ENGINE DETAIL

The Valmet 700 tractor is powered by a Sisu 320 DSRE turbocharged diesel engine, featuring a compact 3-cylinder design with a displacement of 3.3L. It delivers a robust 70hp at 2270 RPM and generates peak torque of 214 lb-ft at a lower 1400 RPM, which enhances its suitability for tasks requiring high torque at lower speeds, such as plowing or heavy hauling. However, its relatively moderate power output may limit its performance in more demanding agricultural applications or on steeper terrains compared to higher-powered models.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Valmet 700 tractor features an 8-speed synchromesh transmission, providing smooth shifts and enhanced control, coupled with a 16-speed splitter for optimal power distribution during various tasks. Additionally, the 12-speed creeper option allows for incredibly low-speed operation, beneficial for precision work such as planting or tilling. A potential challenge could be the complexity of the transmission system, requiring knowledgeable operators for proper maintenance and efficient use.
