Upgrading a Valtra Tractor for More Efficient Field Performance
Software ECU calibration for smarter torque and lower fuel use

Valtra tractor with dual rear wheels, optimized for performance in the field
In October 2023, we visited a farm in the United States, 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.
- 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 moderate fall conditions, smart ECU adjustments can bring measurable results.
