VALTRA S324 ENGINE

The Valtra S324 is powered by an AGCO Power 8.4L six-cylinder diesel engine, offering robust performance suitable for heavy-duty applications. With a substantial fuel tank capacity of 166.4 gallons (629.8L), it minimizes refueling stops during extended operations, while the 15.9-gallon (60.2L) DEF tank supports compliance with emissions regulations. However, operators should monitor DEF levels closely to avoid interruptions in power due to SCR system demands, especially in high-load scenarios.

TRANSMISSION

The Valtra S324 features a continuously-variable transmission (CVT) that provides infinite forward and reverse gears, enhancing operator control and precision during tasks. This allows for seamless speed adjustments, maximizing fuel efficiency and minimizing engine strain under varying load conditions. However, while CVTs offer smoother operation, they may involve higher initial costs and complex maintenance requirements compared to traditional gear systems.

Gears infinite forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Valtra S324 features a 4x4 MFWD chassis, providing enhanced traction and stability in various field conditions, notably beneficial for heavy-duty tasks and uneven terrains. Its hydraulic wet disc brakes ensure superior stopping power and reduced maintenance compared to traditional systems, while the continuously-variable transmission (CVT) allows for seamless speed adjustments, maximizing operational efficiency. The air-conditioned cab improves operator comfort, making it suitable for prolonged use in challenging environments.
