Valtra has updated its “A105” and “A115” models, making them available only with an electronically controlled powershift transmission. This has improved tractor efficiency, a goal also pursued through work on the cab and digitalization systems
The Valtra “A” Series are the best-selling Finnish tractors in Italy. The range indeed covers the power levels most in demand on the national market, from 75 to 135 horsepower, and is offered with three different wheelbases, each delivering its own mix of maneuverability and stability.
As is traditional with Valtra, operators can tailor the functional content of the machines to the operational needs of each individual farm. Among the available options is the choice of transmission: either a synchronized 12+12 mechanical gearbox or a two- or four-step powershift, the latter called “HiTech 4,” which will now come standard on the “A105” and “A115” models, together with an electronic control system. When activated, this system optimizes gear ratio selection based on load and travel speed.
Overall, the transmission provides 16+16 gears—or 32+32 with creeper—split across four powershift steps and four ranges selectable via a rocker switch. On the road, it allows travel at maximum speed with reduced engine revs and integrates “AutoTraction” and Parking functions. The former allows forward and reverse movement using only the brake pedals, streamlining handling tasks performed with front loaders.
The “A105” and “A115” models also feature upgraded cab equipment. For instance, the air-conditioning system has been enhanced, the rear-view mirrors are 70 percent larger, and the electronics have been updated for ISOBUS compatibility, incorporating the full suite of precision farming solutions already available on other Valtra models. These include satellite positioning and the “Valtra Guide” automatic steering system.
The onboard hydraulics remain unchanged, delivering 98 liters per minute via an open-center, dual-pump system, but the new models come with flow-control valves as standard. Additional upgrades include a larger 200-liter fuel tank, an optional front hitch with 2,500 kg capacity, and an improved cab access system to make climbing into the driver’s seat easier.
Precision farming for all
According to Valtra, the possibility of working with precision farming should not depend on tractor size. This is confirmed by the features now offered on the “A105” and “A115” models, which can be equipped with a second “SmartTouch Extend” monitor and the complete “Valtra Guide” automatic steering system with centimeter-level accuracy.
With these options and ISOBUS-compatible electronics, the two machines can manage the entire range of Valtra smart functionalities, interact with complex implements, and be monitored remotely via the “Valtra Connect” system.
