Driving a Valtra From Finland to Italy

I know that you have been wondering all week about the farmer who was driving his Valtra from Finland to Italy. Well, good news: he made it home on Sunday afternoon! We congratulate the entire team on their successful journey.

“On the final day of the journey, the travelers were met by 10 friends of Vladi Peresson with their tractors at the Italian border near Klagenfurt, Austria. From Finland to Italy: They drove the last 140 km to Arta Terme together, where they were already expected at the town hall by local mayor Marlin Peresson and manager of Valtra Italy, Matteo Tarabini. Vladi Peresson and his friends finally arrived at the family farm on Sunday afternoon.

The new tractor was received with curiosity, and everybody got their chance to test the new N142. “The TwinTrac reverse drive function was particularly popular with our friends. It will make a lot of the jobs on the farm much easier, such as making corn silage”, comments Daniela Peresson. “We have seen a lot and met many nice people on our journey across Europe. But now the holidays are over for all of us, and the work with the tractor can begin”, she adds.
