Terra Variant 600 eco
The Terra VariantEfficiency through power
Whether field logistics or spreading of agricultural fertilizer: with its sufficient power reserves, Terra Variant, being the most powerful carrier vehicle world-wide, is ideally suited to cope with any situation.
Large-volume tires, offset track drive, enormous traction and an exceptional transport volume not only improve process output but also enhance gentle soil treatment alike.
Maximum impact along with optimum operating comfort make the Terra Variant the preferred vehicle for professional use.
The vehiclefor several applications.
Zunhammer slurry equipment
Welcome to the professional league: more than just a machine - the Terra Variant concept
The Terra Variant with the proven ZUNHAMMER Gülletechnik equipment for semi-liquid manure: The most powerful answer to the challenges of today's and tomorrow's agriculture. No matter whether mineral fertilizer prices are rising, spreading and environmental protection measures are subject to ever stricter regulations or the resultant shortening of processing periods in spreading manure - the Terra Variant saves driving cycles and operations, thus reducing costs involved in crop production. In conjunction with individually combinable attachments, the Terra Variant applies valuable manure to crops or on stubbles in an efficient, environmentally compatible way which is also gentle on the soil.
Speed thanks to optimum semi-liquid manure flow:
Short distances and optimum pipe diameters are characteristic for the Terra Variant. A specially adapted guide system for the intake line (10”) minimizes pressure loss within the system. Extremely short intake times are achieved in conjunction with the powerful rotary pump. All the piping on the pressure side has been designed for maximum dosing accuracy in 8” diameter. Two hydraulic gate-valves and the integrated three-way cock switch between the functions "Filling tanker", "Transferring" and "Spreading".
Advantages:
- Intake pipe pivotal laterally through 170°, 18’8” long – for a maximum transfer overreach
- All the important features are accessible via joystick - for ergonomic operation
- Filling shut-off automatically - to ensure clean working
- Intake of fluid at idle speed - to save fuel
- Intake pipe with automatic folding feature - to facilitate the operator's work optimally
- Precise, fully automatic control of spreading rate - for precise spreading results
- Task Controller incl. job management – for automatic recording
- Prepared for ZUNHAMMER VAN-Control – for precise recording of nutrients
Manure spreading
BERGMANN Universal Spreader
Whether spreading compost, solid manure, separated digestates or sludge, high-quality solid fertilizers need to be spread precisely. With the BERGMANN spreader superstructure, the Terra Variant combines impact and soil protection to spread a wide variation of media.
Benefits:
- Large loading volume
- High working Speeds
- Conical full-steel containers
- Precise spreading
- Work widths up to 98 feet
Field Logistic
Harvesting machines must work increasingly more efficient in shorter windows of time. Transfer times due to emptying the grain or the beet tank need to be reduced. For the sake of modern field logistics, HOLMER has developed special holding tanks for the Terra Variant. Harvested crops are transferred using these holding tanks, directly from the combine, forage harvester or sugar-beet harvester, and transported to the edge of the field in a manner that protects the soil.
Under optimal harvesting conditions, harvesting takes place non-stop while the Terra Variant handles field logistics.
Benefits:
- Improve lifting and threshing performance
- Increase the annual capacity of the harvesting machines
- Soil-protecting transport of harvested volumes
- Minimize deep tracks and multi-pass effect
- Reduces tillage costs
- High unloading performance
- HOLMER swap system
Seed spreading & soil treatment
HOLMER VTU 19
Variable applications – specialized uses. With the VTU 19 transport superstructure, HOLMER is responding to growing demands in the area of fertilizer incorporation. In the two separate 335 ft³ halves of the tank, the VTU carries seeds and/or fertilizer for planting, strip tillage or incorporation. The high tractive output of the Terra Variant allows large work areas to be covered. The high transport capacity secures efficient machine usage through short loading times and long utilization times.
Benefits:
- Precise mineral fertilizer incorporation
- Efficient fertilizer application
- Customized fertilizer blends possible
- Reduces the number of passes
The conceptfor maximum output.

Engine – Gearbox – Chassisfor efficient power transfer.
- 598 HP (440 kW) Mercedes Benz engine – for maximum performance
- Tier 4i exhaust gas level with SCR technology ensures minimum exhaust emission
- Automotive driving for fuel saving and optimal facilitation of the operator's workload
Power reserves for any task
Utilizing fuel in a way that makes sense: Automotive driving provides two driving strategies which are optimally adapted to the requirements in question, facilitating the operator's workload at the same time.
- Eco Mode: The Terra Variant automatically selects the optimum gear in accordance with the power required.
- Fixed speed: The driver is able to define individual gears and to save the engine speeds for every gear.
Driving comfort as core competence
Efficient power transmission and maximum traction: The proven FUNK DF 500 powershift gearbox with 18 forward and 6 reversing speeds provides you with the perfect gear for every application.
Safety coupled with constantly high driving comfort: this is what the special HOLMER front axle suspension with hillside compensators and automatic leveling ensures. With a wheelbase of 18’10” , in conjunction with the wide Terra tires, the Terra Variant masters slopes without any issues while maximizing driving stability.
- Fully automatic, progressively variable leveling
- Adjustable spring setting
- Floating axle for adaptation to the terrain
- Full suspension comfort also on slopes
- Adjustable hillside pressure compensator

Chassis conceptSoil preservation in all situations.
Diagonal steer prevents soil from being driven over several times, helping the Terra Variant to avoid damaging soil compaction. Diagonal steer in conjunction with the wide Terra tires saves the soil by rolling over each part of the soil only once.
Various steering modes
- All-wheel steering for maximum maneuverability
- Diagonal steer, left-hand/right-hand, to ensure a wide wheel base, and stable driving characteristics on lateral slopes;
- Manual steering to steer the rear axle independently via joystick
- Roadwork mode – ensuring a high level of driving safety in public road traffic thanks to the hydraulic connection between the front and rear axles
Three-point mountkeeps its promises
Designed specifically for professional spreading of semi-liquid manure: the fully hydraulically pivoting rear three-point of the Terra Variant meets the highest testing standards.
The three-point mount which is suspended on the main frame via a pivot cylinder arranged transversely at the bottom features fully automatic pivoting. All the connection points between the vehicle and the attachment are always in a straight line of traction thanks to the fully pivoting frame, even in diagonal steer mode.
- Three-point mount, category IV – for professionals
- 5 double-acting control units – for absolute flexibility
- Load-Sensing and Power-Beyond – to ensure optimum oil supply
- Three-point down pressure as standard feature for injection of semi-liquid manure into growing crop
- Adjustable freewheeling of three-point mount - to reduce wear
