ENGINE DETAIL

The Valmet 6850 tractor boasts a robust Valmet 420 DWRIE turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 4.4L, delivering 118 hp and 361.4 lb-ft of torque at a rated RPM of 2200 and maximum torque at 1400 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. Its 12V electric starter ensures reliable performance in various conditions, although the high torque at lower RPMs is advantageous for plowing and tilling tasks, potentially leading to increased fuel consumption in prolonged operations. Prospective owners should consider its efficient torque delivery for fieldwork but be aware of maintenance complexities associated with turbocharged systems.

VALMET 6850 TIRES

The Valmet 6850 tractor, equipped with standard agricultural tires (Front: 14.9R28, Rear: 18.4R38), offers a solid balance of traction and stability for medium-weight operations. Upgrading to optional tires (Front: 480/65R28, Rear: 600/65R38) enhances flotation and reduces soil compaction, making it suitable for heavy tillage or high-horsepower applications. However, larger tires may affect overall maneuverability and require adjustments in power-to-weight ratios to maintain optimal performance.
