Overview
The Valpadana 1540 is a compact 35.5 hp 4WD farm tractor built in Italy, featuring a liquid-cooled 1.6L 3-cylinder diesel engine. Its versatile design includes a 540/750 rear PTO and a choice of 12-speed or 16-speed shuttle transmissions to handle diverse agricultural tasks.
Ideal Applications
High-Clearance Row Work:
With a 13.4-inch ground clearance and a narrow 51-inch width, this tractor is well-suited for navigating tight spaces and row crops without damaging vegetation.
Precision Implement Control:
The combination of 12.6 gpm total hydraulic flow, dual rear valves, and a 2,646 lb rear lift capacity allows for the effective operation of Category I implements.
Versatile Power Delivery:
Multiple transmission speeds including a creeper option, paired with 80 lb-ft of torque at 1200 RPM, provide the necessary control for both high-torque pulling and slow-speed precision work.
