Valtra Depreciation
- Thread starter Happy
- Start date
You've hit the nail on the head there , the cost of ownership is the most important one , the cost of getting your work done , and having run valtras for 24 yrs and watching other brands perform , I havnt seen any other brand perform as economicly when you take everything in to account from the cost price to the running cost , depreciation and fuel use.

Just shy of 100k. I forgot to mention the 20k bill for gearbox repairs too in the four years. Maybe it was just a lemon this particular one.

Maybe they have smaller hands
Could well be fendt syndrome I've seen it a few times, used to only occur in Deere drivers I used to be one of these people, till we seen the light n realised just beacuse it's most expensive doesn't make it the best
What one of your lads thought of it , who obviously hasn't a clue about the tractor , when he comes out with the no power statement , that says it all. I thought you had better men than that.
Very true words , some lads ( speedstar ) don't want to see the light.
Actually reading that text again I doubt it was a member of staff who wrote it.
well that's their choice, I could sit n bash the deeres we have demoed or the fendts , I only point out what we think is a great reliable tractor and its positive points ill also point out the negatives which I have done in the past about valtra…… being short of power is something a valtra will never be

do the green drivers have smaller hands because they have smaller willies?
Possibly but I'm not one to cast aspersions
Surely smaller hands would make it look bigger.......that’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it.

It's virtually the only tractor that's built for northern winters. Scr/adblue system was crap on the older ones, haven't heard bad things about the newer ones.
Besides, no other manufacturer will build a rifle/shotgun mount inside the cab of a tractor.

Nah the only reason Valtra is big (in Sweden at least) is because 1: While the contemporary Valmets were far from as good as Volvo BMs they were the "successor brand" and 2: they were, and are still to this day sold by Lantmännen, a dealership chain that is represented in the whole country and who at the time probably supplied like 70% of all new tractor sales, meaning that any brand sold through them was pretty much guaranteed a huge market share...
