Valtra is making its sixth generation range topper, the S6, 'more Valtra'. Although it will continue to share its underpinnings with Massey’s equally new 9S, the six-model tractor range will once again be built at Suolahti in Finland rather than rolling out the door at Beauvais.
The engine, transmission, axles, linkage and hydraulics are part of this common platform, but the more in-your-face elements such as styling, user interfaces and controls, including the multifunction sticks, are brand-specific.
420hp range topper
When you first see the new S-series, the initialtractor packing over 400hp. It just appears to be a slightly beefier version of the Q-series, no doubt in part down to the fact that it dons the same four-pillar cab from the 230-305hp range introduced in late-2022.
