Introduction
Versatile 2240 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor
The Versatile 2240 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor produced between 2002 and 2003 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Part of the 2270 series, this machine is engineered for large-scale agricultural operations requiring significant traction and power.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, six-cylinder Cummins C8.3 turbocharged diesel engine. With a displacement of 8.3 liters and a compression ratio of 16.5:1, the engine delivers 240 horsepower (179.0 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. This power plant provides the torque necessary for demanding field work.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Equipped with the QuadShift III transmission, the 2240 offers 12 forward and 4 reverse gears. The system features four synchronized gears across three ranges, allowing for versatile speed control. The tractor utilizes articulated power steering and outboard planetary final drives to manage power delivery to all four wheels.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, load-sensing type providing a pump flow of 45 gpm (170.3 lpm) at a pressure of 2900 psi (200.0 bar). It includes four valves to support various implements. The rear hitch is configured as a Category IVN/III system with a lift capacity of 13,000 lbs (5,896 kg).
Operator Environment and PTO
The tractor comes standard with an air-conditioned cab designed for operator comfort during long shifts. The power take-off (PTO) is an independent system featuring a 1000 RPM (1.75-inch shaft) output, engaged via an electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch.
Conclusion
The Versatile 2240 is a robust 4WD tractor designed for high-horsepower applications. Its combination of a reliable Cummins engine, a multi-range transmission, and a high-capacity load-sensing hydraulic system makes it a suitable choice for heavy tillage and large-scale farming tasks.
