Versatile, a division of Buhler Industries Inc. (TSX: BUI), is the only Canadian manufacturer of agricultural tractors. The factory in Winnipeg, Manitoba covers almost 700,000 square feet with complete manufacturing and assembly capabilities and full research and development facilities.
Today, Versatile is part of Buhler Industries, a publicly traded company on the Toronto Stock Exchange. In 2007 Rostselmash, a RUSSIAN agricultural equipment company, acquired a controlling stake in Buhler Industries. Farm King is another brand under Buhler Industries agricultural equipment portfolio. (I wonder how they are doing now?)

The D9 was a series of heavy, tracked-type tractors, carried on continuous tracks and usually used as bulldozers. The series began in 1954, with a prototype tractor called the D9X. Ten D9X prototype models were built in 1954. Then, in 1955, the 286hp D9 was introduced to compete against the more powerful Euclid TC-12.
The final design of the D9 production model incorporated suggestions from customers involved in the pilot test program. The first production D9 – and the first new, track-type tractor produced by Caterpillar since 1938 – came off the assembly line in April 1955. At that time, it was the world’s largest and most powerful tractor, weighing more than 56,000 pounds and powered by a 286hp, turbo-charged engine. Additional features included a standard torque converter transmission, oil-type clutch, in-seat starting, excellent operator visibility and many servicing conveniences that were previously not available in Caterpillar’s product line.
In 1956, the D9 had its engine power raised to 320hp, then the new 335hp D9E replaced that model in 1959. Two years later, the legendary 385hp D9G was introduced; it remained in production for 13 years, and became the main crawler on many job sites, testifying to its sturdiness and design quality.

The seeds are equally distributed.
Fewer seeds are wasted.
It consumes less time compared to the manual method.
Ensures equal distance and proper depth.
