Overview
The Versatile MFWD Tractors are industry leading, full-featured tractors with almost 20 years of field proven performance. Available with 190 or 220 hp, the Versatile MFWD Tractors are powered by the Cummins QSB 6.7L engine that delivers a combination of power, economy and performance. The Cummins QSB engine is matched to a smooth shifting six by four powershift transmission.
Engine
The Versatile MFWD 190 and 220 are powered by the Cummins QSB 6.7-liter engine. Cummins is the exclusive engine supplier across the entire range of Versatile tractors. Engineers from both companies worked together to ensure seamless integration of the engine with the transmission and electronics.
The Cummins QSB 6.7-liter is a market leader in horsepower and torque. This turbocharged engine, with electronic controlled high-pressure common-rail injection, offers smooth power delivery and fast engine response with less vibration. In addition this model is excellent for cold starting ability with an integral air inlet heater.
The QSB 6.7-liter combines productivity and power with fuel efficiency. Using Cummins advanced in-cylinder technology, the QSB maintains performance, dependability and durability while operating cleanly and efficiently. Advanced electronics enhance engine performance, with better torque and faster throttle response. The Cummins QSB 6.7-liter has a history of reliability and durability in the agriculture industry, known for its cold start ability and smooth operation, including less engine noise and vibration which means less operator fatigue.
Transmission
Geared for peak operation in the field, the 6 x 4 powershift transmission includes the features that farmers want from a tractor in this class.
Upshifting and downshifting is simple with push button powershifts in each range. The left-hand shuttle shift makes changing directions even easier, particularly when the tractor is equipped with a front-end loader. The Versatile 190 and 220 are designed to work the way you want to. Both models are equipped with a 6 x 4 powershift transmission. An innovative design that features large helical cut case hardened gears on roller bearings ensures the assembly is durable, smooth and quiet.
Hydraulics
Modern implements require more flow from the hydraulic system, constant speed from the power take-off and load-bearing capacity at the drawbar. The Versatile 190 and 220 have been designed to handle these rigorous demands.
The closed center load sensing hydraulic system provides ample capacity for implements that demand high hydraulic flow by providing pressure and flow on demand. When no hydraulic power is required, the system goes into low-pressure standby to conserve energy, providing more power at the drawbar. The Versatile 190 and 220 have a total hydraulic flow of 30 gpm (114 L/min). Four remote valves are standard.
PTO / Hitch
The 190-220 series’ high torque output puts the power where you need it most; at the ground. The 190 and 220 offer the pulling power required for field work, without compromising fuel economy.
The fully-independent PTO features multi-plate, friction clutches for smooth, shock free implement starting. Both models come standard with 540/1000 dual speed PTO. Changing the speed is done by changing the stub shaft and selecting you speed using a rocker switch on the cab console.
The drawbar is equipped with an auto hitch pin that will automatically drop in place when hitching up implements. When backing up the tractor to attach an implement, the implement hitch will contact the release strap and the pin then drops automatically into place, without the operator having to leave the cab, or without the need of a second operator. The heavy-duty, swinging drawbar with hammerstrap may be fixed in any of three lateral positions or allowed to swing the full width of the hanger.
Axle
The 190 & 220 have an integrated transaxle to increase the efficiency and operation of the transmission and PTO. A double reduction planetary drive delivers more torque to the ground and improves the overall efficiency of the tractor.
Versatile 190 and 220 tractors are available with either 2WD or front wheel assist tractors. The heavy-duty cast iron rear axle housing with a massive crown and pinion gear set, drive a heavy-duty inboard planetary axle. This gives efficient speed reduction from the transmission to the ground. Utilizing this technology, the Versatile 190 & 220 pulls above its class, by taking advantage of the power delivered to the ground.
Cab
Farmers will recognize the cab, which is still one of the best in class. Ergonomically designed, the console is uncluttered and easy to use. The dash is straightforward, making it easy to check vital information at a glance. Dual access doors, a comfortable air-ride seat, and tilt and telescoping steering complete the interior package.
Two doors access the clean, quiet and ergonomically correct cab interior. The cab is designed for excellent visibility to all interior and exterior tractor functions.
An efficient climate control system keeps the operator environment clean and dust free. A full length, vertically-mounted grab bar and inside door grab bar, provide extra convenience and safety when entering or exiting the cab. The door-mounted grab bars also make it easy to open or close the door from the seat.
A tilt / telescopic steering control is standard equipment on all Versatile tractors. A gas cylinder gently raises the steering column to the uppermost position when the lock is released, leaving a wide space between the steering column and seat for easy entry and exit.
Controls
The Versatile MFWD Tractors combine operator comfort and function. The information center, located on the center console, features large digital gauges. The most important information is prominently displayed and easy to understand with just a glance.
Coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level and battery meter are all indicated on bar-graph gauges. The console is designed to minimize glare, while being well-lit for night time operation.
To closely monitor the performance of the tractor and implement, the tractor performance monitor is located in the lower-right corner of the information center and provides information on actual ground speed and slip percentage with optional radar.
Options
Versatile tractors are well-equipped with the standard features most-requested by farmers. Additional options are available to customize the tractor for the requirements of your farm.
HID lights have proven themselves to be very useful in agriculture operations. There’s never enough hours of daylight and HID lighting provides up to ten times more light than conventional headlights. Known for casting a blue hue, an HID light kit is available as a front and rear package.
A Category III 3-point hitch comes standard on Versatile models 190 and 220. The hitch is capable of lifting 12,500 lb (5680 kg).
Service
There are never enough hours in the day and every minute counts. That’s why all Versatile tractors are designed with easy serviceability in mind. Routine service can extend the life of your tractor, minimize downtime and lower your operating costs.
Versatile factory trained dealer service technicians are up to date with the latest repair technology. Efficient troubleshooting by trained professionals provides timely service support that minimizes your downtime.
Engine filters are easily accessible on the right side of the engine. The filters are vertically mounted spin-on type for quick, clean service.
The large, standard fuel tanks hold a total of 105 U.S. gallons (400 L) of fuel. This large fuel capacity provides long hours of hard working performance between refuelings. Both tanks fill from one location just in front of the cab on the left side of the tractor. The big, single-element air filter is mounted above the engine and is easy to reach. An aspirated precleaner at the rear of the air-cleaner housing extends service intervals of the filter in even the dirtiest conditions.
