The Valtra S Series, introduced in 2008, was the first agricultural tractor in the world to feature SCR technology to clean exhaust emissions. Now the S Series has entered its third generation, as denoted by the last number in the model designation.
The new models are the S233 (270hp), S263 (295hp), S293 (320hp), S323 (350hp) and S353 (370hp). The torque ratings of the tractors have also been increased, while cab noise has been reduced from 71 to 70 decibels. Engine cooling has been improved to allow the tractors to be used under even higher loads and in extremely hot conditions.
The S Series has been designed for contractors and farmers who put in long days of work. The new 630-litre fuel tank increases range, while the volume of the AdBlue tank has been increased to 60 litres. Depending on the task and conditions, it’s no longer necessary to top up the AdBlue tank every time fuel is added.
The new catalytic converters are situated inside the exhaust pipe, which has a new oval design to improve visibility. The S353 and S323 models come as standard with a heavy-duty front axle, that is also optionally available on smaller S Series models. The brake system has also been improved with a new anti-freeze system.

The new S Series is available from the factory Auto-Steering ready, or with a complete System 150 Auto-Steering package that, with help of satellite navigation, can steer the tractor with an accuracy of just a few centimetres.
The factory-fitted Agcommand system is a vehicle-tracking and data recording tool that monitors tractor location, operation and efficiency. Agcommand-equipped tractors can be monitored on the internet by the tractor owner or service dealer.
