Versatile 250 vs Versatile 855

Verdict: Versatile 250 vs Versatile 855

The Versatile 250 and the Versatile 855 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Versatile 855 leads on rated power with 212 hp against 200 hp. Versatile 855 is the lighter machine (9,140 kg vs 17,700 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Versatile 250 is the newer design (2009 vs 1978). In short: choose the Versatile 855 for outright pulling power, or the Versatile 250 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
