The customer and salesperson design the tractor together.
There are several different model series to choose from, as
well as hundreds of different equipment choices and options.
The customer can select the ideal combination of hydraulics,
powertrain, cab, engine and other components for their
needs. Once these choices have been made, the
salesperson sends the order to the factory.

The assembly process begins by connecting the powertrain to
the midframe. Immediately afterwards, the engine and front axle
are connected to the chassis. The engines chosen by the customers
are delivered from the Sisu Diesel factory, while powertrain
assemblies are customised according to the customer’s wishes
and delivered from Valtra’s transmission plant right
next door to the tractor plant.

chassis is washed and phosphated
and then dried. In the third
phase, robots paint the chassis with
corrosion-proof black undercoating. After
this the paint is dried in 75-degree ovens and
then cooled so that the tractor can be safely
handled after being painted.
