Power, intelligence, drivability and comfort in new Valtra T Series

Introducing the latest innovative farming systems to its popular T series tractors, the fifth generation features an impressive array of new technology designed to maximise every farmer and operator’s needs.

These features aid in drivability and comfort while improving efficiency of daily operation.

Placed in the large farmer and contractor size bracket, the T5 sits in the 155-271 horsepower range, providing a great power supply for every task in a versatile size.

The proven AGCO Power engine (SISU) is continuing its stay in this range of tractors.

Being one of the best engines on the market, the 6.6L is used in the T145 and T155 tractors, while the larger 7.4L engine starts in the T175 model all the way through to the T255, which has a maximum power of 271hp.

These engines perform extremely well and have great torque over their rpm range while adhering to the latest stage V emissions standards.

These latest engines have hydraulic lash adjustment and a 600-hour service interval translating into lower service costs and a longer lifespan, which is critical in today’s high demanding applications.

The T5 Series sees similar transmission options to the earlier T4 series.

Direct is Valtras CVT transmission, which supplies high efficiency at all working speeds.

The SmartTouch display comes standard with this transmission, which Valtra operators will be familiar with from the 4 series.

The SmartTouch interface uses an operator friendly system where all tractor features are at your fingertips.

Easy to configure and navigate, improves the efficiency of every operator.

The SmartTouch operating system is also home to the Valtra smart farming features.

These include Valtra Guide auto-guidance, ISOBUS connections, section control and variable rate applications which are prominent features in today’s high demanding agriculture operations.

The Versu transmission is a five step powershift which also benefits from the same high-tech features in cab that the Direct model has.

For a more basic user interface, the active model is available which has the 5 step powershift saddled in the rear end. Improving on these transmissions are technological advances allowing the operator to set them up best for the task being undertaken.

Much of the external styling is kept the same as the T4 series, with the successful sleek modern design continued into the T5 range.

Being available to order in any colour is a significant Valtra trait, which most companies make the most of when it comes to matching into their current fleet colours.

The signature pneumatic front suspension is kept for the T5 range, keeping operator comfort paramount.

While a six-pillar cab is still used, Valtra’s in cab components are laid out in an ergonomic layout and promote visibility for the operator.

The fifth generation improves on some user aspects of the machine, including a smart A-pillar information screen.

A screen located on the A pillar is becoming increasingly popular with tractor manufacturers.

It clearly displays the necessary information, warnings, transmission state all the way to hydraulics and PTO information, to the operator in an un-obstructed environment.

The T series has a wheelbase length of 2995m which equates to great pulling, especially with that AGCO Power engine at the front equating to a well-balanced machine.

This reduces the amount of ballast needed to do the same job as other machines would.

Loaders can be supplied from factory, incorporating the loader into the tractor’s system prevents issues arising down the track.

The multi-function joystick gives you full electric control with the lifting power to more than 2.5 tonnes.

The roof window aids in high visibility at the full range of the loaders travel.

Lifting to a height of nearly 5m, the largest bale stacks and silage pits will be dealt to with ease.

The long wheelbase on the T series gives the tractor a great stable base for loader work with a low centre of gravity.

The T5 series tractors have a number of improvements and technological advances over the proven T4 series.

A comfier environment for operators, along with the extra tech, help make jobs more efficient, resulting in cost savings.

The reliable AGCO power engine produces the power and torque needed for every application, coupled to a range of transmission options for you to have the best setup suited to your operation.
