 513, 514, and 516 Vario variants. A 31-liter figure is consistent with large agricultural tractor cooling systems, where the circuit includes the engine block, cylinder head, radiator, and associated hoses and reservoirs.
  • Both the Tier 3b / EPA 4i and Stage IIIb / EPA 4i emission variants share the same 31-liter cooling system capacity for each model number, indicating no difference in coolant volume between the two regulatory classifications within a given model.
  • The check interval for the cooling system is set at every 10 hours of operation under normal use conditions. A 10-hour check interval is among the shortest in typical tractor service schedules and reflects the importance of monitoring coolant level frequently during regular operation.
  • The coolant change interval is specified at 2000 hours or 24 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions. The dual-trigger format means calendar time can mandate a change even when the hour threshold has not been reached, which is relevant for machines with lower annual utilization.
  • All eight configurations listed, spanning the 512, 513, 514, and 516 Vario in both Profi/ProfiPlus and Stage IIIb trim levels, share identical check and change intervals of 10 hours and 2000 hours/24 months respectively. No variation in service timing exists across these configurations.
  • The emission designation Tier 3b / EPA 4i refers to North American EPA Tier 4 interim standards, while Stage IIIb refers to the equivalent European Union off-road emissions regulation. Both represent the same generation of emissions compliance, which explains the alignment in cooling system specifications between the two variants.
