BUHLER VERSATILE 305 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Buhler Versatile 305 is powered by a Cummins QSM11 diesel engine, providing robust performance with 305 hp and a substantial torque output of 1050 lb-ft at 1400 RPM, enabling effective heavy-duty applications such as tilling and hauling. Its large displacement of 10.8 L supports durability and efficiency, though its oil and coolant capacities of 38.8 qts and 58 qts, respectively, necessitate regular maintenance schedules to avoid overheating and ensure optimal operation. This tractor is ideal for large-scale farming operations, but potential challenges may include higher fuel consumption due to its powerful engine characteristics.
