• Aires front axle suspension
• Two point suspension of the cab

• Good fixing points for implements like a grader blade between the axles

A tractor like the Valtra T Series equipped with these features is very competitive against lorries in maintenance of rural roads all year round. Rural roads are winding and hilly, and lorries cannot take much advantage of the higher nominal speed. A tractor is more compact which makes maneuvering at cross roads very easy and safe. The front loader can be fitted with a snow plough or bucket while the tractor pulls a sand spreader.

Lower running and insurance costs of the tractor mean big cost savings compared with lorries.
