Valtra tractor optimized for heavy-duty spreading in Port Dover, Ontario

At the end of September 2023, we were invited to a farm in the Port Dover area of Ontario to perform a software optimization on a Valtra tractor being used for fall manure spreading. The farmer was looking to improve the machine’s efficiency and torque curve under load.

Using real operational data, we designed an ECU reprogramming focused on better low-RPM torque, reduced fuel consumption, and improved throttle response — perfect for field work with a loaded spreader.

✅ What we did:

  • ECU diagnostics and data reading
  • Performance analysis under load conditions
  • Software calibration of injection timing and air-fuel ratio
  • Safe and fully reversible optimization within factory limits

The outcome? More pulling power on slopes, smoother take-off with a full load, and lower operating costs. With AgroEcoPower, farmers stay one step ahead — even during seasonal soil preparation.
