TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Valmet 805 tractor features an 8-speed synchromesh transmission paired with a 16-speed two-speed power shift, providing versatile gear selection for varying task demands. This allows for smoother shifts and improved efficiency in both high-torque applications, such as plowing, and high-speed operations like transport. However, operators may need time to adapt to the complexities of a split transmission system, particularly in challenging terrains or when quick gear adjustments are required.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Valmet 805 tractor features an 8-speed synchromesh transmission with four synchronized gears in both low and high ranges, allowing for smoother gear shifts and optimized power delivery. The 330mm dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may require more frequent maintenance under heavy load scenarios. This configuration is advantageous for varied agricultural tasks but may challenge operator skill in mastering the range shifting for maximum efficiency.

Type synchromesh
Gears 8 forward and 4 reverse
Clutch 330mm dry disc
Description Four synchronized gears (1-4) in two ranges (low/high) plus reverse range

TRANSMISSION 2

The Valmet 805 tractor features a two-speed powershift transmission, allowing for seamless gear changes within its 16 forward and 8 reverse options, optimizing operational efficiency. This system enables increased productivity in varying field conditions by providing the operator with flexibility and control over power delivery. However, the complexity of the powershift system may introduce maintenance challenges, requiring knowledgeable personnel for optimal upkeep and repair.

MECHANICAL

The Valmet 805 tractor features a 4x2 chassis configuration, giving it excellent maneuverability in smaller fields, while the electro-hydraulic rear differential lock enhances traction in challenging terrain. The hydraulic wet disc brakes provide superior stopping power and durability, crucial for heavy-duty applications. With an 8-speed synchromesh transmission or optional 16-speed power shift, operators can achieve optimal performance across various tasks, though potential downsides could include increased complexity and maintenance requirements with the more advanced transmission system.

VALMET 805 TIRES

The Valmet 805 tractor, equipped with either 2WD or 4WD configurations, showcases versatility in agricultural applications. The 2WD variant with standard ag tires (11.00-16 front, 18.4-34 rear) offers increased maneuverability on flat terrains, but may face traction limitations in wet conditions. Conversely, the 4WD model, featuring wider front tires (14.9-24), provides superior grip and stability, optimizing performance on varied soil types, especially in challenging field conditions.

2WD Standard tires (ag) Front: 11.00-16. Rear: 18.4-34
4WD Standard tires (ag) Front: 14.9-24. Rear: 18.4-34

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Valmet 805 tractor features a robust 2WD option with a wheelbase of 93.9 inches, providing stability for heavier loads, while the 4WD variation with a slightly shorter wheelbase of 91.6 inches enhances maneuverability in tighter spaces. Weighing between 8,333 to 9,105 pounds, this tractor can effectively support diverse agricultural tasks, although the weight may affect field productivity on softer soil types. The front tire size of 11.00-16 combined with the 18.4-34 rear tire enhances traction and flotation, making it suitable for various terrains but potentially limiting speed and fuel efficiency on hard surfaces.
