Valtra Launches 6th-Generation T Series With 245 HP and FarmENGAGE Connectivity

AGCO’s Valtra brand has introduced the sixth generation of its T Series tractor line, with models ranging from 170 to 245 horsepower and a new combination of powertrain, operator interface, automation and connected-farming features. Orders opened October 1, with first deliveries expected by the end of 2026 subject to availability.

The range is built around the 7.5-litre six-cylinder AGCO Power CORE75 engine. The T236 model reaches up to 245 hp and 1,184 Nm of torque. Valtra says the new engine achieved up to 5% lower best-point specific fuel consumption than the previous AGCO Power 74HD engine in AGCO Power laboratory testing. Independent validation testing is expected by the end of 2026, so the 5% figure should be read as a manufacturer laboratory result rather than a completed independent field comparison.

SmartTouch gets a major hardware update

The new SmartTouch Gen2 interface uses a 12-inch high-resolution touchscreen and Valtra says it provides ten times the processing power of the previous system. Operators can configure work screens, store personalised operator and implement profiles and assign up to 12 configurable buttons. An alternative Active Gen2 armrest is also available for users who prefer a more conventional control layout.

Transmission choices include the AGCO ML 180 continuously variable transmission or a new 10-step powershift. Depending on specification and local road rules, transport speeds are offered at 40, 50 or 57 km/h. Maximum permissible gross vehicle weight is listed at 14,000 kg, while hydraulic flow can reach 200 litres per minute.

Connected farming is built in

The T Series is factory-ready for PTx FarmENGAGE, allowing machine data, task information, documentation and agronomic records to move between field and office. Valtra is positioning the system for mixed fleets rather than only Valtra machinery, an important distinction for contractors and farms operating equipment from several manufacturers.

Other automation features include Tractor Implement Management, Ground Speed Hydraulics and Front Linkage Control. The commercial value of those tools will depend on implement compatibility, farm workflow and the degree to which operators use the connected functions, but the direction is clear: Valtra is combining tractor controls, implement management and farm-data workflows in one operator environment.

For buyers, the most important numbers remain application-specific. Horsepower, torque, transmission choice, hydraulic demand, transport requirements, dealer support and total ownership cost will determine whether the new T Series is a fit. The sixth generation adds a substantial digital layer, but its economic case will ultimately be measured in field productivity, fuel use, uptime and resale value.
