Valtra transmissions

Comfortable, reliable and easy to use

Valtra tractors on field

Valtra transmissions are designed to help you work long days productively and efficiently.

Valtra tractors offer you a range of transmission and hydraulic options that allow you to perform tasks precisely, comfortably and with maximum available power.

Smooth direction changes

The smooth and precise electrohydraulic forward-reverse shuttle improves productivity when frequent direction changes are required, as in front-loader tasks.

For added safety and comfort, the shuttle also features an integrated handbrake, which is engaged automatically when the shuttle switch is in P mode or when the engine is turned off. Selecting a driving direction releases the handbrake, so it cannot be left on by mistake.

Clutchless shifting

The HiShift feature on Valtra's HiTech, HiTech 5 and Versu powershift transmissions allows manual gear changes without pressing the clutch pedal, making your work more efficient and reducing the strain on your clutch leg and foot.

For added safety and comfort, the shuttle also features an integrated handbrake, which is engaged automatically when the shuttle switch is in P mode or when the engine is turned off. Selecting a driving direction releases the handbrake, so it cannot be left on by mistake.

Direct CVT

Four work areas ensure power even at slower speeds

Work areas let you optimise the efficiency of the engine and transmission, allowing you to drive more economically. Each of the four work areas begins from zero and offers stepless speed adjustment. You can also work as efficiently in reverse as you can forwards.

Note that all work areas have lower top speeds on 40 km/h transmissions than on 50 km/h transmissions.

Work area A

  • Heavy pulling / special crops
  • 0-9 km/h
  • For the heaviest jobs, like low-speed tillage or special crop harvesting.
  • Ideal when high pulling power is needed continuously, or when precise speed adjustments are needed.
  • Extremely high pulling power with PTO-driven trailers.

Work area B

  • Field work
  • 0-18 km/h
  • Universal field work range
  • Ideal from seeding and faster tillage up to different forage operations.
  • Easy control of different operations (like harvesting speeds).
  • Also suitable for transporting in the forest.

Work area C

  • Fast working
  • 0-27 km/h
  • Ideal when transporting in field conditions.
  • Suitable for many municipality applications.
  • Efficient starting with heavy loads.

Work area D

  • Road transport
  • 0-50 km/h
  • Ideal for road transport at high speeds.

Automatic or manual operating mode

Automatic mode is optimal for most operations in the field and on the road. It uses the highest possible transmission ratio to optimise fuel use.

Manual mode can be selected in work areas A and B. The transmission ratio is controlled solely by the driver using the CVT lever. Manual mode is suitable especially for harvesting tasks that require specific speeds for different conditions and crops.

Flexible settings for different working conditions

AVT

AVT - stepless efficiency

The overall efficiency of the Valtra S Series is further enhanced by the stepless AGCO Variable Transmission (AGCO AVT).

Manufactured by AGCO in Germany, the AGCO Variable Transmission has been the European market leader among big tractors for years. Its popularity is based on its versatility and, above all, its fuel efficiency. This is especially true in contracting work that requires a lot of driving between locations. The AGCO Variable Transmission enables efficient driving at low engine speeds.

Valtra CVT automode

Automatic mode

Automatic mode is the default setting when starting the engine. The operating principle is simple: automatic mode uses the highest possible transmission ratio to optimise fuel economy. For example, when pulling a load in difficult terrain, the transmission adjusts the ratio (engine speed) to maintain a constant ground speed. There are two ground speed cruise control settings and an engine speed cruise control setting.

Valtra CVT manualmode

Manual mode

When you want to control both the ground speed and the engine speed precisely, you can select manual mode. There are two ground speed cruise control settings and an engine speed cruise control setting. When using the PTO, the engine speed cruise control adjusts the rpm to achieve the required output.
