Versatile 400 vs Versatile 976

Verdict: Versatile 400 vs Versatile 976

The Versatile 400 and the Versatile 976 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Versatile 400 leads on rated power with 320 hp against 316 hp. Versatile 976 is the lighter machine (9,570 kg vs 14,288 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
