ENGINE DETAIL
The Versatile 520 tractor features a robust Cummins QSX15 engine offering high-powered performance with a rated power of 520hp and maximum power of 572hp at 1800 RPM, making it suitable for demanding agricultural tasks. Its impressive torque of 1700 lb-ft at 1400 RPM enables superior pulling capacity for heavy implements, but its weight and size may pose maneuverability challenges in smaller fields. Additionally, meeting Tier IV emissions standards enhances environmental compliance, although it may involve higher maintenance costs due to more complex exhaust after-treatment systems.
