VERSATILE 550DT POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Versatile 550DT tractor features a high-displacement Cummins QSX15 engine, providing robust power (550 hp) and impressive torque (2050 lb-ft) at low RPM (1400), making it suitable for heavy-duty applications such as plowing or towing. Its Interim Tier IV emissions compliance through EGR and DPF systems may present challenges in maintaining emissions performance, especially in varying operational conditions. The electric starter system enhances reliability, but the substantial weight from the 14.9L engine may affect maneuverability in tighter spaces.
