Valtra tractor with dual rear wheels, optimized for performance in Caledonia
In October 2023, we visited a farm in Caledonia, Ontario, where we performed a software-based optimization of a Valtra tractor. This powerful machine, equipped with dual rear tires, was ready for the next season — and the customer was looking to unlock its full potential without compromising durability.
After running diagnostics, we recommended a safe ECU parameter recalibration, focusing on improved torque under load and better fuel efficiency. Without touching the hardware, we modified injection settings, throttle response, and RPM control — while keeping everything fully reversible and within factory safety limits.
✅ What we did:
- On-site ECU diagnostics
- Operational data analysis from previous fieldwork
- Software parameter recalibration for better performance
- Safe, non-invasive and reversible optimization
The customer reported better low-RPM pull and reduced fuel use during transport runs. Even in the milder fall conditions of Caledonia, smart ECU adjustments can bring measurable results.
