A customised Valtra Unlimited N Series tractor set off on a summer-long tour of agricultural shows and country events across the UK and Ireland with a mission to raise as much money as possible for the Breast Cancer Care charity.

The unmissable pink Valtra Unlimited machine started its journey at the North Somerset Show at Wraxall, near Bristol, on 1 May, ending up more than five months later when it will be gracing a charity event at Ruyton X1 Towns, between Shrewsbury and the Welsh border. A total of 23 locations are on the itinerary, including Ploughing 2017.

The tractor itself is a 155hp N154 – a fourth generation, award-winning model – which has been finished to the company’s individual specification at the Valtra Unlimited Studio facility in Suolahti, Finland.

This exclusive design option is available to Valtra customers seeking an element of exclusivity when tackling their mainstream workload.

Richard Miller, advertising sales and promotions manager at Valtra, believes heads will be turned – and pockets emptied – by the presence of this stunning example of Finnish engineering and its enthusiastic crew. “We took the view that using a Valtra Unlimited in pink livery would boost the attention we are trying to attract to Breast Cancer Care and the amazing work that it does on these islands.”

Donations can be made through www.justgiving.com/ValtraPinkTractor and at the end of its nationwide tour of events, the tractor will be offered for sale by auction, with the profit realised going to the charity.
