I'm thinking of buying a 234 , I have the older hitechs which have been great tractors , my t190 is now 15 years at front line work , so I'm thinking of trading up , the new valtras have 3 differant transmissions , am I better off sticking with the hitech or are the newer types worth it. Anyone got the new T 4 series , how are they going. Thanks.
Valtra T234 which transmission .

I'd go for Versu atleast. Direct if you can afford one, they seem to have sorted out the problems. Difference between Versu and Direct was 10k€ a month ago though.

Only 2 gearbox options. Main difference from Hitec5 to active is hydraulic pump. From Active to Versu it’s mainly electric hydraulics and then that just leaves to direct with the vario gearbox.

Hi tec has open circuit hydraulics and running a forage wagon is better with load sensing. Active has LS but manual spools.

A definite must is the wide angle windscreen wiper. Think it’s still an option but generally always fitted now. You don’t realise what we’ve been missing all these years until you’re doing a dirty/dusty job on a wet day.
Going away from the masseys?

Have versu and direct here,if we buy another it will be a direct,find it easier and nicer to drive than the versu.

Well if it’s replacing a Massey you probably don’t need that weight block [emoji106]
