It is the smallest model among tractors with hydrostatic transmission and reverse drive. 2007. Work continues on the 9000 Series, the top of the Valpadana range of tractors. A new series of tractors of low and medium power - 4500 - was also created.
At EIMA 2008 Valpadana unveiled the first 9600 Series tractor with up to 100 hp. equipped with a 3.3 liter Cummins engine. The tractor is equipped with an electro-hydraulic drive.
