Valtra Launches Unlimited G5 CVT Packages
Part of the AGCO stable, Valtra is reinforcing its customisation strategy in the utility tractor segment with the launch of Unlimited G5 CVT packages.
Described as the Swiss army knife of tractors, built in Finland, the 5th generation G Series comes in G105, G115, G125E and G135 models.
Each model is available with Valtra’s familiar powershift transmission, with HiTech versions having open centre hydraulics with mechanical rear remotes and Active variants offering load sensing hydraulics.
Versu specification tractors feature the SmartTouch armrest with electronic rear remotes. A wide range of options allows tractors to be tailored to suit individual needs, while those needing a little extra bling can use the in-house Unlimited Studio to provide everything from custom paint jobs to forestry/municipal equipment fitting.
While the 4th generation was well known for operator comfort and visibility, the 5th generation takes it a step further, offering good forward visibility thanks to a short, rounded bonnet and large sunroof, with a high air intake and exhaust also hidden behind the A-pillars. Air-suspended seats, adjustable spring cab suspension and a 360-degree roof mounted A/C system makes the cabin a very comfortable workplace, combined with up to 5.7 square metres of glass. Versu models are equipped with the SmartTouch Armrest which allows easy access to all tractor settings as well as Valtra Guide and Precision Farming technologies.
A 24F+24R transmission offers four ranges and six Powershift gears, built in cooperation with GIMA in France, incorporating a heavy-duty casing that is unique to Valtra.
The G Series adopts all the control systems from the N4 and T4 series tractors, including AutoTraction (brake-to-neutral, Hill Hold, automated range shifts, kick-down and cruise control.
Versu models with the SmartTouch armrest allows the tractor to be operated by the throttle pedal or driving lever like a CVT, while using radar to deliver Automatic Slip Regulation. HiTech models offer a 100l/min, open centre hydraulic system, while Active and Versu models have load-sensing hydraulics that deliver 110l/min.
Up to 3 mechanical or 4 electronic valves are available at the rear, with up to 4 electronic mid-mount valves as an option. The rear linkage is rated to 5,000kg across the entire lifting range, rising to a maximum capacity of 6,000kg.
Power is provided by a Stage V, four-cylinder, 4.4-litre AGCO Power engine, with the G105, G115 and G125E models all offering an additional 5hp boost, while the G135’s 10hp boost allow it to achieve a maximum output of 145hp. All models also offer Sigma power to ensure maximum boost is always available based on PTO demand, even when the tractor is stationary, while extra tractive boost is available from the B5 gear, at around 6km/h and above.
