The popular Valtra A Series, twice the recipient of the Machine of the Year award, in 2017 and in 2019, is going into its 5th generation. The tractor range is now available with many new features that have been requested by customers.

The model series continues to comprise seven models to choose from, all of them available as so-called GL-models, which feature an easy-to-use mechanical transmission. The best-selling 105 and 115 horsepower models are also available with a four-step to powershift transmission. In these HiTech 4 models, the transmission is controlled electronically. All A-Series come with Valtra’s renowned shuttle transmission including the integrated handbrake.

“Operating the A Series has been made even more efficient and comfortable in many ways. Powershift gears are available on several models, the front loader armrest has also been upgraded on GL models, the four-cylinder models has five more horsepower than before, and the service interval has increased to 600 hours,”

says Marko Ojalehto, Product Marketing Specialist in charge of the new A-Series.

Over half of A Series tractors are fitted with a front loader at the factory. Accordingly, many of the upgrades have been designed to make front loader work even easier, such as the Powershift gears and updated control armrest familiar from HT4 models.

More Powershift gears and advanced engine

From now on, the three-cylinder models A75–A95 will be available with the HiTech 2 transmission featuring powershift. This will result in more efficient fieldwork and enable road transport at lower engine speeds. The HiTech 2 models have a 24 forward and 24 reverse speed transmission. In addition, all A-Series models can be equipped with Creeper, which reduces the lowest speed to approximately 100 meters an hour.

Engine power has been increased by five horsepower on four-cylinder models and now corresponds to the model designation. All engines comply with Stage V emissions standards and now feature a diesel particulate filter (DPF) in addition to SCR injection, without exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). Engine speed and power can now be controlled even more precisely thanks to a new accelerator pedal. Increasing the service interval from 500 to 600 hours saves costs while increasing the amount of productive working time.

According to current regulations, tractors need to be compatible with trailers with a dual-circuit braking system. The A-Series is available with compressed air brakes or a hydraulic trailer brake system, customers can choose their preferred option.

Featuring new innovations that are as powerful as they are practical, highlights of the G Series wheel loader line include: best-in-class breakout force, patented SCR engine technology, and an all-new cab with improved ergonomics for operator comfort.

And that’s just for starters. Designed to succeed in any specialty application, every element of the G Series wheel loader line was analyzed and engineered to work together to provide real-world benefits that exceed industry standards for the lowest total cost of ownership.

Because of their variety of applications and varying engine loads, SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology is the obvious choice for G Series wheel loaders. Rather than compromise power, SCR lets the engine do what it does best – run at peak performance.

Plus, SCR is simple. No DPF to replace. No Regeneration exhaust temperatures. No regeneration downtime.

Only CASE G Series wheel loaders let you match engine output to the task at hand with 4 power modes: ECO for maximum fuel efficiency, STANDARD for quick loading, MAX for aggressive digging and AUTO for engine output that responds on the fly.

G Series wheel loaders offer a five-speed transmission with lockup torque converter and computer-controlled clutch modulation. This efficient transmission improves acceleration, travel speeds and climbing power, and eliminates power loss — and the five-speed setup can also increase fuel savings. (Available on 621G, 721G, 821G, 921G wheel loaders.)

The cab and operating environment of the G Series wheel loaders have been completely re-engineered to provide optimal operator performance, ergonomics, and engagement with both the controls and the surrounding job site. An 8″ LCD monitor provides the loader operator with simple control and greater insight over many loader functions and activities. A one-piece rounded windshield and optimally placed mirrors, along with a rearview camera that feeds the monitor, ensure full 360° visibility. An entirely new HVAC system ensures operators stay comfortable regardless of the outside conditions.

CASE ProCare is the first all-in-one heavy machine support program that’s as powerful as the equipment it protects. Best of all, ProCare comes standard on G Series wheel loaders and keeps you covered for up to three full years. It’s the assurance growing businesses need to stay competitive, productive, and profitable.
