Introduction
Buhler Versatile 2180 Row-Crop Tractor
The Buhler Versatile 2180 is a row-crop tractor produced between 2000 and 2008 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Part of the manufacturer's high-horsepower lineup, this machine is engineered for intensive agricultural operations requiring significant traction and hydraulic capability.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 7.5-liter, 6-cylinder New Holland Genesis turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers 260 horsepower at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. The engine utilizes an electronic fuel injection system and is liquid-cooled, featuring a dual-element air cleaner to maintain performance in dusty field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 2180 offers flexible transmission options, featuring either a 16-speed or 18-speed full power shift configuration manufactured by Funk. Both options include electro-hydraulic wet disc clutches, allowing for seamless gear changes under load without the need for a traditional clutch pedal.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with a closed-center load-sensing hydraulic system, the tractor provides a standard total flow of 30 gallons per minute at 2900 psi. This system manages three or four remote valves. The rear Category III hitch features electronic draft sensing, providing a lift capacity of 12,500 lbs to handle heavy implements.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The machine features a standard cab equipped with air conditioning as a factory specification. With a wheelbase of 118.3 inches and a total operating weight of 19,205 lbs, the tractor is balanced for stability. It is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations to suit various soil conditions.
Conclusion
The Buhler Versatile 2180 is a robust, high-capacity tractor designed for large-scale row-crop farming. Its combination of a reliable New Holland Genesis engine, versatile power shift transmissions, and a high-flow hydraulic system makes it suitable for heavy-duty cultivation, planting, and transport tasks.
