Big Bud guy Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Brochure for the Versatile D-118, G-125, and D-145. The 145 was very popular in my area and kind of a ground breaking tractor overall in the 4x4 industry.  They cost about much as a top of the line 2 wheel drive tractor contributing to their success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky to have saved a few over the years including this 1977 Versatile calendar showing some of their machinery available at the time.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillskinefarms Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Boy, that is one complicated hay rake. Having said that, my dad bought a Fahr 3ph corn chopper in 1977 and used it for several years. Not overbuilt but it was a pretty descent chopper for smaller acreages.

Loadstar Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 One of the more popular Versatile products in this part of Sask. was the 400 self propelled swather. I believe it was their first hydrostatic drive model. They sold a lot of these as well as the model 10 pull types. From a 1972 ad.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loadstar Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Probably one of the first four wheel drives International offered. I think this 4300 is scanned from my 1963 Buyers Guide.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
