Introduction
Valtra T170: Technical Reference
The Valtra T170 is a row-crop tractor produced between 2002 and 2007 as part of the T-series. Designed for demanding agricultural applications, this 170 hp machine combines high-torque engine performance with a versatile transmission system and a high-capacity hydraulic setup.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Sisu Diesel 634 DSRAE 6-cylinder engine with a displacement of 7.4 liters. It features intercooled turbocharging and liquid cooling with a viscous fan. The engine delivers a gross power output of 170 hp (126.8 kW) at 2100 rated RPM, with a maximum torque of 483.1 lb-ft (655.1 Nm) achieved at 1400 RPM, providing consistent pulling power for field operations.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The T170 is equipped with a 3-speed power shift transmission featuring a power shuttle, offering a total of 36 forward and 36 reverse gears. Power is delivered to the ground via a four-wheel drive system, supported by wet disc brakes and power steering to ensure precise maneuverability and safety during heavy-duty tasks.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes load-sensing technology to optimize flow according to implement demand, providing a total flow of 23.8 gpm (90.1 lpm) at a system pressure of 2843 psi (196.0 bar). The system supports 2 to 4 valves. The rear Category III hitch offers a lift capacity of 16976 lbs (7700 kg) at the ends, suitable for large implements.
PTO and Electrical
The independent rear PTO system provides multiple operating modes: 540 RPM at 1874 engine RPM, 540E at 1539 engine RPM, and 1000 RPM at 2000 engine RPM. The electrical system operates on a 12-volt circuit with a negative ground and an alternator-based charging system.
