AGCO launches The 6th generation of its finnish tractor Valtra.

AGCO launches The 6th generation of its finnish tractor Valtra. | Published on: Oct 2, 2026 The 6th-generation Valtra T Series introduces SmartTouch Gen2, featuring an impressive 22 second boot up, 12-inch high-resolution touchscreen, configurable work screens (up to 16 different quadrants can be customised), personalised operator and task profiles, and up to 12 configurable buttons. Functions can be organised according to individual preferences, while integrated guidance, ISOBUS and implement management features help streamline daily work. A new integrated help function with expandable information and scannable QR codes reduces the learning curve for new operators. The 6th-generation Valtra T Series is also available with the new Active Gen2 armrest. Active Gen2 provides a straightforward, intuitive control layout with dedicated controls, and configurable functions, giving operators quick access to key tractor functions. Whether customers choose SmartTouch Gen2 or Active Gen2, the goal remains the same: a tractor that feels familiar from the first day and allows operators to work efficiently with minimal training. Both operating interfaces automatically and instantly sync with the A-Pilar display, keeping important information easily within eye line. Connected farming from the factory The 6th-generation Valtra T Series is factory-ready for PTx FarmENGAGE, giving customers new ways to manage machine data, planning, and communication between office and field. Operators can transfer tasks, documentation and agronomic information more easily, helping improve efficiency across the entire farming operation - even for mixed fleets. Additional automation features such as Tractor Implement Management, Ground Speed Hydraulics and Front Linkage Control help improve consistency, reduce operator workload and optimise machine performance in demanding applications. "The new 6th-generation Valtra T Series combines intelligent controls, strong low-rpm performance and connected farming tools in a way that makes work feel more natural and intuitive for the operator," says Johan Grotell, Manager Product Marketing, Valtra EME. "The machine adapts to different drivers, tasks and implements, helping customers achieve the benefits of advanced technology. With FarmENGAGE the T Series launches an era of true ecosystems where machine, implement, farm management, and data flow freely across the whole farm, no matter the manufacturer. All this makes the new T Series a contractor's and professional farmer's machine of dreams." Customers can order the 6th-generation T Series from the 1st of October with the first deliveries expected by the end of the year (subject to availability). Technical highlights *AGCO Power CORE75 7.5-litre six-cylinder engine *Power outputs from 170 hp to 245 hp *Up to 1,184 Nm maximum torque *Up to 5% lower best-point specific fuel consumption (SFC) compared with the previous 74HD Engine, based on AGCO Power laboratory testing *SmartTouch Gen2 with high-resolution 12-inch touchscreen *Transport speeds of 40, 50 or 57 km/h depending on specification, subject to local road traffic regulations Up to 200 l/min hydraulic flow *Up to 14,000 kg maximum permissible gross vehicle weight *Factory-ready PTx FarmENGAGE connectivity About AGCO AGCO (NYSE: AGCO) is a global leader in agricultural machinery and precision agriculture technologies.
