Fendt 722 Vario or Renault Atles 926 RZ?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 722 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Atles 926 RZ has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt 722 Vario suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Renault Atles 926 RZ is 23% heavier (1,790 kg / 3,946 lb) than the Fendt 722 Vario (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 722 Vario has 25% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Renault Atles 926 RZ (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 722 Vario is newer: production began 10 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Fendt 722 Vario is stepless (CVT) and the Renault Atles 926 RZ has 18 to 36 forward gears — not called.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 722 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Atles 926 RZ has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 722 Vario: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt 722 Vario”); the Atles 926 RZ: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Renault Atles 926 RZ”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
