ENGINE DETAIL

The Versatile 380 tractor is powered by a robust Cummins QSG12 engine, offering high torque (1350 lb-ft) at a lower RPM (1400), which enhances pulling power for heavy-duty applications. Its Tier IV emissions compliance indicates a commitment to reduced pollutants, beneficial for operations in environmentally sensitive areas. However, with a substantial displacement of 11.8L and a peak power of 415hp, consider fuel efficiency and maintenance costs, particularly in intensive agricultural settings.

VERSATILE 380 ENGINE

The Versatile 380 tractor is powered by a robust Cummins 11.8L 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing strong torque and high horsepower for demanding agricultural tasks. Its large 250-gallon fuel tank enables extended operational periods, reducing downtime for refueling, while the 25-gallon exhaust fluid tank supports compliance with Tier 4 emissions standards. However, the significant weight of the tractor combined with its large fuel capacity may affect maneuverability in tight spaces or uneven terrain.
