  • Versatile Ag was the first company to mass-produce articulated four-wheel-drive tractors.
    This father and son from Manitoba, Canada wanted to collect and restore something a little different. They decided to buy a classic D118 Versatile tractor, which was built in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada from 1967 to 1971. Many early Versatile tractors are still in use today, a testament to their quality build and design. The D118 would have cost you $15,500 US dollars in 1970 or about $103,215 US dollars in 2019. Father and Son share their passion for Versatile tractors and the story behind their 1970 D118.

    Wagner of Portland, Oregon started producing their 4-wheel drive articulated tractors in 1955. The first Steiger articulated 4-wheel drive tractors started production in 1958. In Essex, England, Earnst Doe and Sons "produced" their articulated 4-wheel drive marriage of two Fordson Major tractors known as the Triple "D" in 1957. There were 2-wheel drive articulated tractors as early as 1915.

    At least one tractor was earlier: in 1962 russian factory Kirovets started to mass produce articulated four wheel drive tractor Kirovets K-700.

      Wagner was already mass producing an articulated 4wd before 1962.

    > cab was nice i guess
    They seem pointless until you're running it 8+ hours a day day in and day out
