With high engine power extremes the Valtra Q range affectionately known as the beast within closed walls simply held all the trump cards
Valtra engineers had a nickname for their powerful Q Series of tractors, they dubbed it ‘The Beast’ well before its release and were not surprised to see the judges of the much-coveted Farm Machine 2023 award succumb to the power it conveys.
Formerly known as Machine of the Year, the Farm Machine 2023 award is one of the most prestigious in agricultural engineering.
The Valtra Q Series was only launched in September 2022 as part of the latest addition to the 5th-generation lineup. The Q Series completes Valtra’s high power offering with a range of five models offering from 169 to 224kW (230 to 305hp).
The Valtra Q Series has quickly gathered industry attention for its efficient and powerful CVT-based powertrain and smart farming technology such as Valtra Guide, Variable Rate Control and SmartTurn which all come as standard.
Large-scale growers and contractors in the northern hemisphere have praised the Q Series for its manoeuvrability, and ergonomics.
Ultimately, it was the Q Series’ versatility and large-scale farming and agricultural contractor-focused approach that won over the Farm Machine 2023 jury.
Winners of the Farm Machine 2023 jury award are chosen by an international jury consisting of farm equipment journalists from over a dozen countries.
Mikko Lehikoinen, Vice President of Marketing Valtra, had this to say about the award win, “We know we have a winning machine with the Q Series. It has exactly the power, comfort, and technology large farms and contractors are looking for in a tractor of this power.
“Furthermore, we guarantee the best tractor experience for our customers with the Q Certified Dealer program.
“Q Certified dealers offer tailored financing, exceptional after-sales service, and ensure every Q Series is set up with all smart farming features right from day one.
“We are confident that the Beast will continue to impress customers and juries,” Mikko Lehikoinen concluded.
Farmers and Valtra fans can ‘greet the Beast’ at any time in the Valtra virtual Showroom.
