(models sold may vary in different marketing areas)
This Operator’s Manual is primarily intended for drivers of VALTRA power
shuttle tractors.
The manual contains detailed instructions for driving, operating and
maintaining the tractor. Make sure your new tractor is always handled and
maintained in the correct way which will ensure reliability and provide
economical operation for many years. You can also get more information from
Valtra Internet pages (www.valtra.com) about e.g. how to use the transmission
and driving.
This Operator’s Manual is only for agricultural tractors. If the tractor is used for
other applications, it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure compliance
with local regulations. In this case always contact your Valtra dealer first.
In this manual, information which refers to more than one model is given as
(e.g. N101h--N141h this refers to the models N101hCR, N111ehCR, N121h and
N141h.
Alternative equipment in the book means equipment, which can be selected
when ordering the tractor. This equipment can not easily be fitted at a later
time to the tractor. Extra equipment means the equipment, which can be
bought and mounted at a later time to the tractor.
We recommend that you read the manual thoroughly. Follow the maintenance
program carefully and include the daily maintenance in your normal routine.
Maintenance, repairs and adjustments which are not described in this
Operator’s Manual require the use of special tools and exact technical data.
For such work you should contact your dealer who has specially trained
personnel to help you. Only use genuine Valtra spare parts for optimum
performance from your tractor. You should order spare parts according to the
instructions given in the illustrated parts catalogue.
Due to the continual development of Valtra products, the content of this manual
may not always correspond to the new product. Therefore, we retain the right
to make alterations without prior notification.
Please note: when using the tractor you must always follow all
valid laws and regulations even, if they are not specifically
pointed out in this manual.

 B. Safety precautions
B 1. Safety rules
This section summarizes the regulations which must
always be followed when working with the tractor.
However, these regulations do not exempt the driver from
statutory and other national regulations as regards traffic
safety and occupational health and safety.
Safety regulations applicable for different types of working
sites and existing road traffic laws must always be
followed.
When designing the tractor priority was given to the safety
of the operator. Steps and handles have been placed with
ease of entry into the cab in mind. The tractor has several
safety features eg: guards for belts and pulleys etc.
1 Danger, Warning, Caution --- Whenever you see the
words and symbols shown below, used in this book and
on decals, you MUST take note of their instructions as
they relate to personal safety.
DANGER: This symbol together with the
word DANGER indicates an imminently
hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will
result in DEATH OR VERY SERIOUS
INJURY.
WARNING: This symbol together with the
word WARNING indicates a potentially
hazardous situation that if not avoided
could result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
CAUTION: This symbol together with the
word CAUTION is used to indicate a
potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, may result in MINOR INJURY.
IMPORTANT: The word IMPORTANT is used to identify
special instructions or procedures which, if not strictly
observed, could result in damage to, or destruction of the
machine, process or its surroundings.
NOTE: The word NOTE is used to indicate points of
particular interest for more efficient and convenient repair
or operation.
Decals
WARNING: DO NOT remove or obscure
Danger, Warning, Caution or Instruction
Decals. Replace any Danger, Warning,
Caution or Instruction Decals that are not
readable or are missing. Replacement
decals are available from your Dealer in the
event of loss or damage. The actual location
of these Safety Decals is illustrated at the
end of this section.
2 Tractor construction --- The tractor construction must
not be changed (f.ex. max. driving speed, max. power
etc.)
The tractor is type approved to comply with construction
and use regulations. Any changes to the tractor may redu-
ce the safety and durability and affect the warranty terms.
---7---
3 Brakes --- Always check that the brakes are operating
correctly before moving. The brake pedals should be
locked together when driving on the road. Extensive
repairs to the braking system should be undertaken only
by Valtra approved service personnel.
When implements or ballast weights are front end
mounted the rear axle loading is decreased:
---In these circumstances the driver should check that the
rear brakes are still effective.
---When needed use opposite ballast weights at rear
4 Children and the tractor --- Never allow children in the
cab or near the tractor or an attached implement while the
engine is running. Always lower the implement to the
ground when leaving the tractor.
1
2 A6181---8
5 Roof hatch (extra equipment)--- Open the hatch by
pulling the knob 1 on the handle forwards and pushing
the hatch upwards.
To open the hatch fully (for emergency exit) detach the
gas spring upper end 2 from its fastener and push the
hatch fully open.
WARNING: When driving on ice it is
recommended to keep the roof hatch open.
6 Passengers --- No passenger may ride on the tractor
unless it is provided with a special seat. Any passenger
must not ride on the platform placed in the tractor. Other
personal transport, for example, on front---mounted
loaders, is not permissible.
7 Caution --- Hold on to the steering wheel or safety
handles in the cab if the tractor tips over. Never try to jump
out.
8 Maintenance --- The driver is responsible for following
the maintenance instructions in this Manual and the safety
regulations applicable to the tractor. No maintenance
work is to be carried out on the tractor or implement
unless the engine is stopped and the implement lowered.
9 Lending --- Never lend the tractor to a person who is not
used to driving it. You may be held responsible for any
resulting accidents.
B. Safety precautions
10 Lights --- Always make sure that the lights and
reflectors are clean and in working order. Do not forget
that the headlights must be correctly adjusted.
N B1
11 Carbon monoxide --- Never start the engine, or run it
indoors while the doors are closed as this may lead to
carbon monoxide poisoning.
12 Downhill --- Never drive downhill with the gear lever in
neutral or the clutch pedal pressed down. Check the
brakes often. Always change down to a lower gear before
driving down a steep incline. When driving downhill do not
brake continuously --- Danger of overheating the
brakes! Do not let the engine over run to avoid damage to
the engine.
13 Running speed --- Adjust the speed to suit the driving
surface, visibility and load. Avoid any sudden increase or
reduction (braking) in the running speed as well as tight
turns at high speed. If care is not taken the tractor may tip
over or the load may be displaced.
IMPORTANT: The maximum speed of the tractor must
not be altered.
Maximum operating forward speed is 40 Km/h (traffic
tractors 50 Km/h), for safety the maximum operating
speed in reverse is 20 Km/h.
14 Power take ---off driven attachments --- When running
with power take---off driven attachments or machines it is
very important that the prescribed safety devices are used
and that they are in good condition. Serious accidents
have occurred due to failure to use the prescribed
safety devices. Follow the directions given by the
implement or machine manufacturer.
15 Check links --- When transporting implements using
the three---point linkage, the check links must be locked
with pins.
16 Emergency exits --- The cab is provided with four
emergency exits. These are the doors, the rear window
and the roof hatch (extra equipment).
17 Stairs --- Keep the stairs clean. Build up of dirt can cau-
se slippery conditions and can cause injury.
18 Trailer load --- On tractors with trailers the load must
be properly secured. The load must not obstruct the
driver’s vision or cover lights and reflectors. Loads which
project more than 1 m (39 in) behind the vehicle train
B. Safety precautions
must be suitably marked. During day-time this should be
done with a flag and during darkness with a red light and
reflector arrangement.
19 Trailer --- A trailer should only be coupled to the
drawbar. A loaded drawbar must always be lowered with
the hydraulic lift. Check that trailer brakes are operating
properly and observe any special instructions issued by
the trailer manufacturer.
WARNING: When the tractor is towing a
trailer the brake pedals must be locked
together. The brakes are not to be used
individually for steering.
WARNING: When using a trailer make sure
that the hitch latch is locked.
WARNING: When using the trailer always
use the brakes, if the law requires.The
trailer brakes are recommended to use in 50
km/h models also in those countries, where
it is not required by the law.
20 Front ---end loader --- When working with a front
loader, be sure that no one is in the working area. There is
a danger that the tractor may tip over when the loader is
lifted. The driver should put the front---end loader in the
down position before leaving the tractor. Any special
instructions issued by the loader manufacturer should
also be observed.
21 Running --- Before driving always check that the tractor
is in a safe condition for driving on the road. Rear view
mirrors should be adjusted to give the correct viewing
angle before setting off. When towing an implement
whose centre of gravity is located at a significant distance
behind the tractor, the driver should remember that there
may be considerable sway during cornering.
22 Differential lock --- The differential lock must only be
used when running on loose or slippery ground.
NB2
23 Ballast weights --- When driving on the road at least
20 % of the gross weight of the tractor must be on the
front axle. When lifting an implement the weight on the
front end of the tractor is reduced, and the steering ability
of the tractor is impaired or sometimes lost. Therefore
sufficient ballast weights should be carried. Ballast
weights should be mounted only at the points intended for
this purpose.
24 Attaching implements --- Care must be taken when
implements are being attached. There is a risk of an
---8---
accident if the tractor or implement should move. It is only
safe to enter the space between the tractor and the
implement if the parking brake is applied or the wheels
blocked in order to prevent the tractor from moving.
25 Damage --- The driver is responsible for seeing to the
repair of any damage or wear which might endanger the
safety of the tractor.
WARNING: If damage occurs to the cab, all
parts affected should be replaced with new
ones. No repair work (welding, drilling,
cutting, or grinding) should be attempted.
A6084---10
26 Triangle for slow vehicle (SMV ---Slow Moving
Vehicle) --- When driving on public roads always use the
SMV emblem on the rear end of the tractor. Also use the
rotating light where required by law.
A6084---10,1
27 Mobile phones --- Mobile phones may cause failure for
the electric linkage function. A mobile phone can not be
kept inside the cab, especially above the right side panel.
When using a mobile phone in the tractor it is
---9---
recommended that it is connected to the outside antenna.
28 Hydraulic/fuel pressure --- Oil/fuel under high
pressure easily penetrates through clothing and skin and
can cause serious injury. Never attempt to locate a leak in
the hydraulic system or attempt to close a leak using any
part of your body.
29 Implements maintenance --- Implements connected to
the linkage or the auxiliary hydraulic system must be
lowered to the ground during maintenance.
30 Motor noise --- When you are operating the engine or
working near it, use hearing protectors to avoid noise
injuries.
31 Naked flames and smoking --- Naked flames,
smoking and sparks are prohibited near the fuel system
and batteries. (Specially, when charging batteries,
explosive gases present).
32 Cleaning --- Keep the tractor clean (cleaning
instructions see on page 114). Avoid the risk of fire by
throughly cleaning before use!
33 By a fire --- At temperatures in excess of 300˚ C, e.g. if
the engine is on fire, the viton seals of the engine (e.g the
undermost 0---ring of the oil pressure regulating value)
produce very highly corrosive hydrofluoric acid. Do not
touch with your bare hands, viton seals which have been
subjected to abnormally high temperatures. Always use
neoprene rubber or heavy duty gloves and safety glasses
when decontaminating. Wash seals and the contaminated
area with 10 % calcium hydroxide or other alkali solution.
Put all the removed material in sealed plastic bags and
deliver them to the point stated by the Authorities
concerned.
WARNING: Never destroy viton ---seals by
burning!
34 Engine stop and restart --- If the engine has stalled
eg. due too heavy loading, turn the ignition switch to the
STOP position. Restart the engine according to the start-
ing instructions. Keep an eye on the indicator lights on the
instrument panel.
35 Quick couplings for lower links --- Clean, if necessary
the quick couplings and ball joints for the lower links befo-
re attaching the implement. DANGER OF THE IMPLE-
MENT RELEASING!

position to give you the best possible service. Through
service bulletins and special training courses he is kept
constantly informed of the factory’s recommendations
regarding care of the tractor.
C 2.1. Cost---free service
Before leaving the factory the tractor was thoroughly
tested and adjusted to ensure it is in first-class condition
when delivered to you. However, it is important that the
tractor is given further checks during the first period of
operation.
Bolts must be checked for tightness, various settings
inspected and other minor adjustments made. Your dealer
therefore provides a cost---free service inspection
(excluding oil and filter costs) after 100 hours running.

In order to function satisfactorily the tractor must be

properly maintained. The necessary daily lubrication and
routine checks, can, of course, be carried out by the
driver.Where adjustments and repairs are necessary which
require the attention of a qualified mechanic and the use
of special tools, it is advisable to rely on a workshop. In
this case we advise you to consult your local dealer as to

 C 3. Engine C 3.1.Electronic engine
management (EEM)
On the models N111ehCR, N121h and N141h the electro-
nic engine management includes a controller installed on
the engine (EC).
The electronic engine management improves the
technical features of the engine such as fuel efficiency,
power, torque and cold starting. It also reduces emissions
and noise. On the models with lower output, these
features are achieved with the new feed pump.

C 3.2.Common Rail
In the Common Rail system the injection pump has been
replaced with the high---pressure pump, which pumps the
amount of fuel to over 1000 bar pressure, to the high
N C7
pressure accumulator (rail), common for all cylinders. The
high---pressure fuel injects to the cylinders through the
electric controlled injectors. The Common Rail system
The tractors have 4---stroke direct injection diesel makes it possible to develop quiet---running, economic

---N101cCR, N101hCR---N141h

Two power ranges C 4. Power transmission

--- The models N101cCR, N101hCR---N141h have also a
larger transport boost power area, when the main gear
is H2 or higher (on the 50 km/h models H1 or higher).
--- On the model N111ehCR it is possible to choose either C 4.1. Clutch, Nc models
low engine range (maximum 1800 r/min) or standard
engine range (maximum 2200 r/min) with the Eco
switch. When using the low engine range, the fuel con-
sumption, emissions and noise are all reduced.
The principle of the turbocharged engine is that exhaust
gases from the engine cylinders drive the turbo unit which
forces air into the cylinders. This means that higher power
output can be obtained with economical fuel
consumption. On intercooler models cooled inlet air is fed
into the cylinders.
The engine induction air passes through the air filter and a
safety filter inside the air filter. The air intake system has
an effective ejector system, most of the impurities are
removed before they reach the filter by the exhaust fume
flow. The safety filter prevents the engine being damaged
if the main filter fails.
These engines have lower fuel consumption and cleaner
exhaust gases.

N C10

The clutch is disengaged hydraulically and is coupled to

the flywheel. It has a single dry disc with a diaphragm
spring. The clutch disc diameter is 330 mm. The disc
material is organic. Clutch disc vibration damping has
been improved. This causes lower noise levels and
setting---off is now smoother. The clutch operates by fluid
and is self adjusting. As extra equipment it is available to
have the push buttons for HiShift for making driving easier
so there is no need to use the foot clutch pedal.
Traditional use of clutch pedal is however always possible.

C. General description ---14---

 C 4.2. HiTech power shuttle, Nh models

68c 23

In tractors with the HiTech power shuttle unit the

traditional forward/reverse gear lever is replaced with a
shuttle lever beside the steering wheel.
By moving the shuttle lever forwards or backwards (the
centre position is neutral) you get a gentle and light
shuttle operation without using the clutch pedal. Use of
the clutch pedal for shuttle operation is still possible.
The power shuttle is placed between the gearbox and the
Powershift. It has planetary---type gear drives which are
operated by two wet multi---disc clutches, one for forward
driving and one for reverse driving. Multi disc clutches
operate at the same time as the driving clutch due to this
the tractor not having a traditional dry clutch disc.
The function of the HiTech system is controlled by the
electronic control unit of the gearbox. This means that the
electronics smoothly adjust the disengaging and
engaging pressures of the hydraulic multi---discs
according to program. This provides smooth forward and
power shuttle driving. A6181---16,1

In addition the system has the HiShift--- operation, with

switches placed in the speed gear--- and range lever,
which controls the operation of the multi---discs when
changing gear. So it is possible to change gear without
using the clutch.
However, traditional use of clutch pedal is still possible.
The models N101h HiTrol---N121h HiTrol (not N111ehCR)
are also fitted with a hydraulic coupling for smoother
transmission. The hydraulic coupling allows shock free
traction; it is of particular benefit when ground conditions
are slippery or when the tractor is heavily loaded.
Additionally, the speed differences between gears are
evened out.

---15--- C. General description

The hydraulic coupling also protects the clutch disc and
other transmission components from uneven and
excessive load peaks.
C 4.3. Gearbox
The speed gearbox has four synchronized gears which
are controlled with a speed gear lever. In addition, the
gearbox has three range gears; LL=creeper range
(alternative equipment, standard in 50 km/h models and
N111ehCR), M=Medium range and H= High range. M
and H ranges are synchronized. All this range of gears are
controlled with one lever.
There is an EcoSpeed---function available on the models
N111ehCR, N121h and N141h(as alternative equipment).
The EcoSpeed---function is based on the 50 km/h
transmission and the highest ratio with the electric speed
limiter (40 km/h). When driving at road speeds the fuel
consumption is lower and the noise will be reduced.
Nc models
Between the Powershift and gearbox there is a
forward---reverse shuttle and this is synchronized. The
forward/reverse shuttle is controlled with a separate lever.
For this reason forward/reverse changing can be made
quickly and very easily e.g when loading work is carried
out.
C 4.4. Powershift
In addition in front of the gearbox is a 3---step quick---shift
gear, the Powershift.
The main gearbox has 8 speeds forward/reverse and
with LL (alternative equipment) 12 speeds forward/re-
verse. The 3---step Powershift gear on the tractors give
24 gears forward/reverse and with LL (alternative
equipment) 36 gears forward/reverse.
Shafts and gearwheels in the gearbox are pressure lubri-
cated.
Nc models
The Powershift is controlled with push buttons placed on
the speed gear lever knob.
Nh models
Control of the Powershift function is also controlled by the
electronic control unit, at which time the gearing is
selected according to the driving conditions.
Manual control of the Powershift--- gears is done with the
push buttons on the gear lever. The driver can choose
from the system, preprogrammed automatic functions of
Powershift for different driving conditions and power
shuttle.
C. General description
The digital display panel in the tractor keeps the driver
informed at all times by displaying the status of different
operations, e.g.:
--- driving direction
--- which of the Powershift--- gears is engaged
--- chosen automatic operations
---outdoor temperature
--- shows when the PTO is engaged
---indicates any possible fault with a fault code
And in addition it suggests when to change to a lower or
higher gear.
C 4.5. Rear axle
The rear axle is fitted directly to the gearbox. The
differential lock in the rear axle is electro---hydraulically
controlled. When it is engaged, pressurized oil is pumped
to the multi---disc differential clutch, and this causes the
differential to lock. When the brake pedal is pressed the
differential lock is automatically disengaged. An indicator
lamp on the instrument panel lights when the differential
lock is engaged.
Final drives are of the planetary gear type. From the
planetary gears power is transmitted to the rear wheels.
C 4.6. Powered front axle
M C7
The powered front axle is driven from the gearbox bevel
pinion shaft front end.
Front wheel drive can be engaged and disengaged
electro---hydraulically. When 4WD is engaged the springs
force the discs together and four---wheel drive engages.
Consequently the 4WD is always engaged when the
engine is stopped (multi---disc clutch not pressurized).
In addition when braking, the front---wheel drive always
engages in order to provide the braking function for the
front wheels.
The front axle is also equipped with an automatic
differential brake. Simultaneously electro hydraulically
controlled front axle differential lock is available as
alternative equipment.The suspensioned front axle is
available as extra equipment on all models.

 C 4.7. Power take---off

A6181---19

The PTO rotating speed is selected with a lever, which can

select either 540 r/min or 1000 r/min nominal rotating
speed. Engagement and disengagement is electro---
hydraulically through a different button. It is also possible
as alternative equipment to have a 540E (750) r/min PTO
(not N111ehCR).

Nh models
The control unit of the gearbox also controls the function
of the power take---off. This makes the power take---off
engagement smooth without loading the implement. The
display shows a symbol if the power take---off shaft is
rotating.

All models
The power take---off shaft is easy to change. As standard
the tractor is provided with a 6---spline shaft and as extra
equipment shafts with 21---, 20---, 6--- or 8 splines for
greater torque can be fitted on the tractor.
As alternative equipment a ground speed PTO is also
available.
The front power take---off is available as extra equipment
(with front linkage). The front PTO shaft nominal rotating
speed is 1000 r/min and the shaft is 6---spline.

axle.

Nh models
The parking brake is electro---hydraulic and is controlled
with a shuttle lever. When engaging the parking brake, the
pressure exhausts from the cylinder operate the parking
brake and a strong spring engages the tractor brakes. At
the same time the control unit disengages the trans-
mission. With this system the tractor brakes are always on
when the engine is not running.

C. General description ---18---

 C 6. Steering system

M C8

The tractor has a hydrostatic steering system so that

steering movement is transmitted from the steering wheel
by oil under pressure to the front axle. This makes
steering particularly easy.
If the oil pressure in the steering system should fail for any
reason, steering is still possible by manual power, and the
steering valve will act as a pump.
The tractor hydraulic system has a priority valve which
ensures that there is always sufficient oil for the steering
system.

 C 7. Hydraulic system
UUSI KUVA
The tractors hydraulic system has both a low pressure
circuit and a high pressure circuit. Both circuits have their
own pump. The capacity of the low pressure circuit
pump is 30 l/min at 2200 r/min. The high pressure pump
capacity is 73 l/min at free flow pressure which enables
effective use of the auxiliary hydraulics.
The high pressure circuit controls:
--- steering system (prioritized)
--- working hydraulics
--- auxiliary hydraulics
--- trailer brake valve (extra equipment)
The low pressure circuit controls:
--- quick---shift gear
--- powered front axle
--- PTO
--- differential lock
--- gearbox lubrication
Tractors have, as standard, an electro---hydraulic

 C 7.1. Valves for auxiliary hydraulics

N C27

The tractor has two valves for auxiliary hydraulics as

standard and these are controlled by separate levers.
Both of these valves are adjustable for either
single---acting or double---acting functions. One of these
valves can be locked mechanically in position while the
other valve has a ”floating position”.
Standard quick---action couplings or Push---Pull type
couplings are available.
Two additional valves and an oil flow distribution valve can
be mounted as extra equipment. In addition, a trailer
brake valve can be mounted as extra equipment.
