Yeah a 6630 with low hours would be fair money, considering Claas as well, good value for money second hand and good back up locally.

I know where there is a Fendt 516 for sale with a loader! Be ideal for you.

Had you it in manual or auto, I always drive in manual which is not a problem , the versu is very easy to change gears , they do take a bit of getting use to, but after a day on it , there no problem with gear changes. They do have a lower brake pedal compared to most other tractors , again , I’ve never had an issue with brakes or the lack of brakes. .

Perhaps not then?
Are the new JD's worse that the 00/10/20/30 series for visibility with the loader?
I've hundreds of hours of bale loading on those models and never had a problem. The IVT models were a game changer for that job. I don't know what they'd be like in a tight yard though.
A shame the sloping hood 120m isn't big enough.

Nobody wants to "drive" a tractor anymore.
Everything has to be auto this and slick without lifting a finger.
Always always always get a demo !!!!!!
It's very easy to learn the hard way ...........

Don't know if Agri knives said about the brakes, but find it best to ignore what Jimmy writes
If the pedal was soft, the brakes do need bled properly with a trailer pipe connected. It's a simple easy thing to do and results in a very solid pedal. The dealer has crapped on their doorstep if they sent out a tractor not set up correct.
Cabin noise in the 4 cylinder valtra is definitely higher than Deere. When it's working hard, the sound is also a bit like a hoard of hammer wielding Viking warriors beating the shyte out of the engine
it's not loud (the radio volume doesn't need increased from the level at engine idle), but the change in engine sound is very noticeable.The range shift from C to D is a full declutch gearshift. Properly calibrated, it is very slick, and the engine speed matching makes it smoother than a consummate gearshifting professional boy racer. Set wrong, and the valtra is worse than the Ford Rubik cube column shift

I think you can only have it in one shade of green.
