The new Valtra T-Series tractors

The new Valtra T-Series tractors have been delivered! Valtra held some field days last week in Hünersdorff (Germany) to launch the 4th generation of their successful T-Series...We couldn't attend that event but some friends (Timo, Alberto and Sara) sent us a few pictures about it.

The new T4-Series uses AGCO Sisu Power engines of 6-cyl Tier 4 Final / Stage 4 engine regulations and SCR only (6.6 or 7.4 litre engine) and they are available in four different versions: Active, Versu, Direct and HiTech, although this last version will be available in November of 2015. All different models are T144, T154, T174e, T194, T214 and T234 which can generate a maximum power between 170HP/680Nm and 250HP/1000Nm. The Active and Versu versions have a gearbox of 5 steps Powershift, 4 work areas (A,B,C and D) and creeper (10 gears more). The Direct version uses a CVT gearbox. Both gearboxes are designed and manufacturated by Valtra.

The basic hydraulic pump has a capacity of 115 l/min with mechanical hydraulic controls in the Active version. In the Versu and Direct version, the hydraulic pump capacity can get 160 l/min with electronic hydraulic controls. All models use Load Sensing hydraulic system. The front wheels are now much nearer the front end as opposed other older T models. Wheel base (2,995 mm) is much longer than before as well. The advantage of having wheels nearer front end and also having a narrower front frame is that the turning wheel is tighter than before (also with wide front tyres). This new T-Series was tested by customers in their daily work during 2013 and 2014 mostly in Finland and France.

Valtra is a Finnish manufacturer which has its headquarter in Suolahti where all its tractor are manufactured (A, N, T and S Series). Valtra hoods and cabins are manufactured in MSK Cabins in Ylihärmä that is about 200km from Valtra factory. The parts are loaded to the truck in the same order as tractors are in the production line in Valtra factory and transported to the factory 3…4 hours before they are installed into the tractor. Similarly engines (manufactured in town Nokia) and some other parts are transported directly to the production line. Transmission is made in Valtra factory except A series. It’s transmission is nowadays manufactured in Hattat/Hema in Turkey.

  1. TwinTrac / Rear driving controls for reverse driving

    1. Pues seguro que saldrá bueno... Valtra tiene muy buenos tractores.

      ¿Por qué el Versu y no otra versión?

      Gracias por tu comentario.

    2. Ese modelo solo tiene Versu el cambio continuo le probé en la versión T183 y me encanto pero nos decidimos por este otro que tenía tripuntal delantero y diré que tiene una tecla que si la das un toque los dos últimos grupos los hace en automático pero se nota un poco el cambio, cosa que en los Direct no se nota.
      No es la serie nueva o sea tengo un Valtra nuevo sin usar todavía que es viejo.
      Salu2.

    3. Realmente las cajas de cambio powershift han mejorado tanto que los cambios son muy suaves. Por tanto, y siempre según el trabajo que se le va a dar al tractor, tal vez no merece la pena gastar el dinero en una CVT que siempre son más caras.

      Respecto a lo de que tienes un tractor sin usar que ya es viejo siempre ocurre cuando salen nuevas series. Te queda el consuelo de que siempre estos nuevos son más caros que los anteriores.

      Muchas gracias.

    4. Simplemente decir, que cuando miramos el tractor se nos informó de la salida de la serie nueva, para que no nos sintiéramos engañados, cosa que agradecí.
      Yo prefiero series con muchas horas de vuelo que las nuevas que siempre se paga el pato.
      Diré y posiblemente me equivoque que la cabina se parece a la de Fendt y al querer imponer la multinacional sus gustos la marca pierde sus señas de identidad como creo que está pasando con Case y New Holland y lo mismo con Same Deutz-Fahr.
      Salu2.

    1. Pues la verdad es que no tenemos ni idea de los precios de estos tractores, pero sería genial si algún agricultor que tenga un serie T nos pueda orientar.

      Gracias por tu comentario.

    1. Es cierto. El diseño es expectacular, el motor Sisu siempre ha sido un gran motor, la caja de cambios Valtra tienen fama de robustas... tiene todos los ingredientes para ser un buen tractor.

      Gracias por tu comentario.
