Valtra introduces the 5th generation of its A-series tractors

Over the past three years, more than 5,000 units of the 4th-generation A-series tractor have been built at the Suolahti plant in Finland. The A series has twice won the “Machine of the Year” award, in 2017 and 2019. Now the Valtra brand introduces a new 5th-generation A-series tractor, with a range of new features requested by customers.

The series consists of 7 models, all available in so-called GL versions, which have an easy-to-use mechanical transmission.

The best-selling 105 hp and 115 hp models are also available with a 4-speed power-shift gearbox. These models are fitted with the electronically controlled HiTech 4 transmission. All A-series models come with Valtra’s well-known shuttle transmission, including an integrated parking brake.

“Operating the A series has become even more efficient and comfortable in many respects. Power-shift transmissions are available on several models, the front-loader armrest has also been upgraded on GL models, the 4-cylinder models get 5 hp more than before, and the service interval has been extended to 600 hours,” said Marko Oijalehto, product marketing specialist for the new Valtra A series.

More than half of A-series tractors come fitted with a front loader straight from the factory. Accordingly, most of the improvements were designed to make front-loader work even easier, such as the Powershift gearbox and an updated control armrest, compatible with HT4 models.

More power-shift gears and an improved engine

From now on, the 3-cylinder A75-A95 models will be available with the power-shift HiTech 2 transmission. This will boost fieldwork efficiency and make it possible to travel on roads at lower engine revs. HiTech 2 models come fitted with a transmission offering 24 forward and 24 reverse gears respectively. In addition, all A-series models can be fitted with the Creeper system, which lowers minimum speed to around 0.1 km/h.

On the 4-cylinder models, engine power was increased by 5 hp, now matching the model designation. All engines meet Stage V emissions standards and are fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) in addition to the SCR injection system, without exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR). Engine speed and power can now be adjusted even more precisely thanks to a new accelerator pedal. Extending the service interval from 500 hours to 600 hours saves costs and increases productive working time.

Under current regulations, tractors must be compatible with trailers fitted with a dual-circuit braking system. A-series tractors come with pneumatic brakes or a hydraulic trailer braking system, and customers can choose whichever option suits them best.
