Introduction

Versatile 9480 4WD Tractor

The Versatile 9480 is a high-horsepower four-wheel drive tractor produced between 1994 and 1995 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine focuses on high-torque output and heavy traction capabilities.

Engine and Powertrain

The tractor is powered by a Cummins NTA855-A 14.0-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine, producing 300 horsepower. It delivers a peak torque of 1,035 lb-ft at 1,400 RPM. Power is transmitted through either a Quadra-Sync partially synchronized transmission with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, or an optional Twin Disc full power shift transmission with 12 forward and 2 reverse gears.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center load-sensing configuration with a pump flow capacity of 30 gpm and a system pressure of 2,500 psi. The rear hitch is a category IVN type, featuring electronic position control with a lift capacity of 12,753 lbs measured at 24 inches behind the lift point.
