Valmet / Valtra

The well-known machine developer Matti Sampo developed the Titan prototype in 1984, featuring chassis steering and wheel-specific hydraulic motors. At the end of the same year, he sold the rights to the product to Valmet. In addition to environmental management, the machine was aimed at agricultural use for fieldwork and loading tasks.

In 1987, the red H 800 and its yellow industrial version H 810 were introduced to the market. The engine was a 110-horsepower four-cylinder turbo. The power transmission was based on separate hydraulic pumps and David Brown hydraulic motors on the front and rear axles. There were three speed ranges (0-11, 0-17, and 0-30 km/h). Speed ranges and driving direction were selected electrically. At the rear, there was a 5-ton lifting device equipped with drawbar sensing. A lifting device could also be fitted at the front if needed. The working hydraulics featured a 140 l/min variable displacement axial piston pump. The power take-off was available mechanically at the front and hydraulically driven at the rear. The cab, located on the front frame, followed design principles learned from other Valmet tractors. The control panel could rotate 180 degrees for reverse driving.

Production of the H 800/810 remained limited to a few dozen units. It was too expensive, and its off-road capability was poor.

In the autumn of 1999, the Valtra S-series was announced, which was designed to support Valtra's marketing in the major agricultural countries of Europe. It only went into serial production in the autumn of 2001. The engine was Valtra's electronically controlled 8.4-liter. The transmission (T7336), rear axle, and front axle were purchased from ZF. The same components were used, for example, by Deutz-Fahr in their largest models. Valtra's own innovations included a turbine clutch, HiTech, which is an electronic powertrain control, and a CAN-bus integrated information system that was said to contain 400,000 lines of code. There were four powershift gears. The powertrain was also available in a 50 km/h version. The tractor's functions were controlled from a Linux-based display screen. Especially the control of the hydraulic electronic valves was versatile. The hydraulics featured an adjustable displacement pump with a flow rate of 147 l/min. There were up to seven valve blocks.

The S-series introduced Valtra's new soft and rounded design line. The cabin noise level was 78 dB, which is relatively high in this class. The cabin had no opening windows at all and only one door. The cabin suspension was pneumatic. The S-series was designed to be driven in both directions, since in the optional TwinTrac system, the most important controls, except for the gear lever, rotated together with the seat. Production of the S-series was on a small scale and the price was uncompetitive. Alongside the S260, the S230 was introduced, which remained more of a brochure embellishment than a real competitor to the 260.

In the autumn of 2003, the model designations were updated to S240 and S280 when power outputs began to be stated according to the ISO standard. At the same time, an optional quick-adjust rear axle track width was introduced to accommodate row cropping.

The 6-cylinder models of the Valtra Valmet HiTech range introduced in the fall of 1998 mainly corresponded to the Mega 8050 series. As a SigmaPower model, the 8750 was replaced by the 8950 with 200 horsepower, which featured a Bosch inline pump instead of the Stanadyne distributor pump used in the smaller models.

The automation of the Delta Powershift transmission allowed programming of two automatic quick-shift programs, one for fieldwork and one for road use. The reverser was based on two wet multi-disc clutches. The reverse acceleration could be set to be faster or slower than the forward driving speed. The engagement of the quick shift was smoother than in the standard model thanks to sensors and automation. Also, the power take-off (PTO) engagement was controlled by the computer.

The reverser was mounted on the left side of the stalk. The clutch pedal was electrically operated, and a push-button clutch on the shift levers' knobs was standard. From the display on the right front pillar, the driver could see the quick shift stage, the selected direction, driving speed, and outside temperature. The lift device on all models was an Autocontrol D equipped with oscillation damping.

A new pneumatic Aires front suspension was available for the 6-cylinder HiTech models. This system, which differed from competitors', was justified by its functionality in extreme climatic conditions. The spring elements were two truck air springs and a shock absorber. The air was produced by a compressor, which could also be used for trailer brakes. The front axle was Dana, and for industrial models, Carraro.

In the fall of 2000, the HiTech 2.0 models were introduced. The automatic programs were updated. The most significant improvement was the user's ability to adjust the engine speeds used as transmission automation thresholds to suit each task. The four-wheel drive now engaged for a few seconds every time the tractor started moving or changed direction. When desired, starting out required only pressing the throttle after activating the Auto Traction function, and stopping was done by releasing the throttle or braking.

A new 135-horsepower low-rev model 8350 was introduced, with a nominal engine speed of 1800 rpm. The gear ratios corresponded to the 50 km/h version, but the top speed was limited to 40 km/h due to the lower engine speed. The noise level was specified as 73 dB. The 8350 featured an industrial front axle, as did the larger models.

In the 2003 model lineup, the 8050 and 8150 remained, now equipped with Bosch's electronic injection pump.

Valmet/Valtra HiTech 8050-8950

In the fall of 2020, Valtra's lineup was expanded with the G-series. It replaced the smallest models of the N-series, and compared to those, it was a tractor in a slightly lighter weight class by almost all measures. The engine was a 4.4-liter Agco Power, compliant with Stage 5 emission standards and equipped with urea injection and a particulate filter. Depending on the model, there was an additional 5 to 10 hp available, which could be utilized already at field speeds starting from gear B5. Like other model series, the lineup included a low-speed model, the G125e, where selecting the eco program provided a maximum power at 1750 rpm and maximum torque at 1250 rpm. The transmission in the G-series was the 24+24 speed GIMA-made gearbox, i.e., MF's Dyna-6. There were six powershift gears and the highest road speed was 43 km/h, reached at 1900 rpm. The hydraulics also followed MF’s options: in the Hitech version, there was an open 100 l/min system, while the Active and Versu versions had a closed 110 l/min system. The Versu hydraulics featured 3 electrically controlled valve blocks. Versu equipment also included a SmartTouch armrest with a touchscreen and lever drive control function.

Cab and front axle suspension were available in the Comfort package. The Technology package included automatic steering and Isobus. The cab was fundamentally almost the same as in the A-series.

At the end of 2025, the range was expanded with continuously variable CVT models equipped with Agco ML75 transmissions. The top speed was 43 km/h, and it was achieved at 1500 rpm. The transmission had only one range. The G125e's Eco feature was not controlled with a button like the quick-shift models, but the automatic system took care of optimizing engine control according to the situation and load. The CVT models were available in Active or SmartTouch versions.

In the S series, the fifth generation was skipped, and in autumn 2023 the S286–S416 models were introduced. Production was moved to Finland, and the cab used in the smaller Valtro models was installed in the lineup. The 8.4-liter Agco Power engines achieved maximum power at 1850 RPM. Except for the largest model, the engines had an additional 30 hp (20 hp for the S396) above 18 km/h or when power was taken via the PTO. Unlike its predecessor, there was only one turbocharger, and exhaust gas recirculation was not required.

Unlike Fendt’s newest models, the transmission was still the ML260, which still had two ranges. The top road speed of 53 km/h was reached at 1650 RPM. The rear axle was reinforced compared to before. The hydraulics came standard with a 200 l/min output, assisted by a load-sensing system with a gear pump that could be engaged from the display. As an option, there was a dual system with one 200 l/min pump serving valves 1…3 and another serving valves 4…6. From a single valve, it was possible to get up to 170 l/min output. Again, there was a wide range of equipment options. For example, in addition to on the armrest, there were several alternative locations for the touchscreen. The instrument cluster was located in the front pillar. A more unusual feature was the TwinTrac reverse driving system.

Valtra S286-S416

In the late 1980s, Valmet became aware of the need to manufacture tractors within the EU. A factory was quickly established in Portugal, and in the spring of 1993, the Metta 4000 series was introduced, produced in Portugal, featuring five power classes ranging from 53 to 80 hp. The largest model was a four-cylinder Metta 4600, with an engine equivalent to the 665. The other models were three-cylinder. Except for the hydraulics and the intermediate frame, the Metta was technically equivalent to the Finnish 65 series, but with more modern styling. The cab was more advanced but lower. An open model was also available. A draft control system was not offered. Standard tire sizes were smaller than those of the 65 series in Finland. The Metta was mainly sold in France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal.

Steyr had a gap in its lineup for tractors of this size, and Steyr decided to have tractors similar to the Metta produced in Portugal. The Metta 4400 was renamed Steyr 667, and the 4600 became the Steyr 680. Production under the Steyr name continued until 1998. After that, the factory was shut down. The Steyr tractors had a different grille. The cab, hood, and grille were white, while the side panels were Steyr red.

Valmet Metta 4100-4600

In the fall of 1971, the 500 was replaced by the more advanced 502. At the time, its cab was the quietest on the market, and attention was also paid to the driver's working conditions. The heating system was efficient, but ventilation was inadequate. Other changes in the 502 included a longer intermediate frame, a completely new lifting device, and hydrostatic steering. Like its predecessor, the 502 had 49 horsepower. The transmission was also the familiar 6+2, with the slowest gear being fairly fast. In Sweden, there was also the 503 model, which featured a reduction gear and 30" wheels.

In 1974, the 502 received a dual hydraulic pump. The 1977 update included an increase in lifting capacity and hydraulic pressure. In 1978, a pressure filter was added to the hydraulics.

There was a big jump in the Valmet lineup from the 502 to the 702, and that gap was narrowed at the beginning of 1978 with the introduction of the new 602. The 602 had a 3.3-liter engine with a power output of 58 horsepower. Its tires were also larger than those of the 502, and the powertrain was stronger—the same as in the 78-hp Brazilian model. The 602 always had a dual clutch, and its PTO (power take-off) clutch was manually operated.

In 1979, the color of the Valmets changed to a brighter yellow, and the rear window of the cab became a single piece. In 1980, the lifting capacity was increased to 1900 kilograms. The world's first three-cylinder turbocharged tractor was the 602T (66 hp). The clutch disc in the turbo model was ceramic. Four-wheel-drive models 602-4 and 602T-4 were introduced in the summer of 1981. These were Valmet's first four-wheel-drive models that could be considered agile. The fuel tank had to be reduced even further in the four-wheel-drive models. A year later, the red 504, 604, and 604T models were introduced.

In the summer of 1985, the thoroughly revamped small models 305 and 405 were introduced. These tractors were also briefly sold under the name Volvo BM Valmet before the name was changed to Valmet. Perhaps the most significant innovation was the Brazilian 8+4 gearbox. The 405 initially came standard with a creeper gearbox, giving it 12+8 gears.
The brakes were now oil-immersed and the axles were new. A ZF front axle made the little Valmet a nimble tractor. The cab was new too, although it was built on the same frame as its predecessors. These models had 53 and 61 hp, respectively.
