Looking for parts for your Fendt Favorit 712 (Typ 712) tractor? In this category, you'll find everything you need for the maintenance and repair of your vehicle.
The Fendt Favorit 712 Vario was one of four models that launched the 700 Vario series in 1998. Between 1998 and 2003, a total of 3,160 units were built under the first generation (chassis number T 712.2.0), making it one of the more compact options in the mid-range class. The 712 sits just below the 714 in terms of output and was aimed at operations looking for a lighter tractor in the 125 hp segment.
The model went through three distinct generations:
The first two generations used the Deutz BF6M 2013C, a turbocharged six-cylinder diesel with a displacement of 5,702 cc. Rated power in the first generation was 125 hp, with a boost to 135 hp. From 2003 onward, the output range moved to 125–141 hp. Torque peaked at 565 Nm at 1,400 rpm.
From 2006, Fendt switched to the Deutz TCD 2012 L06 4V with a displacement of 6,057 cc. This engine features:
All generations use the Fendt Vario continuously variable transmission. The first generation came with the ML 110, which was replaced by the ML 130 from 2003 onwards. The same ML 130 was already standard in the 714 from the start, which is one of the main differences between the two models. The transmission includes:
The hydraulic output developed across generations. In the first generation (1998–2003), the pump delivered 78.5 litres per minute at 170 bar and 77.4 litres per minute at 204 bar. From 2003, this increased to 107.3 litres per minute at 200 bar and 93.8 litres per minute at 217 bar. From 2006, the pump delivers 110 litres per minute at 200 bar.
Rear lift capacity:
Front linkage lift capacity:
Standard equipment includes two double-acting control valves with cross-switch or joystick operation. Up to five double-acting control valves can be fitted as an option. All valves can also be used single-acting.
The rear PTO runs at 540, 540E, 750 and 1,000 rpm.
The front axle on the first generation is a ZF APL-2000 F6 load-switching pendulum drive axle with central driveshaft and level control. From 2003, Fendt switched to a Dana front axle. The axle is hydropneumatically suspended with a nitrogen membrane accumulator and can be locked. Four-wheel drive engagement and differential lock are automatically activated and deactivated depending on steering angle and road speed.
The 2006–2013 generation measures:
The integrated safety cab is soundproofed and vibration-dampened, with a measured interior noise level of 72 dB. It is tiltable and includes:
The Variotronic system manages rear linkage, PTO, hydraulics, four-wheel drive, differential lock, engine speed and cruise control from a single operating system. From 2003, the Varioterminal received a colour display and the Variotronic became ISOBUS-compatible.
A question that comes up regularly is how the 712 compares to the 714. The main differences are rated power (125 hp versus 140 hp), maximum permissible total weight (9,500 kg versus 11,000 kg) and lift capacity. Both models share the same Deutz BF6M 2013C engine block in the early generations, but with different tuning. The first-generation 712 used the ML 110 transmission, while the 714 was already equipped with the ML 130 from the start. In terms of dimensions, the 712 is slightly narrower at 2.43 m compared to 2.55 m for the 714.
