Valmet METTA range – five Finnish tractors from Suolahti, 4100 to 4600: 39 to 58.8 kW, three- and four-cylinder diesels, 2,660 to 3,150 kg unladen weight, 3,790 mm length
Valmet built tractors in the Finnish town of Jyväskylä and later at the Suolahti plant, initially as a state-owned Finnish engineering group and, from the 1950s, as a dedicated agricultural machinery maker alongside trucks and pulp machinery. This page gathers the METTA range with five four-digit types from 4100 to 4600, whose numbers rise together with power and weight. The smaller types run three-cylinder engines, the larger ones four-cylinder units, all diesels with a rated speed of 2,350 revolutions per minute.

The register lists here 5 versions with 39 to 58.8 kW (53 to 80 hp) from three- and four-cylinder engines of 3,298 to 4,397 cm³ and torque from 195 to 290 Nm. Unladen weights range from 2,660 to 3,150 kg at a uniform length of 3,790 mm, width varies from 1,728 to 2,070 mm and height from 2,350 to 2,415 mm.
With the METTA range Valmet served the mid-power segment of Finnish and Nordic farming, where simple mechanics and cold-start reliability mattered more than comfort equipment. The brand held its ground at home alongside international competitors before its tractor division was later absorbed into Valtra.
Buying used, the Finnish Valmet diesels call for checking the injection pump and fuel system after decades of service, hydraulic and PTO seals, and corrosion on the wings, cab floor and radiator area. Engine and drivetrain parts are available through the Valtra network, as the two ranges are closely related technically.

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.
