machinery Valtra’s smart front-loader Valtra’s extensive experience with factory-fitted front loaders culminates this year in a completely new front-loader control experience. Together with its fifth generation of tractors, Valtra is launching the completely new Precision Lift & Load app for G, N and T Series SmartTouch models. Precision Lift & Load takes front-loader work to a new level and further strengthens Valtra’s position as the ideal front-loader tractor and developer of easy-touse technology solutions. The new app enables the tractor operator to use and measure loading tasks in a completely new way. The precision of work is significantly enhanced by the loader scale function, which weighs the loads of different materials, such as the weight of hay bales when feeding livestock. The app collects weighing data, and once the task has been completed, the operator can transfer the data to an Excel spreadsheet for invoicing purposes. The app also enhances work productivity and safety, as the
upper and lower limits for loader movements and the maximum angles can be set, stopping the loader automatically when the limits are reached. There is also an easy-to-use shake function that helps the operator ensure that no materials remain in the bucket such as wet snow or sand.
These new features make front-loader work even easier, more efficient, more comfortable and, most importantly, safer. The app is operated from the touchscreen on the award-winning SmartTouch armrest and does not require any separate controls or displays. Adjusting the settings of the Precision Lift & Load app is
easier than using a smartphone, so the operator can relax and enjoy the work while the tractor automatically takes care of all the front-loader settings. Precision Lift & Load functions for different frontloader tasks can be saved as profiles in the SmartTouch interface.
