Overview

The Versatile 485 is an articulated 4WD tractor designed for heavy-duty agricultural applications. It is powered by a Cummins QSX15 turbocharged and air-to-air aftercooled diesel engine that delivers 485 horsepower and a substantial torque of 1650 lb-ft at 1400 RPM. The tractor features a choice of transmissions: a 12-speed partially synchronized or a 16-speed full power shift, with the latter provided by Caterpillar. It has hydrostatic power steering and operates on large 710/70R42 agricultural tires both front and rear, ensuring stable traction on varying terrains. The tractor affords an operator station equipped with a cab, enhancing comfort during long working hours. The hydraulic system is a closed center load sensing type with a pump flow capacity of 55 gallons per minute, and it offers multiple remote control valves. With its significant operating weight of over 48,000 lbs and a wheelbase of 154 inches, the Versatile 485 is well-suited for heavy field work.
