Introduction
Versatile 265 Row-Crop Tractor
The Versatile 265 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor manufactured in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, by Versatile, a division of Rostselmash. Designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations, this model represents the manufacturer's engineering focus on durability and pulling performance.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder Cummins QSL9 turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine. With a displacement of 8.9 liters, it produces a nominal power of 260 hp (193.9 kW) and a maximum power output of 296 hp (220.7 kW). The engine is tuned to deliver a peak torque of 945 lb-ft (1281.4 Nm) at 1500 RPM, providing consistent lugging ability under load.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Power is transferred to the ground through a powershift transmission featuring 16 forward and 4 reverse gears. The machine is configured with a four-wheel drive system and power steering, ensuring traction and maneuverability in field environments.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center load-sensing architecture. It provides a standard pump flow of 55 gpm (208.2 lpm) at a pressure of 2900 psi, with an optional Hi-Flow system capable of reaching 75 gpm. The tractor is equipped with a Category III/IIIN rear hitch offering a lift capacity of 18,850 lbs (8,550 kg), and a rear PTO providing both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The tractor features a wheelbase of 124.6 inches (316 cm) and an overall length of 252 inches (640 cm). Its base weight is 23,945 lbs (10,861 kg), with a maximum rated weight of 27,510 lbs (12,478 kg). The operator station consists of a standard cab integrated with air-conditioning to support extended work hours.
Conclusion
