ENGINE DETAIL
The Versatile 450 tractor features a powerful Cummins QSX15 diesel engine providing a nominal power of 450hp, which can peak at 500hp, essential for demanding agricultural tasks. Its torque output of 1700 lb-ft at 1400 RPM offers excellent pulling power, making it suitable for heavy draft work. However, the integration of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) for Interim Tier IV emissions may introduce complexity in maintenance and potential regeneration cycles that operators need to manage carefully.
