ENGINE DETAIL
The Versatile 276 tractor features a robust Cummins 4-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 3.9L, delivering 116.7hp and 282lb-ft of torque at 1500 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its 23.2-quart coolant capacity ensures effective thermal management, which is crucial for maintaining performance during extended operations. However, the aftercooled system may require more maintenance, and its torque characteristics favor low-RPM applications, making it ideal for plowing and tillage.
