• The design of the suspension on the 500 Vario enables maximum ride comfort in the field and on the road. The combination of front axle suspension, cab suspension and seat suspension, which provide a driving sensation on par with passenger cars, was adopted from the high-horsepower tractors.

• The front axle, which has a suspension system as standard, enables high payloads along with the best ride comfort. The +/ 50 mm suspension travel, absorbs uneven surfaces very well. The swing angle of 8 ensures stability while driving. The 52 steering angle of the front axle guarantees maximum manoeuvrability.

• Stepless speed adjustment provides enormous savings potential in time and money. In the 500 Vario, the continuously variable transmission ensures high drive train efficiency. The Tractor Management System TMS keeps the tractor operating at an economic optimum. Operators only need to specify the desired speed and the activated TMS takes control over the engine and transmission. That means efficiency, fully automatically.

• The driving mode can be individually and freely selected depending on the area of application. Operators can select the pedal mode and control the speed of the tractor with their foot. The alternative is joystick control with up to four different acceleration rates./li>
