VALMET 6550 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Valmet 6550 tractor's turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine provides a robust power output of 98.6 hp with a displacement of 4.4L, ensuring effective performance across various agricultural applications. Its peak torque of 317.2 lb-ft at 1400 RPM offers strong pulling capability, particularly beneficial for heavy tillage or hauling tasks. However, the 2200 RPM rated speed may limit high-speed operations, making it ideal for low to medium-speed farming scenarios where torque is prioritized.

VALMET 6550 TIRES
The Valmet 6550 tractor can be equipped with standard tires of 13.6R28 front and 16.9R38 rear, providing good ground clearance and traction for general agricultural tasks. Optional tire sizes 440/65R28 and 540/65R38 offer enhanced flotation and stability, reducing soil compaction in sensitive applications or uneven terrains. Consideration of tire choice is essential; larger tires improve performance on marginal soils but may affect maneuverability and power-to-weight ratio.
