should help keep the front end down a bit more, but i know which machine id prefer to be sat in when it comes to hills etc

Cooling packs take up more room than the engine
Buy the 120 and remap it. Guy around here does it for about £600, did my last 6130 and turned it up to 160. Only reason I did it was to cut down the gear changes on our banks with the autoquad, this 6130 we have now is vario so haven’t bothered this time. He does a lot for the main dealers of all colours.

What about the warranty...
its void , and they know its been mapped or chipped as soon as they plug the lcomputer in regardless if the map or chip has been taken off

I thought it would
The dealers turn a blind eye around here, as it doesn’t show up apparently. Just don’t take the p**s but another 20hp will never stress anything on an owner driven tractor. I wouldn’t worry about weight as it’s easy added, we filled the back tyres with water on our Fendt as it was so light on the backend but jd are heavier so I don’t think you will have any bother.
Not necessarily if done properly.

The dealer may turn a blind eye but the manufacturer won't of there's a lot of warranty claims for intercooler hoses.

I've heard there's dealers in the UK that actually send them out mapped or have them chipped for the owner and it doesn't affect warranty.
Don't know what the mothership would say but it does happen.
If the 6120 is a lighter tractor that would make a difference, be less inclined to turn up smaller tractor.
A lot of tractors are remapped before delivery at the main dealers so although your right in practice it rarely creates a problem unless you have really taken the p**s and stuck 50hp on it.

In practice is it not one of the reasons a local dealer was dropped by their manufacturer?
Could be, I have no idea

I just checked the specs of both tractors , the JD is 5200 kg , valtra is 6200 kg. The valtra shuttle is far nicer to work for loader work, the spools on the joystick are very easy to use on the valtra. The valtra has far better visibility too. The valtra now have two seperate oil tanks which long term is a great saving for the tractor. I’m running valtras for 25 years and I’ve yet to see a tractor to beat them, my local valtra dealer has traded in an awful amount of JD tractors lately . One jd was only a year old when it was traded in. Local contractor here was valtra , then went to 4 jds and is now gone back to valtras , says it all really.
