Canada's Quiet Legend: The Versatile Tractors

Video Description

From a small workshop in Winnipeg, Manitoba, two innovators—Peter Pakosh and Roy Robinson - set out to change the future of farming. Their company, Versatile, became the first in the world to mass-produce articulated four-wheel-drive tractors, revolutionizing agriculture and reshaping the fields of North America. This video explores the full story of Versatile: its humble beginnings, its groundbreaking designs like the bi-directional tractor, and the creation of one of the largest tractors ever built - the legendary Big Roy 1080. Through decades of innovation, corporate takeovers, and global expansion, Versatile has remained true to its name - adaptable, resilient, and built for real farmers. From its red-and-yellow machines of the 1970s to modern hydrogen-powered concepts, Versatile’s journey is one of engineering genius and Canadian pride.
