Introduction
Versatile 936 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor
The Versatile 936 is a high-horsepower four-wheel drive tractor produced between 1985 and 1988 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine focuses on heavy-duty traction and high-capacity field performance.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder, 14.0-liter Cummins turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine. It generates 310 horsepower at 2100 rated RPM and produces 975 lb-ft of torque at 1400 RPM. The liquid-cooled engine utilizes a dual dry element air cleaner to maintain performance in dusty field conditions. Power is transferred to the wheels through a choice of either a 12-speed constant mesh transmission or a 12-speed full power shift transmission.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center, load-sensing design providing a pump flow of 24.5 gpm and a dedicated steering flow of 26.1 gpm, both operating at 2400 psi. The system includes 4 to 5 valves to manage various implements. The rear hitch is configured as Category IVN/III, capable of supporting a lift capacity of 21,700 lbs at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Mechanical and Dimensions
Built on a 130-inch wheelbase, the tractor measures 260 inches in length and 139 inches in height to the top of the exhaust. Maneuverability is assisted by hydraulic power steering, while stopping power is provided by hydraulic disc brakes. The final drives utilize an outboard planetary design to handle the high torque output of the drivetrain. The tractor comes standard with an air-conditioned cab.
Conclusion
The Versatile 936 is engineered for heavy-duty primary tillage and large-acreage cultivation. Its combination of high-torque displacement and robust hydraulic capabilities makes it a suitable choice for operations requiring significant pulling power and implement control.
