| A couple of things that made farmers go with Versy rather than someone else...
The Versatiles had a longstanding relationship with Cummins and they had solid, efficient, reliable engines designed and rated to perform in ag applications. The Steigers, on the other hand, were unpredictable year-to year as to who would supply the engines.
One other coffee shop [and farm shop] comment was that the Versy was much easier to service... both minor and major repairs were just more convenient to do on the red ones. The farm I grew up on never owned a Green Steiger or Red Versy, so my comments are one step removed from actual owners.
The first 4WD's bought for our place were from Winnipeg, but were Blue... Ford, then New Holland. Both had very reliable Cummins power, but the 350 Hp NH had a weak manual trans [Okubo] that dinged us for $15K+ at under 5000 hours. Never again.
You guys who owned either or both of the old green Monsters or Red Versy tractors... comments on cab comfort, reliability, longevity... Whaddya say??? | |
