Tractors have long had a specific colour design according to which brand they are. I have no idea as to whether there is a system of some sort to the colours of Valtra tractors, but I find it very interesting and refreshing that they come in a variety of colours. Of course, the colour alone has nothing to do with the function of the machine and is the least important factor when investing in a new tractor, but if you can choose, then why not. To the best of my knowledge, Valtra are the only ones that don't have a fixed, specific colour design. Having a fixed one colour design likely makes the manufacturing process cheaper, so I'd love to learn more as to why Valtra offer so many different colours. I'm guessing that there is a very interesting back story to it that probably reveals a lot of how the people at Valtra think. That is the important part that I'd like to know about.
Hi! Just another Valtra-fan to give some more info on this. Valtra was called Valmet prior to the 2000’s. In the 60’s/70’s you could only get Valmets in a dark yellow colour with brown effects and white rims. In the early 1980’s they merged with Volvo’s tractor department, called Volvo BM. Volvo BM used to have completely red tractors (cab, wheels, body). In 1983/1984 they released a new tractor series as a new brand, like a collaboration of the best from both brands, to replace the old tractors. This was called the Volvo BM Valmet 05-series. The new color scheme on these were red, with a black body/details and white rims/details. I have one myself from 1987, very good tractors. These tractors were called Volvo BM Valmet until the Volvo BM-name was dropped from the tractors, and they changed the name to Valmet again. In 1988, they started offering different colors on the 05-series. They did this by painting the cab black, and only offering the engines side panels in different colors (in combination with some stickers). The original color offering was red, blue, green, yellow, green and white if i remember correctly. As time went on and newer series’ were released, they expanded this offering. My guess as to why they came up with this idea, was that they probably saw an option to do something no other tractor manufacturer was doing, and it turned out to be successful. Now they are offering many types of metallic and special paints too. And as a little extra fact: The name ValTra stands for Valmet Tractors. They were forced to change name after change of ownership in the 1990’s and they brung back this old name that used to be used on even older Valmets. Valmets were known to be very good and reliable tractors, made of simple strong constructions, with a great performance in for example forestry (because of the steel undercarriage they had until the 2010’s). Would love to see what Valtra themselves would say on the story of their colours🤔 Thanks for reading!
It is truly amazing how AGCO wants farmers to spend thousands of dollars on tyre inflation systems. JD in the US gives the option of LSW tyres that offer low psi levels (8-13) that a farmer never needs to change. Reduced compaction, less power hop and road lope are the result. Also does not help that with MF and Fendt, your Tyre brands are restricted due to exclusive supply agreements.
Hi, @lol-vz8kd! At the moment TwinTrac is available in N, T Q and S series which all have larger cab than the G series. But we reserve all the rights to develop our products in the future. Kind regards, Valtra
Do both modes (y,k) need triggering before reversing? I heard in some other video from different channel that only one of the modes requires triggering before reversing. Not sure if i heard it right. Also does the system have safety features like obstacle avoidance if driver falls asleep?
