VERSATILE'S new DeltaTrack tractor range was 10 years in the making. The four-track series offers models from 343kW (460hp) to 462kW (620hp).
Canadian manufacturer, Buhler Versatile, said the DeltaTrack had been an instant hit in the North American market.
Within 24 hours of its release the company said it had received three times the amount of orders it expected.
Handling Versatile sales for PFG Australia, Allan Muirhead helped gather input from local farmers during the development of the DeltaTrack.
“This machine is what farmers have been waiting for and it’s already proved its worth in overseas markets,” he said.
“With tracks, there’s no avenue for stress release and this is where some of our competitors have had problems, but the DeltaTrack has heavy-duty components, an exceptionally large gearbox and one of the biggest engines in the market.
“A farmer, comparing DeltaTrack with other brands, told me 70 per cent of its appeal is the simplicity.
“You get a straightforward, no frills machine with a reliable fully-integrated modular design and components tough enough for the work,” he said.
The DeltaTrack is fitted with 15-litre Cummins engine and a heavy-duty CAT TA22 powershift transmission with 16 forward and four reverse gears.
The track system uses Versatile’s outboard planetary system to maximise power to the ground.
An integrated track undercarriage mounting system includes a reinforced connection to the tractor frame, reducing stress on the undercarriage and track components.
As well as the DeltaTrack series, the new Versatile range includes a front wheel assist series, 4WD standard and large frame articulated models.
