TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Valmet 465 tractor's 8-speed transmission provides versatility for various field tasks, while the optional 12-speed creeper gear enhances low-speed operation for precision activities such as tilling or planting. This dual transmission setup facilitates efficient power management and can lead to improved fuel efficiency. However, operators must be trained to effectively utilize the creeper gear, as improper use could lead to excessive wear on components in demanding applications.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Valmet 465 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 4-speed reverse transmission with a two-range gearbox, providing flexibility for varying field conditions. The low/high range allows for optimal torque management in demanding scenarios, such as plowing or hauling heavy loads. However, the limited gear ratios could be a disadvantage for high-speed transport applications, which may require a greater variety of gear selections.

Gears 8 forward and 4 reverse
Description Four gears (1-4) in two ranges (low/high) plus reverse range

TRANSMISSION 2

The Valmet 465 tractor's creeper option enhances versatility, providing a total of 12 forward and 8 reverse gears, ideal for precision tasks such as tilling or planting in tight spaces. The additional four creeper speeds allow for better control at lower speeds, making it suitable for operations requiring close maneuvering. This feature, however, may increase complexity in gear selection, which could pose a learning curve for operators.

VALMET 465 TIRES

The Valmet 465 tractor offers two configurations: a 2WD with standard agricultural tires suited for flat terrains, providing enhanced maneuverability but limited traction on slopes. In contrast, the 4WD setup enhances stability and traction, particularly in challenging soil conditions or hilly landscapes, thanks to the larger tire sizes that improve ground contact. When considering operational use, the choice between 2WD and 4WD should be based on terrain type and intended agricultural tasks to maximize efficiency and performance.
