Description

Versatile was the first company to mass produce articulated fourwheel drive tractors, starting back in 1966. With more than five decades of continuous tractor production, Versatile tractors are designed to be simple to operate and easy to maintain and service.

Known around the world for durability and reliability, Versatile four-wheel drives use industry-leading suppliers to ensure the best performance with the least amount of downtime. Cummins is the exclusive engine supplier for Versatile, a successful partnership that has been growing for nearly 50 years. 

THE REASONS WHY!

• Simple to operate, easy to service and maintain
• Highly efficient and robust drawbar pull
• Cummins engine, CAT transmission
• Largest cab in the industry (Suspended cab optional)
• Heavy-duty frame
• Commercial components sourced from industry-leading companies

Simple to use

• Proven outboard planetary axles allow for easy service and extended life.
• Tractor control functions are intuitive and important information is understandable at a glance.
• Common controls between tractor models.
• User-friendly design means less training, reduced chance for error resulting in higher profitability.

Efficient drawbar pull

• Well ballasted tractor design.
• Powertrain designed for efficient engine-to-ground power transfer.
• CAT V drawbar has a 15000 lbs (6804 kg) vertical load capacity.
• Drawbar pull from the center of the tractor maximizes the transfer of power to the ground.

Transmission and engine

Engine

• Industry-leading power bulge and torque rise.
• Variable Geometry Turbo for fast response and power on demand.

Transmission

• 40-80% larger in size and weight than the competition.
• Programmable transmission settings.
• Quick, smooth auto-modulated shifting when needed.

Largest cab in the industry

• Excellent 360 degree visibility.
• Available heated and ventilated seat.
• Directional heating/cooling vents.
• Easy to read displays.
• Intuitive controls.

Heavy-duty frame

• Designed to excel in all work environments.
• Operator confidence in the toughest jobs.
• Unmatched ground clearance.

Common components

• The use of high quality components provide peace of mind that each system is reliable.
• High quality components have been proven to last longer with less risk of failure.
• Individual systems and operations mean the tractor is more serviceable, reducing downtime and repair costs.

Low commodity prices

Maximizing profits is not only about yield, it goes all the way through the farming process including operational costs. Versatile tractors maximize pulling power at a lower RPM due to torque rise and power bulge, resulting in more efficient operation and reduced fuel consumption. Versatile offers competitive prices with excellent resale value. 

Limited farm labour available

It can be difficult finding farm labour these days, so when you do, you want to know that they can quickly adapt to the job at hand. Versatile tractors minimize the learning curve for new users with logical, reliable controls that are simple to operate.

It takes less time to train new staff on tractor function and operation. Daily maintenance is easy with accessible service points and sight gauges. 

Larger farms have to get more work done in shorter time frames

Other than weather and commodity prices, one of the biggest concerns for modern agriculture operations is efficiency. Versatile tractors are known world-wide for durability and reliability due to the use of common components and design simplicity, resulting in less downtime. Daily and regular maintenance can be completed in a fraction of the time because of this design simplicity.

The power and torque from the Cummins engine and enhancements to the Versatile powertrain mean peak performance at lower RPM’s, resulting in more efficient operation and a reduction in operating costs.
