Valtra new C series compact tractors

In Agritechnica fair in Germany Valtra launched a new C series model that is coming to the market next spring 2004. C series is a compact tractor that has been designed especially to meet the needs of livestock farms. The C series combines power and agility to create an ideally balanced package.

The C-Series includes six new Valtra models ranging from 90 to 150 horsepower. This range includes one low-RPM model (C120) and three turbine clutch equipped models (C90, C110 and C130). The Valtra C series employs a 4.4-litre diesel engine featuring air-to-air intercooling on C110 – C150 models and viscous fan on C120 – C150 models. The tractor has been designed for easy maintenance; the engine cover lifts up, and all service inspection points are within easy reach.

The weight distribution of the C series is 39/61%, which is ideal for front-loader work. Each tyre has maintains a solid grip on the ground, even when a big Valtra 970 loader is used. A heavy-duty front axle increases the versatility of the C series, allowing a broad selection of implements to be used with the front-loader mechanism. The capabilities of the C series when used with big front-loaders are substantial.

The power shuttle on the C series is typical of all Valtra tractors: smooth yet strong enough to account for all situations. The programmability of the power shuttle is among the best on the market. The power take-off of the C series is essential equipment, especially when pulling trailers. The output of the load-sensing hydraulics is 90 litres per minute.

The cab of the C series is spacious and light, and the visibility is exceptional, especially for front-loader work. A powerful heater and ventilation system ensure the operator's comfort within the ergonomic cab. The cab is also very quiet and can be equipped with automatic air-conditioning that maintains a steady temperature in all conditions. The driver's seat rotates 180-degrees within the spacious cab, increasing comfort and efficiency especially when using grapple loaders.

The ideal weight distribution and durability of the C series combine to create a tractor that is easy to operate. The Valtra C series is agile for turning and stable for speeds as high as 50 km/h. The styling of the C series continues in Valtra's award-winning modern tradition.
