Frame :: Axle :: Drawbar
Frame construction
The frame is manufactured from thick
high-grade steel plate to ensure struc-
tural integrity even under extreme
conditions. The main bearing at the
articulation point is larger than prior
models to enhance reliability. The
drawbar pull point on Buhler Versatile
four-wheel drives is immediately behind
the articulation point for maximum
pulling power and weight distribution.
outboard Planetary Axles
In the 1970’s Versatile engineers devel-
oped the outboard single reduction
planetary axle, known in the indus-
try for its strength, simplicity, ease of
service and wheel mounting. The tra-
dition of building the most reliable
planetary combination in the industry
starts with placing the planetary and
sun gears towards the outside of the
axle. Outboard planetary axles deliver
all available horsepower through a
large, precision machined floating sun
gear. The planetary hubs are suspended
on large diameter bearings mounted
directly to the axle tubes. The load is
supported by the axle assembly and
not by the drive train components. All
Buhler Versatile four-wheel drive trac-
tors feature reliable heavy-duty final
drives that deliver horsepower where it
counts: at the drawbar.
The drawbar pull point on Buhler Versatile four-wheel drives is
immediately behind the articulation point, which now features a large-
diameter pivot pin for maximum strength and durability. Models 305,
340, 375 and 400 feature a 2.36" (60 mm) pivot pin while the High
Horsepower Tractor Series have a 3.15" (80 mm) pivot pin.
