Engine Type:
Diesel (Specific engine variants would need to be confirmed for the 6100 model, often AGCO Power or SisuDiesel engines).
Horsepower Range:
Likely in the 80-100 HP range, depending on specific engine configuration.
Torque Curve:
Detailed torque specifications and curves would be provided within the manual for optimal engine operation.
Injection System:
Typically common rail direct injection for modern diesel engines of this era, with high-pressure fuel pump and injectors.
Oil Type Recommendation:
API CI-4 or CJ-4 rated diesel engine oil, with specific viscosity grades (e.g., 15W-40) provided in the manual.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based coolant with appropriate corrosion inhibitors, often a long-life formulation.
Transmission Type:
Likely a synchronized mechanical gearbox with multiple speed ranges (e.g., 16 forward, 8 reverse) and potentially a powershift or creeper gear option.
Powershift Option:
Some Valtra 6000 series models may feature a powershift transmission (e.g., HiTech) for on-the-go gear changes.
Pto System:
Typically a multi-speed PTO (e.g., 540/1000 RPM) with mechanical or electronic engagement, controlled via a lever or button.
Transmission Oil Type:
UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or similar specialized hydraulic/transmission fluid, with specific AGCO specifications (e.g., Valtra Coolant). Capacity and change intervals are critical.
Wheelbase:
Specific dimensions vary by configuration, but Valtra tractors of this era typically had wheelbases around 2400-2500 mm.
Operating Weight:
Expected operating weight to be in the range of 4500-5500 kg, depending on chassis and options.
Towing Capacity:
Significant towing capacity, with specifications for drawbar and trailer hitch loads provided in the manual.
Cabin Features:
While not focused on infotainment, the cabin design emphasizes ergonomics, control accessibility, and operator comfort for long working days. May include basic radio options.
Controls Layout:
Intuitive control layout for transmission, PTO, hydraulics, and hitch controls, designed for efficient operation.
Wiring Harnesses:
Detailed wiring diagrams are a crucial aspect of the manual for diagnosing and repairing electrical faults.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, or annually, whichever comes first. Specific interval is in the manual.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Recommended at 1000-2000 operating hours, or annually. Filter replacement is critical during fluid changes.
Air Filter Replacement:
Service or replacement based on operating conditions; manual will specify checks and replacement intervals.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approx. 10-12 liters for typical 4-cylinder diesel engines of this class.
Hydraulic Fluid Capacity:
Approx. 40-60 liters, depending on transmission and implement configuration.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, hydraulic system leaks, PTO engagement issues, and electrical connector corrosion are common over time.
Engine Common Problems:
Issues with fuel injectors, glow plugs, and potential turbocharger wear can occur with high hours.
Heritage:
Valtra is a Finnish manufacturer with a long history in tractor production, known for ruggedness and reliability in demanding conditions. It is now part of the AGCO Corporation.
Series Context:
The 6100 is part of Valtra's 6000 series, known for its versatility and offering a range of engine sizes and transmission options for various agricultural tasks.
Production Period:
The Valtra 6000 series, including the 6100, was primarily produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
