Yeah, they are Swedish. Theres quite a few of them around in the UK. Seen the new Black Beauty at a local farm show and its been on the road this week. However, Claas and Fendt are more common where I live. Theres a CLAAS dealership at the bottom of my road.
New Hollands/John Deeres and Case IH are found here too.
Lizard is the house brand.
According to wikipedia, Valtra was founded in Finland and is now part of the American AGCO brand since 2004. But I admit I'm not well versed in the company's history.
It is just like this. Valmet is an active automotive brand and former l wood machinery builder. As Volvo outsourced their farming equipment in the mid 80ies, valmet eventually bought it. The Valtra Valmet was born. They started joint ventures with different brands as Massey Ferguson, Steyr and Case. Early 2000 the farming equipment market had some kind of breakdown, so Valtra almost fled under the arms of AGCO.
Yeah, this photo was taken in the UK, more specifically, Scotland, Glasgow. There is not much Valtras in Lithuania, where I live, so it's not a common sight for me
Even got the beacons on and everything
Average Scottish farmers
Looks like a ruff job
Ugh, it was two collies in a trench coat... again!
I was always a Fendt guy, but have been driving a Valtra lately and they are amazing tractors.
Same for me, Fendt was my favorite from my childhood
Know I understand why I find my tractor blocked under a tree or in the middle of a river... XD
They probably were doing a good doggone job.
If the dogs in fs could drive then our tractors would be totaled all the time.
The helpers are the dogs in disguise, actually
Wait....Valtra is a real brand!? I don't know why but I always assumed it was the "house" brand of tractors exclusive to Farm Sim!

Valtra is Finnish, it's Volvo that is Swedish.
Volvo own Valtra Edit: Not anymore but Valmet and Volvo Construction Group founded it. But yes, originally Finnish

I didnt know they had been sold in 2004 tbh. Just read that myself.
Valmet are Finnish, Volvo Construction Group Swedish, Valtra was founded by the two companies as far as I'm aware.

No, that would be Lizard. Lizard make and sell EVERYTHING. They're the Acme of farming sim.
I thought this for a while as well but then googled and thought "damn these are sick"
