With a single touch of the hand

The new Valtra SmartTouch operating system has received one of the most prestigious awards in the field of design — If Design Award. This award is considered a world event in the new technologies industry. In 2017, it was claimed by 6,400 participants from 54 countries.

The control system is a special SmartTouch armrest, equipped with a user interface. It allows the operator to access all the functions of the machine and control the tractor parameters.

‘SmartTouch is mounted on Valtra Tractors equipped with engines ranging from 135 hp to 405 hp’, says Dmitry Gerasimenko, Head of Kurgan branch of AgroCentre. ‘From the point of view of usability and functionality, it has no rivals.’

Valtra SmartTouch combines a comfortable armrest with a multi-function control lever, valve switches, rear clutch control and a power take-off, touch screen and control keypad making all tractor functions easily accessible to the operator. Images taken from the Auto-Guide system and from the security camera are displayed on the SmartTouch screen.

‘SmartTouch has already received two awards: If Design Award and Red Dot Award’, says Kimmo Vihinen, Head of Customer Service and Industrial Design Department at Valtra. ‘Our scientific research and experimental design work have led to the creation of a new standard in the industry.’

Valtra Tractors have also received several international awards, including Tractor of the Year 2018, Best design 2018 and Machine of the Year 2018.

The SmartTouch control interface is already available on Valtra A, N, T, S Series Tractors.
