Versatile Tractor Reunion

09/09/2009

In August, more than 250 farmers gathered in North Dakota for a reunion of sorts. For a couple of days, the farm of Mike and Jesse Arth hosted 58 Versatile tractors. There was a tractor from every series built by Versatile.

According to Jesse, the event began with coffee shop conversation. Five farmers realized they owned 11 Versatiles among them.a group of farmers realized they all had several models of Versatile tractors among them. The expectation was for maybe 40 tractors to be at the event, but that grew by nearly 50% when the day came.
