VALMET 405 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Valmet 405 tractor is powered by a turbocharged 2.7 L 3-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 61 hp at 2350 RPM and a torque of 162.3 lb-ft at 1450 RPM, which ensures good low-end power for tasks requiring strong pulling capability. Its 18:1 compression ratio and pre-heating intake air heater enhance cold weather performance, providing a reliable start in adverse conditions. However, the 12-volt starter system could present challenges in extremely low temperatures, potentially necessitating auxiliary starting solutions.

VALMET 405 TIRES
The Valmet 405 offers both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with 2WD delivering a lighter footprint ideal for dry, stable terrain, while 4WD enhances traction and stability on uneven or slippery surfaces. The 2WD standard tires (10.00-16 front, 16.9-30 rear) are suited for basic agricultural tasks, whereas the 4WD option with larger tires (11.2-24 front) ensures better maneuverability and power delivery. Consideration should be given to operational demands: 4WD is advantageous for heavy-duty applications and adverse conditions, whereas 2WD might be preferable for cost-efficiency in less demanding environments.
