Transmission
The Valtra S Series features AVT (AGCO variable transmission). This type of transmission has been the most popular transmission for large tractors in Europe for many years.
It has achieved this position not only because of its versatility and reliability, but also because of its fuel efficiency. Especially in contracting work, where a lot of road driving is required, this type of transmission provides significant fuel savings.
The AVT transmission has two work areas.
- Work area A is for all work situations requiring heavy pulling force.
- Work area B is for general road transport.
Power out as you like it
High output two-speed PTO
Two PTO options are available: 540E + 1000 or 1000E + 1000. Electronic engagement ensures smooth starts and protects both the tractor and implement. Additional mudguard mounted controls increase convenience and safety.
Power and Economy
A PTO speed of 1000 rpm is achieved close to 2000 engine rpm, which is where the AGCO Sisu Power engine delivers its maximum output. The AGCO variable transmission (AVT) allows any ground speed (0 - 50 km/h) to be used with the selected PTO speed, offering the highest power for any operation. This naturally ensures high productivity.
For operations that do not require the highest output, economy PTO can be selected. The nominal speed (540 or 1000 rpm, selected when ordering the tractor) is achieved at a reduced engine speed of ca. 1600 rpm. This results in even lower fuel consumption and noise levels.
Headland use
When Auto mode is selected, the PTO automatically disengages when front linkage is raised or when the ground speed exceeds 25 km/h.
The PTO will also re-engage when the front linkage is lowered again. If more advanced headland operations are needed, Valtra’s U-pilot headland management system can be easily programmed to control all PTO, speed management, implement hydraulics and front linkage operations, front and rear.
Front PTO
A front PTO with a nominal speed of 1000 rpm can be fitted to all Valtra S models as an option.
