Direct - Extremely easy to use

The Nordic CVT transmission is controlled in most situations with the drive pedal and speed management on the patented, ergonomic Valtra ARM armrest. The reliable CVT is designed to be effective also at very high as well as low temperatures: fast starts in Nordic cold as well as heavy pull in Mediterranean heat are easy tasks.

Due to four work areas low speeds are effective – as well as at high speeds. A proven and easy to use power shuttle unit guarantees effi ciency in both driving directions. When you’re using the front loader, a hydraulics assistant automatically increases RPMs to improve loading performance; a turbine clutch function helps keep a firm grip on the ground. Another remarkable thing in the Direct is the precision of movement. That’s total control.

Direct tractors could not be simpler to drive: turn on the engine, choose the direction you want to drive in and press the gas pedal.

Your work is made even easier with the “active stop” function on Valtra Direct tractors: when you lift your foot off the gas pedal, the tractor comes to a stop and remains in place without you having to use the brakes. When working all you have to do is select the appropriate driving range and let the tractor take care of the optimal efficiency between the engine and transmission. If needed you can also set the engine speed or driving speed, either together or individually.

To make driving as easy as possible, all the main control buttons and switches are located on the Valtra ARM driver’s armrest. Regardless of which direction you are driving in, all the controls are at hand. Valtra has taken stepless transmission technology to a new level by combining ease-of-use, power for work and driver comfort without sacrificing powertrain efficiency.

Direct features

Speed balance forward/reverse (A)
When the switch is in the centre position, the driving speed in forward and reverse is the same. Rotating
the switch reduces the speed in the chosen direction by 10 to 90 percent without affecting the driving speed in the other direction.

Automatic traction control – turbine clutch (B)
This switch allows you to use the initial gas pedal movement to adjust the amount of torque. By pressing the gas pedal you can control precisely the amount of torque going to the tyres in order to maximise grip.

Engine braking (C)
Three positions: enhanced, normal and rolling. The rolling mode is recommended in slippery winter conditions.

Semi-automatic driving (D)
The CVT switch allows the driver to adjust the ratio between the transmission and the engine speed. When driving in manual the transmission ratio is selected directly using the CVT switch.
