VALTRA A72 ENGINE
The Valtra A72 is equipped with a SisuDiesel 3.3L three-cylinder engine, providing a balance between power and fuel efficiency, suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its fuel tank capacity ranges from 20.9 gallons (79.1L) for standard operations to a total of 27 gallons (102.2L) with the optional auxiliary tank, allowing for extended operational periods without refueling. This feature is advantageous for large plots or areas with limited access to fuel, though increased weight from the additional fuel may affect maneuverability in tight spaces.

TRANSMISSION
The Valtra A72 features a mechanical shuttle transmission, providing 12 forward and reverse gears across four gears in three ranges, which enhances flexibility for various field operations. The optional HiShift push-button clutch allows for smoother gear transitions, improving operator efficiency and reducing strain during frequent directional changes. Potential challenges include a steeper learning curve for operators unfamiliar with mechanical shuttles compared to power-shift systems, but its robustness may offer advantages in durability and maintenance.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Valtra A72 tractor's lightweight design (6614 to 7848 lbs) enhances maneuverability, particularly beneficial in smaller agricultural fields or when navigating tight spaces. The 2WD configuration with a short wheelbase (88.4 inches) favors superior handling in less demanding conditions, while the optional 4WD (94 inches) provides added traction on slippery or uneven terrain. However, the choice between 2WD and 4WD will impact fuel efficiency and operational costs, with 2WD being more economical but potentially less versatile in challenging landscapes.
