Valtra tractors

Any experts on these things

oldwrencher · Nov 13, 2020

salesman at machinery show several years ago told a friend and me that a valtra gains hp at everygearbox so a 100 hp at engine would be maybe 135-150 at drawbar or pto. That is how dumb I looked I guess..Always thot gearboxes absorbed some power. not increased it,might be too old to learn, Have a blessed day.

If your thinking on buying one most people that have them actually like them.

They are either extremely good and nobody wants to part with them.
Or orphans in North America as out of 120 for sale on external_link.com there is one in the U.S. and three in Canada.

they are very good and my relatives all love them. as for your problem I believe it is and electrical issue but can't remember how it works.
Parts are not cheap but nothing is anymore

In this area they are 99% equipped with the forestry package, no complaints heard with that type of abuse, a used unit is rare to find. Maybe try " Valta.ca " for a web site/info source ?
Maybe a little sample of tranny oil check for metallic[excessive] content may narrow things down, most likely as mentioned electrical item/connections.
without the forestry package some wiring may be subject to corn stalks/weeds/alders etc wherever it came from?, maybe check the running voltage at the battery, just in case it will start but not charging enough to keep a computer[?] control going? i do see the snow, so thats a long shot.....
hope it helps

I suppose if you ran it through and reduced it every time you could gain power

Valtra was big among the rich BTO's up here maybe 15-18 years back. Then they disappeared. Haven't seen or heard of one in many years.

Sounds like salesman doesn't know the difference between Torque and HP.------Loren

They absorbed Volvo tractors and then were absorbed by AGCO. You will
see some S/N tags on Massey Fergusons that show they were built by Valtra.

Not an expert. All I can say is that I think in Denmark where I am, and I guess in all Scandinavia, Valtra is among the 3 brands with the highest resale value. The other 2 are JD and Fendt. Those for sale usually have many hours on them.

They were good tractors, most were forestry use. I wouldn't be too scared of one in good shape.

You could buy them in several colors like a pickup. I have old sale lit somewhere showing the color palette to pick from.
