Engine Manufacturer:
Valtra (likely Sisu Diesel or similar, common for Valtra)
Engine Details:
In-line 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engines common for these models (specific displacement varies by model variant and region).
Horsepower Range:
Typically in the 120-150 HP range for these models (specific figures vary).
Torque Characteristics:
Designed for high torque output at low RPMs for agricultural applications.
Injection System:
Commonly features advanced mechanical or electronic injection systems.
Fuel Filter Part Number:
Requires specific Valtra part numbers, consult manual for exact cross-references.
Transmission Type Standard:
Likely a robust manual or powershift transmission (e.g., 36-speed or 20-speed powershift options were common).
Transmission Type Optional:
Different powershift configurations or creeper gears might be available depending on the specific model and market.
Gear Selection:
Electro-hydraulic control for powershift functions, integrated with shuttle lever.
Transmission Fluid Specification:
Specific Valtra or AGCO approved transmission/hydraulic fluid (e.g., Valtra Transmission Oil or equivalent specification).
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil type. Consult manual for precise interval.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Generally every 1000-1500 operating hours. Consult manual for specific interval and filter replacement.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Intervals vary, typically 1000-2000 operating hours. Refer to manual for exact schedule and filter changes.
Engine Oil Specification:
API CG-4 or CH-4, SAE 15W-40 recommended, or specific Valtra specification. Always confirm with manual.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Specific Valtra coolant or equivalent.
Hydraulic Fluid Specification:
Valtra Transmission Oil (VTO) or AGCO Premium Tractor Fluid (PTF) or equivalent. Viscosity and type critical, consult manual.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch components, hydraulic pump wear, PTO clutch packs, front axle kingpins, and electrical connectors can be common wear points.
Electrical Gremlins:
Corrosion on connectors, particularly in agricultural environments, can lead to intermittent electrical faults. Proper maintenance of wiring harnesses is key.
Powershift Control:
Issues with powershift engagement or erratic behavior can sometimes be related to hydraulic pressure, solenoids, or electronic control unit (ECU) issues.
