MODEL 425
It all began with the engine; Cummins, the exclusive engine supplier to Versatile, outlined the path to achieving T4 emission standards. The project initiated a new cab and operator environment, emphasizing visibility, operator comfort, and convenience. Caterpillar was enlisted to provide a full range of Powershift transmissions. The focus on new styling aimed to improve visibility and serve as a design model for future Versatile tractors, all while maintaining the reputation that Versatile four-wheel drives have carried since 1966.
The outcome is a new Versatile four-wheel drive designed to enhance the profitability of large-scale farming operations and compete globally, upholding the Versatile cornerstones of reliability, durability, and ease of service and maintenance.
