ENGINE DETAIL
The Versatile 220 tractor is equipped with a robust Cummins QSB turbocharged diesel engine, providing 220 hp and notable torque of 700 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications such as plowing or towing. Its Tier III emissions compliance meets regulatory standards while benefiting from efficient performance due to air-to-air aftercooling, enhancing engine longevity and efficiency. However, operators should take into account maintenance practices for the oil and coolant capacities (15 qts and 27.5 qts, respectively) to ensure optimal operation and minimize downtime.

VERSATILE 220 ENGINE
The Versatile 220 tractor is powered by a robust Cummins 6.7L 6-cylinder diesel engine, delivering reliable performance and fuel efficiency. Its high torque output is beneficial for heavy-duty tasks such as plowing and hauling, while the engine's durability ensures minimal maintenance requirements. However, with a 220 HP rating, it may be less suitable for lighter tasks or tight maneuvering in confined spaces, necessitating careful application consideration.

TRANSMISSION
The Versatile 220 tractor's four-speed power shift transmission offers 24 forward and reverse gears, providing flexibility for various field conditions. This configuration allows for precise control over speed and torque, enhancing productivity during tasks like plowing or tilling. However, operators may require additional training to efficiently manage the push-button shifting system, particularly in complex terrains.

| Gears | 24 forward and reverse |
| Description | Four push-button power shift gears in six ranges |
MECHANICAL
The Versatile 220 tractor offers a versatile 4WD system, allowing for enhanced traction and stability in various terrains, which is ideal for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. The inboard planetary final drives provide efficient torque distribution, reducing wear and tear and improving durability. With a hydrostatic power steering system and a 24-speed transmission, it delivers responsive maneuverability and operational flexibility, but may require more maintenance due to its complexity compared to simpler systems.

VERSATILE 220 TIRES
The Versatile 220 tractor, equipped with Ag front tires (14.9R28) and Ag rear tires (18.4R42), offers a robust tire configuration for enhanced traction and stability in field operations. The larger rear tires improve flotation and weight distribution, making it suitable for heavier field work and reducing soil compaction. However, users should consider potential challenges in maneuverability in tighter spaces due to the wider rear stance.
