Aye just get the valtra bought farmers like changeSurely if your jd already and the jd is cheaper than the valtra and you want to spend as little as possible then there isn’t really a question

The one I had ago in was great never been a johndeere man either never been in a more compfortable tractorI’ve had a quote for a 130 R and the valtra would now be around 5/6k less than the JD
spoke to 2 people today who own 130R’s with loaders and both said they beautiful tractors but they are totally useless as a loader tractor
I would def agree with that, ours was such a numb bugger we havent bought a loader this time and upgraded to a bigger Kramer. The jd is fine in the field for loading bales but properly numb around the yard, I would think it that scenario a valtra would be a better option....decisions, decisionsI’ve had a quote for a 130 R and the valtra would now be around 5/6k less than the JD

I’m normally not this indecisive and can’t stand faffing but it’s an awful lot of money and a move away from what we’ve always hadI would def agree with that, ours was such a numb bugger we havent bought a loader this time and upgraded to a bigger Kramer.

couldnt agree more tbh, take your time and get it right. Another option is don’t bother with the loader if you have a handler as they are knocking 10k and use front a back carriers for your silage bales. If you have a handy lead it’s surprising what you can shift on your own.I’m normally not this indecisive and can’t stand faffing but it’s an awful lot of money and a move away from what we’ve always had
I need a loader tractor tbh....our jcb 530-70 has done 13k hours and I don’t want to part with it, it’s my favourite machine I live in it, I don’t think the newer ones are as good, but if it goes wrong we have nothing to feed all the stock with...just want a loader tractor to get bales on my own in the field and feed stock if the loadall sh!ts itselfIf you have

Depreciation wouldn’t be everything if I part exd it for another valtra next time....but it would if I didn’t like it and went back to JD...Sounds like the Valmet might be better suited
to your needs ,depreciation isn't everything.
Could always sell privateDepreciation wouldn’t be everything if I part exd it for another valtra next time....but it would if I didn’t like it and went back to JD...
I don’t like selling stuff private....farmers want the far end of a fartCould always sell private
Bend over and assume the position timeDepreciation wouldn’t be everything if I part exd it for another valtra next time....but it would if I didn’t like it and went back to JD...
I took a chance on valtra 25 years ago and it was the best move I ever made, I’m watching other contractors with every brand of tractor and they all get a lot more grief than we do . I just bought a new T234 last week. So as the saying goes I do put my money where my mouth is.Depreciation wouldn’t be everything if I part exd it for another valtra next time....but it would if I didn’t like it and went back to JD...
Might be partly down to yourself not just the tractor.I took a chance on valtra 25 years ago and it was the best move I ever made, I’m watching other contractors with every brand of tractor and they all get a lot more grief than we do .

The G series is sh!teI think the valtra N would be far superior to a JD M. Would the new G series be a closer match to the JD M? A friend has just got rid of his handler for a N174.
