Versatile is a Canadian brand of agricultural equipment that has produced augers, swathers, combines and most notably tractors. The company, based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, currently belongs to Buhler Industries (Bühler). In the 1970s it was an independent operation, founded by Peter Pakosh and Roy Robinson, that owned 70% of the 4WD tractor market and then was later owned by Ford and Fiat's New Holland, spun off when Case-International merged with New Holland to CNH Global.
