ENGINE DETAIL

The Valmet 1502 tractor, powered by a turbocharged Valmet 611 CS diesel engine, offers a robust 136 hp (101.4 kW) and high torque of 405 lb-ft (549.2 Nm) at 1650 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks such as plowing and hauling. Its 6.6L displacement and optimized bore/stroke dimensions (4.252x4.724 inches) ensure efficient fuel combustion, enhancing performance and operational efficiency. However, the reliance on turbocharging may introduce complexity in engine maintenance and increased susceptibility to overheating if not properly managed, particularly in prolonged heavy-load scenarios.

TRANSMISSION

The Valmet 1502's 16 forward and 4 reverse gear configuration offers a wide range of speed and torque options, enhancing its versatility for various agricultural and forestry applications. While this multirange gearbox allows precise speed control, it can pose a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with complex gear systems. This tractor is well-suited for tasks requiring frequent direction changes, such as loading or maneuvering in tight spaces.
