TO THE OWNER:
This manual contains information concerning the operation, adjustment, and maintenance of Buhler Versatile
4WD tractors. You have purchased a dependable machine, but only by proper care and operation can you
expect to receive the performance and long service built into this tractor. HAVE ALL OPERATORS READ
THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY AND KEEP IT AVAILABLE FOR READY REFERENCE.
The tractor was designed to pull agricultural equipment in agricultural applications at field speeds of 7.2 KPH
(4.5 MPH) or greater. Proper ballasting to provide equal traction to front and rear axles under moderate to
heavy load will improve tractor performance and life. Using the tractor in industrial only applications (ie. road
building) will not be covered by warranty.
Your Buhler Versatile dealer will instruct you in the general operation of your tractor. Your dealer’s staff of facto-
ry-trained service technicians will be glad to answer any questions that may arise regarding the operation of
your tractor.
For engine maintenance not covered in this manual, follow the instructions provided in the Cummins Engine
Operator’s manual. Before putting the tractor in service, become familiar with the procedures outlined in both
manuals.
The warranty coverage that is extended to your Buhler Versatile 4WD tractor is explained in the Warranty and
Limitation of Liability form. Your dealer will provide you with a copy of the warranty and retain a copy which you
have signed. After you read the warranty, ask your dealer to explain any points that you may not understand.
Do not modify, alter, or permit anyone else to modify or alter this tractor or any of its components, or any tractor
function, without first consulting an authorized Buhler Versatile dealer. If you have any questions regarding
tractor modifications, contact Buhler Versatile Inc., 1260 Clarence Ave. Winnipeg MB, R3T 1T2.
Your safety, and the safety of those around you depends upon the care and good judgement you use while
operating this equipment. Read the safety precautions carefully.
For a complete list of the delivery service checks performed by your dealer, refer to the Delivery Report in this
manual. The first copy is your record of the service performed and the second copy, which is to be removed
from the manual, is your dealer’s record. MAKE SURE THAT YOU AND THE DEALER SIGN BOTH COPIES.
After you have operated the tractor for 50 hours, have your dealer perform the factory recommended 50-hour
service. Return this manual with your tractor to the dealer so the “First 50-Hour Service” checklist can be filled
out. You will be responsible for the cost of lubricants, fluids, filters and other items replaced as part of normal
maintenance. Prior to taking the tractor to your selling dealer for service, it is recommended that you contact
them to determine any other charges for which you may be responsible.
All data given in this book is subject to production model variations. Dimensions and weights are approxima-
tions only, and the illustrations do not necessarily show tractors in standard condition. For exact information
about any particular tractor, please consult your Buhler Versatile dealer.
