The Fendt 516 Vario and the Fendt 716 Vario are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Fendt 716 Vario leads on rated power with 167 hp against 163 hp. Fendt 516 Vario is the lighter machine (6,400 kg vs 6,604 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Fendt 716 Vario holds more fuel (339.9 L vs 298 L) for longer stints between fills. Fendt 516 Vario is the newer design (2024 vs 2006). In short: choose the Fendt 716 Vario for outright pulling power, or the Fendt 516 Vario if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
