Valtra announces brand new S Series - More power and comfort

20.10.2008

The new tractor series has been developed in close co-operation with Valtra’s parent company AGCO. The heart and backbone of the new S Series are AGCO Sisu Power’s (former Sisu Diesel) 8.4CTA-4V engine and a stepless AVT transmission (AGCO Variable Transmission).

The new S Series introduces advanced Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) engine technology for the agricultural machinery sector. SCR is a system originally developed for trucks whereby nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by spraying the urea-based AdBlue additive into the exhaust gas stream. By introducing this technology to its tractors, Valtra reinforces its position as a leader in environmental protection. The new S Series already complies with the Tier/Stage 3B emissions norms for 2011. The AdBlue consumption is approximately 3 percent of fuel consumption, so the 35-litre AdBlue container has to be filled every second fill of the main diesel fuel tank. SCR technology offers many benefits to tractor users. It reduces fuel consumption by approximately 5 percent, allows power to be increased without a corresponding increase in the heat load, prolongs the life of lubrication oil and improves reliability. SCR technology is standard on the S352 model and optional on all other S Series models, apart from the S232.

The AGCO Variable Transmission (AVT) represents proven technology that offers tractor users many ways to make their work more efficient. The driving speed and rpm can be adjusted using the throttle pedal, a hand lever or advanced automation.

The S Series’ pulling power, hydraulics and linkages make it easy to control even the biggest and most complex implements. The rear linkage has a lifting capacity of 11 tonnes. The front linkage has a lifting capacity of 5 tonnes and is also available with front axle suspension. The hydraulics offer an output of 200 l/min, 6 hydraulic blocks and a direct power beyond coupling. The tractor weighs 10,300 kilos, which can be increased to 14,320 kilos using additional weights or 17,640 kilos with double wheels.

Driving conditions in the totally new, spacious cab are superb. Visibility is excellent in all directions. The optional TwinTrac reverse-drive controls can be adjusted laterally, making working in reverse even more efficient. Cab suspension on all four corners softens bumps together with the front axle suspension, and Valtra’s award-winning semi-active AutoComfort cab suspension can also be specified. The controls are extremely straightforward and easy to use in true Valtra fashion. For example, the shuttle and handbrake are familiar from other Valtra models. Adjustable QuickSteer power steering makes driving easy. Xenon working lights to the front, rear and sides also facilitate working in low light. A refrigerated compartment keeps snacks cold, and passengers sit comfortably and safely in a complete seat with a seatback. Naturally, a wide range of options are available on the new S Series, including Isobus implement control, Auto-Guide steering assist and even an air-conditioned driver’s seat. Buyers get exactly the tractor they want.

Valtra’s brand-new S Series replaces the old S Series. Production of the new S Series will begin in 2009.
