Fendt 936 Vario or New Holland T 8050?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Fendt 936 Vario: maximum permissible mass. It is also ahead on top speed.
- The Fendt 936 Vario suits road haulage better on this data: 14% (2,000 kg / 4,409 lb) more maximum permissible mass and 20% (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 Fendt 936 Vario has 14% higher maximum permissible mass (2,000 kg / 4,409 lb) than the New Holland T 8050 (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 936 Vario has 20% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the New Holland T 8050 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Fendt 936 Vario is stepless (CVT) and the New Holland T 8050 has 19 to 23 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.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, three-point lift, a creeper range and PTO independence.
