Valtra transmissions

Comfortable, reliable and easy to use

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.

Versatile Powershift transmissions

A range of automated or programmable transmission functions make the operation of Valtra HiTech, HiTech 5 or Versu models intuitive and ensure that you get the power and precision you need.

AVT - stepless efficiency

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

Powershift transmissions

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

Transmission droop setting

The transmission droop setting determines how sensitive the transmission system is to changes in engine load. Power, normal and economy modes are available.

Speed balance forward/reverse

When the potentiometer is in the middle position, the speeds in both forward and reverse are equal (100%). Turning the potentiometer clockwise reduces the driving speed in reverse by 10 to 90 percent, and turning anticlockwise reduces the driving speed forwards accordingly. This function can be used when extremely slow speeds are required (down to 0.01 km/h) or when manoeuvring at headlands.

Engine braking control

Switch between three positions: low, normal and rolling. The rolling setting is recommended for slippery conditions, for example on snow or ice.

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.

Optimised efficiency

The AGCO Variable Transmission features different work areas for tasks requiring different speeds. Work area A is for all work situations requiring heavy pulling power, while work area B is for general road transport. This enables the pulling power and transmission efficiency to be optimised. For example, when driving at low engine speeds, the fuel savings are considerable.

Up to 10% more power

Valtra’s innovative SigmaPower is now available on the S Series. Whenever extra power is required by the PTO or hydraulics, the engine’s electronic management system boosts output by as much as 10% - up to 400 horsepower on the biggest S Series models. Power boost is also available when driving at speeds over 20 km/h.

Optimal driving mode

You can control the stepless transmission in the way that suits you best - using the accelerator pedal, the cruise control system or the easy-to-use CVT lever. You can also select from two operating modes to optimise fuel efficiency, work output and driving comfort.

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.

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.
