VERSATILE 2240 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Versatile 2240 tractor is powered by a robust Cummins C8.3 turbocharged diesel engine, offering a displacement of 8.3 liters, which delivers 240 hp at 2100 RPM, providing ample power for heavy-duty applications. Key advantages include high torque, efficient fuel combustion due to a 16.5:1 compression ratio, and liquid cooling for optimal engine temperature regulation. However, the tractor's weight and size may limit maneuverability in tight spaces, making it most suitable for open-field operations or large farms.

TRANSMISSION
The Versatile 2240's QuadShift III transmission offers a partially synchronized system with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, providing an effective gear range for varying field conditions. Its design of four synchronized gears across three ranges allows for smoother shifts and optimal power delivery when operating in different environments. One potential challenge may be the learning curve for new operators to effectively use the gear selections for maximum efficiency in diverse agricultural tasks.
