Introduction
Versatile 9680: High-Capacity Articulated 4WD Tractor
The Versatile 9680 is a heavy-duty articulated four-wheel-drive tractor produced between 1994 and 1995. Engineered for demanding broad-acre agricultural operations, this machine represents the high-horsepower segment of the Versatile lineup during the mid-1990s.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Cummins NTA855-A engine, a 14.0-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged and aftercooled diesel unit. It produces 350 horsepower (261.0 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. The engine delivers significant torque, peaking at 1164 lb-ft (1578.4 Nm), providing the necessary lugging power for heavy tillage and large-scale implement operation.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Operators have access to two transmission configurations: a Quadra-Sync partially synchronized manual transmission offering 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, or a Twin Disc full power shift transmission with 12 forward and 2 reverse gears. Both options utilize a hydraulic wet disc clutch to manage power delivery to the four-wheel-drive system, which features outboard planetary final drives for durability.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center, load-sensing design capable of delivering a flow rate of 30 gpm (113.6 lpm) at 2500 psi. This configuration ensures efficient power delivery to external implements. The rear hitch is a Category IVN type, equipped with electronic position control, and capable of lifting up to 13,036 lbs (5913 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The 9680 is built on a 133.1-inch wheelbase with an articulated chassis design to facilitate steering. The standard operator station includes a factory-installed cab with air conditioning. The machine has a base shipping weight of 25,198 lbs, which can be ballasted up to a maximum weight of 36,000 lbs to optimize traction.
Conclusion
The Versatile 9680 is a robust, high-performance tractor designed for large-scale farming enterprises requiring significant drawbar power and implement compatibility. Its combination of a proven Cummins engine and heavy-duty drivetrain makes it a reliable choice for primary tillage and heavy field applications.
