Additional Notes

  • The Fendt 500 Vario Gen3 AdBlue system is classified as a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, which is an emissions control technology that injects a urea-based fluid into the exhaust stream to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions.
  • All four variants covered in the specifications — the 512 Vario, 513 Vario, 514 Vario, and 516 Vario — share an identical AdBlue tank capacity of 31 liters.
  • A 31-liter AdBlue capacity is a substantial reservoir for agricultural equipment, reflecting the extended field operation cycles typical of tractors in this power class.
  • All capacity figures are recorded under normal use conditions, meaning the 31-liter value applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or specialty service scenarios.
  • The uniformity of the 31-liter capacity across the 512, 513, 514, and 516 Vario variants indicates a shared tank design within the Gen3 platform, regardless of individual power output differences between models.
