Engine 237hp / 176.7kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The Valtra S232 features a robust SisuDiesel 84 CTA 6-cylinder engine with a significant torque output of 874 lb-ft at 1400 RPM, making it ideal for heavy-tillage applications and high-draft tasks. With a maximum power of 266hp, it delivers excellent performance for large-scale farming operations, although the turbocharged and intercooled setup may require careful management of cooling and fuel efficiency. The 12-volt electric starter system enhances reliability, but it's essential to ensure proper battery maintenance to prevent potential starting issues in colder conditions.

VALTRA S232 ENGINE

The Valtra S232 is powered by a robust SisuDiesel 8.4L six-cylinder engine, offering high torque and efficiency for demanding agricultural tasks. With a substantial fuel tank capacity of 155.9 gallons, it optimizes operational range, ideal for extended fieldwork without frequent refueling. However, handling a DEF capacity of 7.9 gallons requires awareness of emissions regulations, as timely refills are essential to maintain compliance with Tier 4 Final standards.

TRANSMISSION

The Valtra S232 features an advanced continuously-variable transmission (CVT) that offers infinite forward and reverse gears, enhancing operational efficiency in various agricultural tasks. The primary advantage of CVT is its seamless power delivery and improved fuel efficiency, particularly in variable load scenarios like plowing or tilling. However, the complexity of CVT systems can pose challenges in maintenance and repair compared to traditional gear-based transmissions, potentially leading to higher long-term service costs.

Gears infinite forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Valtra S232 features a 4x4 MFWD chassis, providing excellent traction and agility in diverse terrain conditions. Its continuously-variable transmission (CVT) enhances fuel efficiency and allows for smooth acceleration, making it ideal for both fieldwork and transport operations. The hydraulic wet disc brakes offer superior stopping power, while the air-conditioned cab ensures operator comfort during extended use, which can significantly boost productivity on long working days.

VALTRA S232 TIRES

The Valtra S232 equipped with front tires of 600/70R28 and rear tires of 650/85R38 offers enhanced traction and stability, especially in agricultural applications where terrain variability is a concern. This tire configuration optimizes load distribution, improving soil compaction while ensuring effective power transfer to the ground. However, the larger tire size may limit maneuverability in narrow fields or tight spaces, which can be a challenge in specific operational scenarios.
