The Buhler Versatile 2180 Genesis rolled off the line in 2001 as a tractor. 130 kW is available.
It is powered by diesel. It replaced the New Holland 8870A and was in turn replaced by the Buhler Versatile 2180 Genesis II. Within the range, rated power spans from 108 to 399 kW; with 130 kW, the 2180 Genesis sits at the bottom end. Directly alongside are the 2160 Genesis II with 120 kW below and the 2210 Genesis III with 160 kW above.
Buhler Versatile – other models: the collective page of tractors outside the named ranges, from the 305 through the Genesis range to the 2525 prototype, 108 to 399 kW, Cummins QSM/QSX engines
Versatile has built articulated four-wheel-drive tractors for prairie farming in Winnipeg, Canada, since the 1960s; after several changes of ownership the brand has belonged to Canadian manufacturer Buhler Industries since the late 1990s. This collective page gathers the models outside the named ranges, from the early three-digit 305 to 535 types to the Genesis range of the 2100 and 2200 years, where the suffixes II and III mark successive generations.

The register lists here 25 versions with 108 to 398.9 kW (145 to 535 hp) from engines of 7,500.4 to 15,000.7 cm³ displacement, unladen weights of 13,834.6 to 24,267.2 kg and lengths of 5,010 to 7,630 mm; powered by Cummins engines of the QSM11, QSX15 and N14 families as well as units listed in the register as Genesis diesel.
With these power classes Buhler Versatile serves the segment of articulated four-wheel tractors for large arable farms in North America, Australia and Eastern Europe, where the machines pull wide cultivators, drills and towed implements in large-scale farming.
Buying used, what matters on these big tractors above all is operating hours and the condition of the articulation joint with its hydraulic cylinders, wear on the four-wheel-drive hubs and final drives, and the tightness of the cooling and oil circuits on the Cummins engines; parts for the Cummins engines are readily available through the global service network, while brand-specific body and cab parts tend to run through specialised Versatile dealers.
