The S Series is powered by an AGCO Power 8.4-litre engine that complies with Stage 4 emissions standard yet produces up to 400hp and 1650 Nm of torque with boost. The engine has twin turbos, one of which has an electronically adjustable waste-gate. The temperature of the exhaust gases is reduced, which Valtra claims improves engine reliability and lowers emissions.
The S Series is powered by an AGCO Power 8.4-litre engine that complies with Stage 4 emissions standard yet produces up to 400hp and 1650 Nm of torque with boost.
The engine has twin turbos, one of which has an electronically adjustable waste-gate. The temperature of the exhaust gases is reduced, which Valtra claims improves engine reliability and lowers emissions.
Featuring selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and the Sisu Tronic engine management system, the engine is claimed to be fuel efficient. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is also used to comply with the Stage 4 emissions standard, without the need for additional particulate filters. The emissions are cleaned by a combination of urea and catalytic converters, so Valtra claims that the system is maintenance free.
The new S Series comes with the stepless AGCO variable transmission (AVT) controlled from the Valtra ARM driver’s armrest. The driver can select from two driving modes to optimise work productivity and fuel consumption.
The three point linkages front and rear are integrated with the frame. They are rated to carry 12 tonnes at the rear and 5 tonnes at the front. The hydraulics pump output is 175 litres/minute through a maximum of six spool valves.
Valtra’s TwinTrac reverse-drive system is available for the new S series models. For comfort the S Series has an AutoComfort cab suspension, which automatically adjusts to suit the conditions.
Valtra’s new S Series can be specified with AutoGuide 3000 steering assist system and AgCommand telemetry. The U-Pilot headland management system and Isobus readiness for implements come as standard.
