VALPADANA 1650 ENGINE

The Valpadana 1650 is powered by a robust 2.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient fuel combustion for agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 13.21 gallons (50.0 liters), it offers extended operational runtime, making it suitable for medium-sized farms where longer intervals between refueling are advantageous. However, operators must be mindful of the weight distribution and maneuverability in tight spaces due to the potentially heavier fuel load.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Valpadana 1650 tractor's 12-speed or 16-speed transmission offers enhanced torque management and operational versatility, allowing for optimal performance across various terrains. The increased gear options facilitate improved fuel efficiency and power delivery, but may require a steeper learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multirange systems. Ideal for diversified agricultural applications, the choice between 12-speed and 16-speed should consider the specific operational needs and field conditions.

Description 12-speed / 16-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The Valpadana 1650 tractor features a shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, allowing for precise speed control and direction changes, ideal for diverse agricultural tasks. This multi-range capability enhances operational efficiency, particularly in tasks like plowing and tilling where quick directional changes are essential. However, the complexity of the gear system may require more maintenance and operator skill compared to simpler transmission designs.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Valpadana 1650 tractor features a shuttle transmission with a creeper gear option, providing excellent versatility for various agricultural tasks. Its 16 forward and reverse gears allow for precise speed control, enabling effective handling of different terrains and conditions. The advantage of this setup is improved maneuverability in tight spaces, although the complexity of the transmission system may require more maintenance and operator skill.

TRANSMISSION 3

The Valpadana 1650 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed control and improved maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces or on varying terrain. Its infinite 3-range system allows for versatile operational scenarios, optimizing performance for tasks ranging from tilling to hauling. However, hydrostatic systems may have a higher initial cost and maintenance needs compared to traditional mechanical transmissions.

VALPADANA 1650 TIRES

The Valpadana 1650 tractor is equipped with agricultural tires sized 280/70-16 at the front and 360/70-20 at the rear, which provide enhanced traction and stability on varied terrain. The larger rear tires improve load-bearing capabilities and facilitate better power transfer during operation. However, the narrow front tires may pose challenges in lateral stability during high torque applications, necessitating careful handling in hilly or uneven fields.
