Winnipeg-based Versatile continues to offer six wheeled and three tracked Delta Track versions of its articulated four-wheel drive tractors. The wheeled models span the 405 to 620 horsepower range, with the three smallest tractors getting power from an X12 Cummins. While the three largest tractors in the series, which includes the three Delta Track models, get an X15 Cummins.
Behind those Cummins diesels is a Caterpillar 16 X 4 powershift transmission. The X12 mates to the TA19 Caterpillar, and the X15 routes power through a larger TA22. All use the brand’s trademark outboard planetary final drives for ease of maintenance and durability.
Versatile four-wheel drives are equipped with a standard 53 g.p.m. (201 l/m) pump or an optional 106 g.p.m. (401 l/m) high flow hydraulic system. Six rear half-inch hydraulic remotes are standard with two additional, optional three-quarter inch types available. Flow rates can be varied through the in-cab monitor.
Two cab comfort packages are available, the Deluxe and Deluxe Pro, which includes upgrading the monitor from the standard 10-inch to a 12-inch. Three different lighting packages allow for upgrades from a 14 halogen package to 19 LED and 2 halogen with a total output of 47,500 lumens.
Farther down the horsepower line, three of the brand’s MFWD tractors top 300 horsepower, the 315, 335 and 365. As Versatile’s long-standing exclusive engine supplier, there are Cummins engines under the hoods of these tractors too. This time a QSL9 mated to a 16 X 9 powershift for all five tractors in the series. All have a total hydraulic flow of 55 g.p.m. (208 l/m), or 72 g.p.m. (272 l/m) with the optional hi-flow hydraulic system.
To make hooking up to implements a one-person job, the drawbars on MFWD tractors are equipped with an auto hitch pin that will automatically drop into place when hitches line up.
For 2022 models and beyond, Versatile offers an advanced telematics system that now coordinates data from both the tractor and Cummins engines, offering advanced diagnosis and remote machine management functions. Operators can now receive engine diagnostic messages and real-time alerts on a single dashboard.
In 2022 Cummins and Versatile jointly announced they are working together to develop a hydrogen-fuelled high horsepower tractor using a modified version of the Cummins X15 engine. No word yet on when that might become available.
