VALMET 6000 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Valmet 6000 tractor is powered by a robust SisuDiesel 420D diesel engine, delivering 75hp at a low rated RPM of 1450, which enhances fuel efficiency and provides ample low-end torque (213.9 lb-ft) for demanding field tasks. The engine's compression ratio of 16.5:1 allows for better thermal efficiency, meaning improved power output relative to displacement. However, the relatively low RPM may limit speed during transport, making it more suited for heavy-duty applications rather than high-speed operations.
