Never heard of a "Valtra" tractor until now however all tractors can have stability issues.
Side to side stability issues can be helped but not cured by widening the stance of your tractor. This is done by reconfiguring the way the wheels and rims are mounted on the tractor.
If you are lifting heavy loads with your loader and have little or no ballast in the rear the hind end will leave the ground. Even with ballast in the rear a heavy lift will potentially cause instability.
Even with the widest stance possible and the correct ballast a tractor's stability can be seriously affected by the terrain.
Are your rear tires loaded? Are they set at the widest stance possible? What type of terrain are you dealing with? What work are you doing when the stability issues are most apparent?

valtra is a made in finland no w distributed by AGCO who are not much help. even tried to blame the dealer for fitting the wrong loader , when Valtra's site says they fit loaders in factory; My main concern is that some one may kill them selves in one, challenger tractors and class I think are the s ame; so be ware:
