Valtra
Air bearings voted best option
Valtra, part of the Partek Group, has manufactured tractors since 1951. With the new S-series Valtra sets the benchmark for 21st century tractor technology in terms of design and features.
The customer can create a tractor that meets his needs in cooperation with the local dealer. Each tractor is manufactured according to personalised specifications.
Prior to choosing production technology for the new tractor AGV-systems, electro-hydraulic wagons, floor conveyors, railed and air film transporters were compared. The air film alternative was voted the most cost-effective, since it provided the greatest flexibility for layout changes, easy movement and accurate positioning of the 10-tonne tractor.
