The Valtra T Series is a Tractor available in Farming Simulator 17. It is a strong medium tractor capable of working with both small and medium implements. The T Series' primary advantages include a large variety of good upgrades as well as Valtra's signature Reverse Drive Control feature. Its only real drawback is the lack of a second engine upgrade, which is common among other tractors of its size.

Advantages

  • Powerful Engine Upgrade: The T Series can only take one engine upgrade, but it is a very powerful (and relatively cheap) upgrade. It makes the T Series unmatched in strength with any non-upgraded tractor of its class and price range, and allows it to operate all medium machinery with ease.
  • Reverse Drive Control: The T Series is fitted with Valtra's signature Reverse Drive Control feature, which enables it to switch its driving direction - and then go as fast in reverse as it would forwards.
  • Fast Reverse: Even without Reverse Drive Control activated, the T Series has an impressive top speed when driving backwards. This makes it highly useful for jobs that require going back-and-forth constantly, such as when working with a bucket or palette fork.
  • Plenty of Customization: The T Series accepts a wide variety of modifications for all sorts of purposes. Both the tractor body and wheel rims can be repainted in any color.

Disadvantages

  • No Second Engine Upgrade: Unlike other tractors of its size category, the T Series' engine can only be upgraded once. This means that other tractors can achieve a higher horsepower if money is invested in their upgrades, leaving the T Series behind. Nonetheless, its first engine upgrade does give it enough horsepower to operate medium machinery very comfortably - but it will struggle with heavy machinery.
