Versatile describes their tractors as focused on power, durability and reliability. According to the company, their high horsepower 4WD tractors from 305 to 535 hp feature proven Cummins engines, durable transmissions and spacious cab environments, and they are built to serve the farm for many years.
The Cummins QSM 11-litre six-cylinder engine powers the Versatile 305, 440, 375 and 400 models, with the 15-litre Cummins QSX six-cylinder in the Versatile 435, 485 and 535. With a 35 per cent torque rise at 1,400 r.p.m., peak horsepower is boosted, elevating the 535 for example to 570 hp. These tractors offer a choice in gear boxes between a mechanical 12×4 synchronized transmission and a CAT TA22 Powershift transmission with 16 forward gears and four reverse speeds, and eight gears in the field working range.
A key feature of the HHT lineup is the outboard planetary axle design developed by Versatile engineers. The planetary and sun gears are placed toward the end of the axle, with the planetary hubs suspended on large diameter bearings mounted directly on the axle tubes.
