Valtra has launched an updated G Series range of tractors, equipped with a continuously variable transmission, offered alongside the standard powershift box.
Sitting at the top of the range is the G125, powered by a four-cylinder AgcoPower engine with a rated power of 120hp, increasing to 130hp with boost. Torque levels are set at 540Nm, which is available at 1,500rpm. The gearbox also comes from Agco, with the ML75 fitted, offering a top speed of 43kph.
The reason for the gearbox change is ease of use, according to the company. Operators can simply jump in the cab and select the direction with the shuttle, with full speed control available via the armrest or the pedal. Two cruising speeds can be set, as well as an engine speed, and the combination of the transmission and engine work automatically to find the most economical settings.
The rest of the tractor will be familiar to Valtra users, with a large, easy-to-access cabin with three wide steps and a handrail up to the door. The hydraulics package includes a closed-centre, load-sensing pump producing 110 litres/min with up to eight mechanical or electronic valves across the front and rear of the machine.
Mechanical cab suspension and hydraulic front axle suspension are available, and the G Series can be specified with the full Valtra Smart Farming suite, including automatic field recognition, Isobus compatibility, auto guidance, section control and variable rate.
