Valtra Versu, Direct and S Series in full serial production
08.11.2009Valtra Versu, Direct and S Series tractors are in full serial production with many advanced features.
The new Valtra models were introduced last year and are now in serial after the production ramp up phase. During the ramp up period the new models have been updated with many new features such as an advanced manual drive mode (Direct), engine brakes during shuttle operation for smoother direction changes (Versu and Direct), advanced control of engine rpm and speed cruise with two memory locations for each, and many more.
The five-step powershift Versu models and stepless Direct models in both N and T Series are equipped with modular and modern Valtra transmissions. The four speed ranges of the Direct transmission have been adjusted to suit all types of tractor operation. Each range starts from from 0 km/h (approx. A: 0-9, B: 0-18., C: 0-27, D: 0-50 km/h), with the top speed being achieved at 1600 engine rpm.
The hydraulics of the Versu and Direct models has been praised by the farmers and contractors. The hydraulic system offers record-breaking 160 l/min output of hydraulic oil to up to six valves at the back of the tractor and three at the front. Hydraulic and transmission oils are separate, which balances the temperatures inside the transmission and reduces the risks of oil contamination.
Valtra S Series has also received a warm reception by the customers. Especially AGCO Sisu Power SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) engines have been praised because of their efficiency, low fuel consumption and up to 370 horsepower. The fuel consumption of the SCR engine is some 3-7 per cent lower than competitors. Not to speak of the environmental friendliness of the SCR engines, as SCR system converts nitrogen oxides to harmless nitrogen and water.
The new Valtra models share common, state-of-the-art precision farming systems like Auto-Guide² automatic steering and Isobus implement management. The new generation Auto-Guide² offers a new TopDock receiver with readiness not only for GPS, but also for Glonass and Galileo satellite signals, and a new console which can also be used for Isobus implement management.
