Introduction
Versatile 9280 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor
The Versatile 9280 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor produced between 1994 and 1995 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Distributed by New Holland, this articulated machine was engineered for large-scale agricultural operations requiring significant traction and power.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Cummins LT10-A, a 10.0-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with 24 valves. It delivers a rated power output of 250 hp (186.4 kW) at 2100 RPM. The engine produces 844 lb-ft (1144.5 Nm) of torque at 1300 RPM, providing the necessary lugging capacity for heavy tillage and draft work.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 9280 features the Quadra-Sync transmission system, which provides 12 forward and 4 reverse gears. This partially synchronized transmission utilizes a hydraulic wet disc clutch and is configured with four synchronized gears across three ranges, plus a dedicated reverse range, allowing for efficient speed management in the field.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, load-sensing design operating at 2500 psi. It provides a pump flow of 25 gpm (94.6 lpm) for implements, with a dedicated 27 gpm (102.2 lpm) flow for the articulated power steering. The rear hitch is a Category IVN type, equipped with electronic position control and a lift capacity of 12,753 lbs (5784 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Chassis and Dimensions
Built on an articulated chassis, the tractor has a wheelbase of 133.1 inches (338 cm) and rides on 20.8x38 tires. The operating weight varies, with a shipping weight of 23,190 lbs (10,518 kg) and a maximum rated weight of 28,000 lbs (12,700 kg). The machine is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes and a standard cab featuring integrated air conditioning.
Conclusion
The Versatile 9280 is a robust, high-horsepower tractor tailored for demanding field tasks such as deep tillage, heavy hauling, and large-acreage cultivation. Its combination of a high-torque Cummins engine and a load-sensing hydraulic system makes it a reliable asset for agricultural professionals.
