I bet it'll only cost 25 pounds to repair though.
Sorry couldn't resist.

Do Valtra or Massey really matter in Germany?
I've spent quite a bit of time on farms in a fair amount of Germany on business in the past decade and I don't recall seeing a Massey or a Valtra on any of them.
I certainly don't recall seeing any tractors there that weren't Deutz, Claas or Fendt.
I do get the impression that Agco would not lament the offloading of Massey, not that that would necessarily be the worst thing for Massey.

James.. what you have written just flabbergasts me....if what you say is correct?... and he is employed by AGCO... I suspect he will be shortly getting a DCM.. don't come Monday!... in more than 35 years in the industry I know no company will tolerate that sort of behaviour..particularly expressing personal views to someone who then repeats them in the public arena!
Been going round in trade for a while
Mf will be offloaded
All the dealer/show changes changes make it seem like it would be correct

James has rather a vivid imagination when it comes to tractors ...
Agco are a ruthless multinational and dont give a fig about where their tractors are built . If the thought for one minute that masseys problems were caused by the French then the plant would be closed pronto .
And arent Valtras been built on the same line now at the french plant ???
I suppose the french will be at fault too should the give problems.....
I’ve no vivid imagination , I’m only saying what I was told personally, not third party or hearsay. So go back to sleep.

Did you bother to research the numbers? I can't find a single chart showing Valtra above MF sales in Germany.

Wish they would give it back to Finland were a lot better tractor before Agco got hold of them.I have it on VERY GOOD authority that AGCO just can`t wait to get rid of Valtra....
You have written some rubbish in the past but this takes the biscuit!!!!,a 4000 hour tractor which will be at least 8 years old is more than a new valtra, I call that bull$hit

Actually it tells a different story to me. One of alot of confidence being placed in the John Deere machine to continue working reliably if true.
but it wont be true.... here endith the story..
The way the post is worded, it does indeed sound very unrealistic. On a straight deal, I doubt a new valtra t234 could be bought for the same price as a 4000hr 6210r. There is no indication of how long ago this way, so I would not assume 8 year old.
however, if in fact the post is referencing that someone traded in their existing valtra for a new valtra t234, for the same price as what they were quoted to change their valtra for a 2 - 3 year old 6210r with 4000 hrs, then that is somewhat believable, as the jd dealer probably give a poor trade in price for the used valtra. The valtra dealer will probably have known the customer and tractor so may have allowed considerably more.

A new t234 couldnt be much difference in price to a same spec 6215r

A friend has priced changing 3 tractors and says that JD have come in cheaper than Deutz and Claas.
He says they are dearer than Case, but not as much as he had expected.
Another friend who was a long-term JD man, but bought a Valtra 2 years ago was on the phone yesterday telling me how his Valtra has given a good share of transmission trouble, so he's probably going back to JD.
The issue I see with JD is that to get a tractor with plenty of weight and lift you're into a lot of money.
We run deutz and I older JD, our first Deutz was 185hp, it weighs 7.5Ton, has 9.2 Ton rear lift, 6 electric spools, 50kmph.
To have gotten that in a JD would have been another 25 grand plus.
Our 2nd Deutz is a 155hp 4 cylinder, which weighs 7t, has 7.5T lift, 6 spools, 50km.
The JD for the same money was over 1.5T lighter, had 2 ton less lift, was 40km, and had 3 spools.
I'd like to be all JD, but for the quotes we got there were other ways ro make better use of the money.
