Tractor-Bolide

The upgraded N and T Series tractors were presented at Agritechnica – 2015 exhibition. One of the models, the Valtra T234, showed itself in quite an extraordinary light.

130.165 km/h is the speed record set by the Valtra T234 tractor (247 hp) driven by Juha Kankkunen, a multiple winner of the World Rally Championship, on the snow-covered track in Northern Finland.

Juha Kankkunen had tested the top speed of several vehicles before, however, it was the first time he had driven a tractor. The champion was quite happy with his racing ‘bolide’ including its comfortable ergonomic cab. The clients of AgroCentre also had a chance to take the champion’s place during the visit to the Agritechnica – 2015. The ‘racing’ Valtra T234 was proudly displayed at AGCO booth.
