Looks pretty cool. I will have to get that one for sure. I have been wanting some Versatiles. I would rather have one of the ones with the 855 cummins instead of the 903 though. it is still cool though.

I'm glad its coming out. I was going to buy one from Masten or a model close to it they offer. It will look nice in my collection. Display, the possibility is there as well.

Looks great but I will wait and see what the 64th version looks like before buying one.

YEAH!!!!!! I was wondering how long it was going to take to get one made. This opens up a MASSIVE area for models. There is a pant load of variations to be made on this chassis. SWEEET! That is a huge suprise after the slight let down of last years.

I was more along the lines hoping for a 900 when they finally did a versatile. But this will be a welcomed model IMO

Steigers and Versatiles are essentailly the same. Outsourced engines, transmissions, interior components, axles, and some other things.
They built frames, cabs, hoods, and assembled the tractors.
Versatile is out of Canada, Steiger is out of North Dakota.
Same thing just different.

From what I been told, Versatile is just as good as Steiger. A very good Canada counterpart to the American tractor. I heard they are easy to work/service on. And hold up well. Unless it had one of those V8 Cummins that was known to cause problems. But that was on Cummins, not Versatile.
Even though I don't know much on this brand. But they have my respect. So I collect what I get and don't mind a chance to display them.

Ok, it wasn't that great. But they made a ton of power.  |

However I know one farm ran an Oliver 2255 for many years of service. With no major engine issues. Also he ran a NH combine TR70 with one. Once again many years of no major issues. |

it also depends on if you get a monday or friday machine lke our last jd 4730 sprayer just as soon as it left the ard it either had the booms brake or hose (either oil or product line) split
can be as simple as that
