The New Valtra Momentum Planter Arrives with Versions from 18 to 24 Rows, Cutting-Edge Technology and Focus on Productivity, Economy and Plantability in Any Relief.
Valtra, recognized for the robustness of its agricultural solutions, presents to the market the new generation of the Momentum Planter, now available in versions with 18, 20, 22, and 24 rows.
The launch meets the needs of producers seeking to combine technology, operational practicality, and greater control over crop productivity, even in challenging terrains.
With options in Seed and Seed & Fertilizer configurations, the equipment’s differentiator is the incorporation of intelligent systems. These ensure maximum precision in the deposition of inputs, as well as high operational yield.

Optimized Plantability with Total Real-Time Monitoring
The Precision Planting system, one of the main highlights of the Momentum planter, provides complete control of population density and performance during planting.
Equipped with the vSet2 doser and the vDrive electric motor, the setup eliminates traditional components such as gears and shafts. This delivers greater efficiency, simplicity, and precision row by row.
With the 20|20 interface, the operator has real-time access to the performance of each section of the planter.
Parameters are adjusted based on soil data, speed, and relief, promoting uniformity in the plant stand.
Fertilizer Control with Economy and Precise Application
The new Momentum also incorporates the vApply Granular system, which controls the application of solid fertilizers through two hydraulic motors.
Thus, it operates with fixed, variable rates, and section control.
This solution allows for a reduction of up to 50% in input overlap, promoting significant savings.
Studies show that in an area of 1,800 hectares, the technology has the potential to generate savings of up to R$ 36,000 in fertilizers, increasing the profitability of the operation without compromising agronomic performance.
Planting with Homogeneous Performance Even in Irregular Terrain
The efficiency of the Momentum planter is also reflected in terrains with variable topography.
The exclusive Weight Transfer system evenly distributes weight among the modules, favoring plant emergence and preventing failures caused by excessive compaction.
The integration between the Smart Frame and Wing Flex systems provides greater row flotation, adapting the chassis to the soil second by second through position sensors.
The result is a more uniform crop, with an estimated increase of up to 2% in soybean productivity.
Simplified Operation and High Yield with Low Effort
Focusing on usability, Valtra designed the planter to be intuitive and practical.
The opening and closing are done in less than 90 seconds from the cabin, with a single command on the machine’s monitor.
There is no need for daily lubrication, reducing downtime and simplifying daily activities in the field.
The Momentum is also already prepared for furrow applications, with dedicated structure and easy access, eliminating the need for additional modifications.
The versatility caters to producers seeking scalable solutions without losing efficiency.
Models with Large Tanks and Adaptation to Tractors with High Hydraulic Flow
The available configurations include row spacing of 45, 50, and 60 cm, with tanks of up to 3,500 liters for seeds and fertilizers, depending on the version.
The minimum tractor requirements include a hydraulic system with Power Beyond/Load Sense, free return, and flow rates ranging from 120 to 170 liters per minute, depending on the model.
With the new Momentum, Valtra reinforces its commitment to innovation in the field, delivering solutions that meet precision in planting to resource savings, without giving up operational simplicity.
