VERSATILE 975 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Versatile 975 tractor features a robust Cummins NTA-855-A360 engine, providing a substantial power output of 360hp at 2100 RPM, ideal for demanding agricultural applications. Its large displacement of 14.0L ensures efficient fuel combustion and lower emissions, while the aftercooled turbocharging enhances performance and responsiveness under load. However, operators should consider the significant oil (42 qt) and coolant (61 qt) capacities, as they may lead to increased maintenance intervals and costs.

VERSATILE 975 TIRES
The Versatile 975 tractor is equipped with large 30.5x32 front and versatile rear tire options (30.5x32, 18.4x38, or 20.8x38), providing excellent flotation and traction in various soil conditions, making it suitable for demanding field operations. The wider tire options allow for better weight distribution, reducing soil compaction while improving overall stability during heavy load tasks. However, careful selection of tire sizes based on specific farming applications is crucial to optimize performance and prevent potential issues with compatibility in narrower row crop scenarios.
