ENGINE DETAIL
The Versatile 835 tractor is powered by a robust Cummins NT-855-A230 engine, featuring a substantial torque output of 800 lb-ft at 1400 RPM, ideal for heavy-duty tasks like plowing and hauling. Its high displacement of 14.0L coupled with a 14.1:1 compression ratio provides efficient fuel combustion, resulting in effective power delivery of 230 hp, although the engine may experience operational challenges at extreme idle RPMs due to broader RPM range. With a coolant capacity of 46 quarts, it is well-equipped for extensive operating hours, implying minimal downtime for engine overheating in demanding agricultural scenarios.
