service manufacturer and distributor of agricultural and precision ag technology announced completion of the expansion of Valtra’s Suolahti (Finland) transmission plant which is part of Valtra’s $38 million investment project adds thousands of square meters of new production space that will enable the production of new AGCO continuously variable transmissions (CVT) at the facility the factory produces gearboxes for the Valtra N and T Series tractors and supplies transmissions for the South American market and components for other AGCO production facilities The introduction of the new Valtra Q and S Series gearbox test bench will facilitate the production of higher-performance tractors and meet growing customer demand “Our Suolahti plant plays a critical role in AGCO’s global manufacturing network for tractors and components,” said Tim Millwood “The completion of the CVT expansion in Suolahti enables us to meet the growing demand for not only AGCO CVT’s for Valtra but also AGCO’s other leading brands.” The expansion was designed using a digital twin a real-time virtual replica of the entire production facility This enabled the simulation of production efficiency which AGCO said allows production to start directly at the optimum level “This investment will allow us to double our transmission capacity and bring new expertise to the Valtra lineup of tractors,” said Kullervo Mansikkala “We are improving the safety and working environment for our team through increased automation and precision machining which will provide a cleaner and quieter workplace.” The

Services Download Media Kits Finnish Valtra, a globally operating tractor manufacturer belonging to AGCO Corporation, has reached a significant milestone by having used altogether 5 million liters of Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ as a factory-fill fuel as well as in testing and in its factory forklift trucks at its Suolahti factory in Finland By replacing fossil fuel with Neste’s renewable diesel Valtra has prevented over 15 000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere The amount is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the use of fossil fuel in a Valtra T Series tractor continuously for 390,000 hours at 30 to 40% engine load when all emissions over the life cycle of the fuel are taken into account.* Neste and Valtra have collaborated since 2017 when Valtra became the first tractor factory in the world to fill its new tractors with Neste MY Renewable Diesel that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75% or up to 95%** over the fuel’s life cycle when compared to fossil diesel.  Neste MY Renewable Diesel is a fuel made from 100% renewable raw materials such as used cooking oil and animal fat from food industry waste waste management and the efficient use of resources With our decision to switch to Neste MY Renewable Diesel as the first fill fuel we have reduced our own emissions and shown our customers that their tractors can run on renewable diesel Also older Valtra tractors run well on renewable diesel,” says Mikko Lehikoinen “Neste’s target is to help its customers reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20 million tons annually by 2030 I’m proud of our long-standing partnership and Neste MY Renewable Diesel supporting Valtra’s emission reduction targets which also helps increase the awareness of Neste MY Renewable Diesel as a lower-emission solution among farmers we expanded our collaboration when we joined the Finnish Future Farm project a three-year EU-funded program taking place at the bioeconomy campus in Saarijärvi The program enables the use and development of solutions that minimize greenhouse gas emissions and improve economic profitability of arable farming of grass and grain

tractor range The award comes two years on from Valtra bringing its production home to Suolahti in Finland from the Massey Ferguson plant in Beauvais in France at a time when the previous generation S Series was based on the Massey Ferguson 8700 series The Good Design Awards honour the best industrial designers and manufacturers for extraordinary design excellence Valtra’s latest flagship S Series – which carries the nickname within Valtra circles as ‘The Boss’ – was first launched to the public at Agritechnica in 2023 the Finnish tractor brand celebrated delivering the first 50 sixth-generation S Series to customers with a special event held at their brand home factory in Suolahti With production of the S Series now back in Finland customers can avail of the Valtra Unlimited Studio This is the beginning of a new chapter for the S Series as all models are now built in Valtra’s Finnish factory Valtra EME's vice president sales and marketing underscores the importance of winning this prestigious award “We are delighted to win the Good Design Award 2024 for the S6,” Tiitinen said “It’s a great testament to the high-quality form and function of the S Series We have invested heavily in our Suolahti factory to ensure the high-quality and sustainability of the sixth-generation S Series “We know our customers in the high horsepower segment are looking for a powerful and technologically advanced tractor that ensures peak performance for their business The Good Design Award really emphasises the design performance and quality customers can expect when investing in their new S Series,” Tiininen added Another advantage of taking production home to Finland is that customers of the new S Series can avail of the Valtra Unlimited Studio to individually customise and enhance the comfort All of these customisations can be explored in Valtra’s online virtual showroom through its interactive 3D configurator a platform for which it was a finalist in the Gartner

Finnish beginnings The flagship range escalates from being essentially an outlier having little in common with the rest of the line up to now fitting into the Valtra architecture and at the same time pioneering the sixth generation lifecycle The S416 not only leads the pack with 420hp but is the most powerful tractor built by Valtra production of the S6 now returns home to Suolahti the unveiling of the S6 was equally as much as a homecoming celebration as it was a launch of a global tractor series the first generation S Series was built from 1999 to 2001 in Suolahti before AGCO acquired the Nordic tractor manufacturer S3 and outgoing S4 generations being heavily based on the Massey Ferguson 8700S platform and built in its Beauvais plant in France The move back to Soulahti has been a long time coming and the result of significant investments within the Nordic tractor plant to both increase capacity and accommodate the larger S Series chassis fully robotic paint shop that not only claims a better finish but reductions in tack time and the possibility of further future expansion.The new paint shop at Suolahti allows for increased throughput With the new paint shop solving production bottle necks senior management outlined that the transmission machining and assembly area was next in line for improvement The facility is currently undergoing expansion in order to accommodate the assembly of the shared AGCO ML 260 CVT transmission for its S and Q Series Fendt solely built these units in Marktoberdorf Initially built for its own 900 Vario models and more recently for its sister companies and third party customers is the firm’s most powerful tractor range to date This latest variant sheds its twin-turbo setup to one single turbo now due to an improved emission-after-treatment system there is no longer need for an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) leaving the engine now operating at a slightly lower temperature AdBlue usage has fractionally increased with a greater reliance also placed on the DOC and essentially the rest of the exhaust-after-treatment system the S1 first built in 1999 was the first tractor series to pass down the Suolahti production line fitted with an EGR 420hp (see Table 1) and S376 have a 30hp power boost The flagship S416 churns out a constant 420hp the sixth gen tractors boast a 5% power output increase 9% torque increase and a 3% decrease in fuel consumption Coupled to the revised power unit is the proven AGCO ML 260 This two-range (range one 0-28km/h) box has a top speed of 53km/h Although the same unit as that is found in the Q Series and the PTO have all been reinforced to withstand the additional power and torque of the Boss The proven ML 260 transmission for the Q and S will be assembled in Suolahti going forward Front- and rear-lift capacities go unchanged from before at 12,500kg on the rear linkage and 5,400kg on the front linkage UK and Irish models remain fitted with the Irish built The weight distribution of the S Series is split 48/54 percentage to the front and rear axles The base weight can be increased by up to 2,300kg on the front and 1,500kg on each rear wheel taking its maximum gross permissible weight to 16,000kg at 50km/h The hydraulic system has been the subject of a major overhaul Base models feature a 200l/min load-sensing piston pump and up to six spools and a power beyond connection An Eco function provides the full 200l/min at just 1,650rpm by engaging a second 80l/min gear pump the maximum flow is achieved using the primary pump at 1,950rpm A second 200l/min load-sensing pump can be fitted This configuration is only available with six spools five of which have outputs of 140l/min and one of 170l/min If a second 200l/min load-sensing hydraulic pump is added with a spacious locker moulded into the fuel tanks The S6 adopts the all-familiar cab of the Q and T Series which is arguably a big improvement on the previous MF cab Some changes have been made to the cabin for the S6 access has been improved and an increased number of LED work lights have been fitted The launch model was equipped with dual colour Not only can the colour be changed from a cool white to warm yellow incandescent tone but every light can be turned on/off individually An increased number of work lights have been fitted to the S Series having S Series production back home in Soulahti is that the Unlimited Studio can be availed of are just a flavour of what can be fitted through the facility Senior management staff outlined that the uptake rate of the Unlimited Studio increases proportionally in accordance to tractor series Through the Unlimited Studio any additonal extra's or accessories can be fitted such as a central lubrication system 80% of Irish and UK Q Series tractors are fitted with add-ons from the Unlimited Studio which is expected to be the same or more with the S6 The S Series now adopts the familiar Q and T Series cab the new S6 really fits into the brand’s current tractor portfolio given that it marks the start of the sixth generation lifecycle it has gone from being the long-in-the-tooth to now fitting into the family and paving the way forward it feels exceptionally compact for a tractor pushing out 420hp Whether it’s down to the front-sloping bonnet or not the environment is identical to the T5 and Q5 ranges and is top class we wondered did it warrant a slightly larger The front-sloping bonnet leaves the S6 feeling compact and nimble the S6 is a cracking tractor with a proven recipe for success underneath coupled with the ability to be fully customised in the Unlimited Studio – meaning the new S Series has the potential to be a real competitor within its power band While there were no new S4 tractors registered in Ireland and an annual number below 30 in the UK we believe the S6 will greatly improve on this now that it’s purely Valtra DNA underneath The out-going French-built S4 generation was based on the MF 8700S series
