Buhler Industries, a Canadian-owned
farm equipment manufacturer, pur-
chased the Winnipeg four-wheel drive
plant from New Holland and in 2001
the Versatile name returned. Buhler
Versatile continued to build the 2000
Series four-wheel drive (240 to 425
horsepower) and launched the High
Horsepower Tractor Series in 2004.
With 435, 485 and 535 horsepower it
was the highest-horsepower four-wheel
drive available in North America.
Buhler celebrated 40 Years of Versa-
tile tractor production in 2006 and
commemorated 50,000 Versatile-
Built four-wheel drives in late 2007.
At the same time, Combine Factory
Rostselmash Ltd., a Russian combine
manufacturer, purchased Buhler Indus-
tries with plans of increasing the global
presence of Buhler Versatile four-wheel
drive tractors. The Versatile name
continues, known worldwide for reli-
ability, durability and ease of service and
maintenance.
