New Stepless Transmission Introduced to Valtra G-Series Tractors
TraktorTech tests the Valtra G135, exploring how a new stepless transmission variant removes the need for gear shifts in the G-series range.
Eliminating gear shifts for better efficiency
The Valtra G-series, a well-known name in the agricultural machinery sector, has received a vital update. While the series itself is an established line, a brand-new transmission variant has been introduced to enhance performance and operator ease. The standout feature of this technical update is the introduction of a stepless transmission, a move designed to modernise the driving experience.
This technology allows for continuous power delivery without the interruption of traditional gear shifts. For farmers and machine operators, this means smoother transitions during heavy workloads and potentially reduced physical strain during long hours in the field. By removing the necessity for manual shifting, the machine can maintain a more consistent pace during complex agricultural tasks.
TraktorTech testing the flagship G135
To understand the practical impact of this change, TraktorTech recently put the top-of-the-range G135 model through its paces. The testing focused specifically on how the stepless transmission affects the machine's efficiency and handling compared to previous iterations of the G-series. The evaluation aimed to determine if the new mechanism provides a tangible advantage in real-world farming conditions.
The testing highlighted several key advantages for the G135 model:
- Seamless power delivery across various working speeds.
- Reduced operator intervention during field operations.
- Improved suitability for tasks requiring highly precise speed control.
- Enhanced comfort through the removal of gear-change jolts.
