Injection pressure is 201 bar. The linkage is category II. The 04 er-Baureihe series covers 3 models. Rated output within it ranges from 50 to 66 hp; the 504 sits at the bottom of that range with 50 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the 604 / 604-4 above it with 61 hp. Unladen weight within it ranges from 2,690 to 2,820 kg; here the 504 sits at the bottom of that range with 2,690 kg. 414 Valmet models across 21 series are on record.

Valmet 04 range: collective page of Finnish tractors 504 and 604 (also as Turbo) from Suolahti, three-cylinder diesels, 37 to 49 kW, 1980s

The 04 range from Valmet, dating from the 1980s, comprises the models 504 and 604 in the register, the latter also available in a turbocharged Turbo version; they were built at the Finnish plant in Suolahti. The model numbers rank the range by power class, and the -4 suffix denotes the four-wheel-drive variant. With the optional turbocharging on the 604, the range relied on comparatively modern technology for its time. That extra output made a real difference when pulling heavier implements.

The register lists 3 versions with 36.8 to 48.5 kW from three-cylinder diesel engines of 2,685 to 3,298 cm³, unladen weights of 2,690 to 2,820 kg, a length of 3,617 mm, widths of 1,890 to 1,930 mm and heights of 2,500 to 2,554 mm; torque ranges from 170 to 235 Nm at a rated speed of 2,300 rpm.

Turbocharging the more powerful 604 was, for a Finnish tractor of the period, an early step toward more power from relatively small displacement, helping it keep pace with rivals' larger six-cylinder models; the 04 range covered the mid power segment on Nordic farms.

When buying used, on the Turbo version particularly the condition of the turbocharger and charge-air ducting matters, and on all models the injection pump, cooling, gearbox and clutch; spare parts are available through today's Valtra network and independent farm-machinery dealers.

What to check before buying

Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
