In 2007 the Russian agricultural-machinery manufacturer Rostselmash bought 80 percent of Buhler Versatile’s shares. From then on the tractors’ brand name was once again Versatile. In 2008 a new model range of smaller articulated tractors was introduced. The model numbers now corresponded to their horsepower ratings. The 10.8-liter Cummins engines produced about 7 percent more maximum power at 1 800 rpm than their nominal rating. The transmissions were still a mechanical 12 + 4—now with a top speed raised to 35 km/h—and a 12 + 2 full-powershift. The tractors had gained noticeably more weight than before, and their wheelbase had been lengthened as well.
