VALTRA S SERIES | INDIVIDUALLY YOURS | 4

INDIVIDUALLY YOURS
Valtra’s roots have been growing deep in
Scandinavian soil for over a century. Today our
tractors are known for their reliability, durability,
versatility and Scandinavian heritage. Valtra tractors
are superior as each one is manufactured according
to the customer’s specifications to meet his or her
individual needs, to withstand even the toughest
conditions and to fulfil the customer’s productivity
requirements.

Valtra has developed and patented numerous unique

technical and design solutions that allow us to offer
competitive technology, quality products and superior
service – individually just for you.

SOWING THE SEEDS

OF SUCCESS
Valtra S – engineered for productivity
Total efficiency and productivity are the result of the
first-class work of our designers and the high-quality
of implementation. And when operating the tractor is
easy and the driver is comfortable, productivity can
be taken to an entirely new level. All these qualities
are combined in the Valtra S Series - never before has
there been such a focus on driver comfort.

A SMART PACKAGE
Valtra user interface
We have created a spacious and quiet cab (70 dB)
that is also extremely ergonomic. We combined this
with the Twin-Trac reverse-drive system designed
for the new S Series, excellent driving properties
and Valtra’s intelligent tractor control system. The
finishing touch is provided by the new AGCO Sisu
Power engine and stepless AVT (AGCO vari-able
transmission). The result is a tractor that we are very
proud of.

VALTRA S SERIES | DRIVER COMFORT FIRST | 10

DRIVER COMFORT FIRST

The Valtra S Series features a spacious cab that
provides excellent all-round visibility. The main
controls in the ergonomic cab are situated on the
multifunctional driver’s armrest. This is part of our
way of thinking, according to which productivity and
total economy are also the result of driver comfort.

Cab suspension
The Valtra S Series cab features a new four-point
pneumatic suspension system that utilises the latest
technology. Sensors relay information to the control
system, which makes sure that the suspension works
optimally in all conditions. The driver can adjust the
AutoComfort suspension according to his or her
preference. The system automatically adjusts the cab
suspension using sensors and a CAN bus.

VALTRA S SERIES | TWINTRAC | 11

TWINTRAC
The optional TwinTrac reverse-drive system combines
with an excellent driving position, powerful work
lights and an armrest that rotates with the seat to set
a new standard of ergonomics for reverse driving.

The cab of the S Series provides excellent visibility,

also to the rear. At the back is a steering column that
is adjust-able in all directions, also sideways. On the
floor there is a drive pedal, brake pedal and “clutch
pedal”. All the other main controls for driving and
controlling the hydraulics are situated in the driver’s
armrest. When the seat is rotated, the control of the
steering and transmission is automatically transferred
to the rear driving position. The steering is performed
electronically by the “steer-by-wire” principle.

VALTRA S SERIES | POWER IN YOUR HANDS | 12

POWER IN YOUR HANDS

Comfort improves productivity

Every detail has been carefully thought out. The
excellent ergonomics and design of the armrest
provide the driver with a firm and steady grip. When
the driver rotates the seat 180° to the TwinTrac
position, the armrest and controls rotate at the
same time. The Valtra ARM driver’s armrest includes
controls for the transmission, hydraulics and tractor
speed, as well as implement functions. This enhances
both productivity and safety.

The Valtra ARM driver’s armrest features another

innovation: for the first time ever the same user
interface can be used to operate three different
transmissions and several different tractor models
(Valtra Direct, Versu and S Series). This makes it
easy for drivers to switch from one Valtra tractor to
another, as they will find everything familiar.

The control panel for the work lights is

clearly laid out and easy to use. Six working
lights in the rear and in front are standard
on the S Series. Upper main lights and
work lights on the front handrails and rear
fenders are available as an option. All work
lights can also be specified as Xenon lights.

VALTRA S SERIES | QUICKSTEER | 13

QUICKSTEER
The number of steering wheel turns can be adjusted
by using the potentiometer, which disengages
automatically and reverts to the regular steering
ratio as soon as tractor speed exceeds 20 km/h.
QuickSteer makes headland turns faster and easier.

VALTRA S SERIES | THE HEART OF THE S SERIES | 14

THE HEART OF THE S SERIES

The heart of the S Series is the 8.4CTA-4V AGCO
Sisu Power off-road engine, which is available with
ground-breaking SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
technology. The 8.4CTA-4V AGCO Sisu Power SCR
engine is the most fuel efficient on the market,
offering up to 16% lower fuel consumption than
competitors. The new more efficient and powerful
engines, AGCO’s continuously variable transmission
and Valtra’s intelligent engine management system
combine to meet the needs of even the most
demanding users.

e3 TECHNOLOGY
The Valtra S Series engines employ
e3 technology, an SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) process.
SCR is extremely operator and
environmentally friendly, and it has
been used in trucks already for a long time. Valtra has
now introduced this technology also to tractors. SCR
technology treats the downstream exhaust with the
additive AdBlue, which breaks down into harmless
nitrogen and water vapor. What’s more, e3 extends
the lifespan of the engine, as it allows the AGCO Sisu
Power engine to run clean, with clean air and optimal
efficiency.

VALTRA S SERIES | PRODUCTIVITY | 16

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
THROUGH BETTER ENGINE
AND TRANSMISSION
ADAPTABILITY
To achieve the best performance, the Valtra S Series
has three operating modes and an advanced speed
manage-ment system. By selecting the right operating
mode for your work, you can optimize fuel efficiency,
work output and driving comfort. The drive pedal
allows you to control either the speed or engine revs.

• Two speed cruise controls and two engine rpm

cruise controls
• Speed cruise controls operated from the Valtra
ARM driver’s armrest
• Engine RPM cruise controls operated from the
side panel
• Speed cruise and RPM cruise controls can be used
simultaneously
• In PTO use the RPM cruise control recalls the
engine speed needed to reach the selected PTO
speed

VALTRA S SERIES | PRODUCTIVITY | 17

AUTOMATIC MODE AUTOMATIC MODE

Automatic mode is the default setting when starting the engine. The operating principle
is simple: automatic mode uses the highest possible transmission ratio to optimise fuel
economy. For example, when pulling a load in difficult terrain the transmission adjusts the Driving speed

ratio (engine speed) to maintain a constant ground speed.

Engine speed

AUTOMATIC MODE in PTO use

In PTO use the engine speed is set. The transmission decreases the driving speed when the AUTOMATIC MODE in PTO use
load exceeds the power available. A good example of this is loader wagon work.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE Driving speed

In semi-automatic mode the drive pedal works like a normal accelerator pedal. The CVT lever
PTO speed
adjusts the transmission ratio in relation to the engine speed. The further back the lever is,
the more revs are required to reach a certain speed. The semi-automatic mode is useful for
pulling work when the operator wants to control the engine speed. SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE

MANUAL MODE
In manual mode the transmission ratio is controlled solely by the CVT lever. The automatic

VALTRA S SERIES | TRANSMISSION | 21

AVT TRANSMISSION
Work Areas
The Valtra S Series features AVT (AGCO variable
transmission). This type of transmission has been the
most popular transmission for large tractors in Europe
for many years. It has achieved this position not
only because of its versatility and reliability, but also
because of its fuel efficiency. Especially in contracting
work, where a lot of road driving is required, this type
of transmission provides significant fuel savings.
