VALTRA T161 ENGINE

The Valtra T161 is powered by a robust Sisu Diesel 6.6L 6-cylinder engine, providing exceptional torque and efficiency for heavy-duty tasks. Its dual fuel tank capacity (main: 43.6 gallons, auxiliary: 44.9 gallons) ensures extended operational time, reducing downtime for refueling in demanding agricultural or construction environments. However, the significant weight and size of the tractor may challenge maneuverability in tighter spaces, necessitating careful consideration of the worksite layout.

TRANSMISSION

The Valtra T161 tractor features a robust transmission system with 36 forward and reverse gears, providing exceptional versatility in various applications, from field work to transport. This extensive gearing allows for fine control of speed and power, advantageous in precision tasks such as tillage or loader work. However, the complexity of gear selection may pose a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-speed systems, particularly in high-demand scenarios.

Gears 36 forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Valtra T161 features a 4x4 MFWD chassis, providing enhanced traction and stability, particularly in challenging terrain. Its hydrostatic power steering improves maneuverability and operator comfort, while the hydraulic disc brakes contribute to efficient stopping power under varying loads. The 36-speed transmission allows for precise speed control and adaptability across diverse field operations, making it ideal for both heavy-duty tasks and more delicate fieldwork scenarios.
