The Valtra Q265 and the Valtra S280 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Valtra S280 leads on rated power with 276 hp against 265 hp. Valtra S280 is the lighter machine (8,799 kg vs 9,200 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Valtra S280 holds more fuel (599.9 L vs 430 L) for longer stints between fills. Valtra Q265 is the newer design (2024 vs 2003). In short: choose the Valtra S280 for outright pulling power, or the Valtra Q265 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
