  • In this video I am in Northern Illinois and out in the field with a NICE Versatile 936 Tractor pulling a Krause 9 shank Dominator. In the video I show the tractor inside and out then fly my drone as I run the equipment out in the field.
    This is some footage I had from October 21, 2021 and just got around to editing it for my UA-cam Channel. I have lots of unedited video footage to go through so you never know what may pop up in future videos.

    From the age when tractors were tractors and the men were proper Ag Operators, no Autosteer, Def, Foot pegs or Computer Screens marvellous footage and a real find.

      ​@@aidencrawford3487 i would say by now it doesn't matter what age someone are. If a farm has modern equipments, it most likely need autosteer and tons of sensors with lots of wires need to wired in for each equipment. But aside from all that it pays off at the end.

    Dad had a 976 Versatile, just like that one. It was a awesome tractor, reliable, efficient and a joy to run. Had too much power for the weight, it liked to power hop. Loved it. Thanks for bringing back the memory.

    Super CLEAN Tractor for around 7,500 or So Hours! I was Shocked at How Well it pulled that 9 Shank Close Spacing Dominator with No Rear Weights, those units can be a Tough Pull.
    Can’t Beat the Looks on Late 80’s and 90’s Versatile & Steiger 4wd’s!

      So was I but closer space chisels and rippers pull easier and this must’ve been the mixed ripper/chisel shank version so it’ll definitely be easier than the ripper only version

    Great video, as always, I love being a subscriber to your channel. For what it's worth, this is imho the best video you have shared to date, ever. We've had exclusively Versatile 4WD's on our farm since 1970, before I was born, though we haven't had a Des. 6 Versatile on our farm for 20 years now. I spent innumerable hours on a Versatile colored 976 haha. It was so very great the way you offered a detailed description and view of the interior of the cab before setting out, and your description throughout the video makes this video your best ever, imho. If any manufacturer ever made a "bulletproof" tractor, it would be Versatile's 835, 855, 875, 895 (which we still repaint and run on our farm to this day), and the Des. 6 Series shown here. Hello to you and all reading this from this southern Alberta farmer.

    That 936 Versy has been really taken care of ! We had an 846 ,Red and Yellow , with the blue Ford hood emblem. Then traded for a blue 9280, Then a 435, now a 485 . We have only had one major repair on our Versatiles since 1987- we pulled the12 speed trans out of our 485 and had to replace the Mid range gear cluster...

    Hi Mike - always enjoy your videos - great machinery choices and excellent footage, whether from the ground or drone.
    I recently spotted a Fiat/Versatile 44-28 articulated tractor here in the UK, and wondered what specific Versatile tractor model it was based on - 875 perhaps ?
    Also, as you are well versed in all things Versatile related, can you tell me whose Drive Axles they fitted - Clarke, Rockwell or some other brand ?
    I note that you have now left Versatile - is this due to the recent sale by Buhler, to an overseas manufacturer ?

    Auto steer is nice and has advantages. But i think that every operater should be able to run it with out it and not have to have it to be able to hold a straight line. You did a fine job of keeping a straight line and flying the drone at the same time. Impressive. Thanks for all the great videos brother.

    • @farmhandmike
      @farmhandmike  Рік тому +1

      Thanks, I agree of course when I started out there was no such thing has auto steer. Pick something in the distance and drive towards it to make your first line and off you go. Then of course you may get a curve and have to do a correction pass to straighten it back up. But it was hard not to overlap without guidance when working ground. At least for me and anyone who said they were not overlapping was probably fibbing.

    So the Ford Emblem, did they Make a 936 Blue? When did Ford buy and sell Versatile?

    • @farmhandmike
      @farmhandmike  Рік тому +1

      I don't believe there was ever a blue 936 but there was a blue 946 which I think replaced the 936. It's also my understanding the Ford logo was only on the 936 on the last year of production so I'm guessing Ford bought Versatile in 1988 or so.

      I'm still with Deutz Fahr. I filmed this video in 2021 and this dealer sells both Versatile and Deutz Fahr. Going forward I will still be doing videos with Versatile tractors if it works out. My channel doesn't discriminate against any brands of equipment lol. Also I work for Power Farming Group (PFG) who is the Deutz Fahr distributor in the USA with an office in Atlanta Georgia. PFG's home base is in New Zealand and they are the Deutz Fahr and Versatile distributor in New Zealand and Australia. They also carry many other lines of equipment in that part of the world so I still have some ties to the Versatile brand.
