VALMET 305 ENGINE
The Valmet 305 tractor is powered by a 2.7L 3-cylinder diesel engine, which offers a compact design that enhances efficiency while providing adequate power for various agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 19.3 gallons (73.1 liters), this model allows for extended operation between refueling, making it suitable for larger fields or prolonged tasks. However, its smaller engine may limit high-speed performance on rough terrain compared to larger tractors, so it's best utilized in moderate-duty applications.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Valmet 305 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 4-speed reverse transmission, enhancing versatility for various tasks. Its 280mm dry disc clutch offers increased durability but may require more effort during operation compared to hydraulic clutches. Ideal for applications needing controlled speed and torque, such as tilling or hauling, the two-range gear system enhances operational efficiency in diverse field conditions.
