I am considering ..

John deere 6215r
T7.260
Puma 220
Fastrac
Valtra t214 or 234
Fendt 930

Tractor has to have over 220 horses and front brakes.

I have a few scanias already

Our work still needs a haulage tractor to go from field to road during winter and summer with lgp trailers

I currently running new holland, the rig grosses 36 to 38 ton fully laden, but we are having brake and driveshaft bearing issues.

Fastrac. There’s a new series in test (6000 series) with more hp so maybe wait a bit.

Which transmission? Cvt or powershift? I really liked a t194 i drove 2 years ago but very little valtras in my area.
John deere and new holland has the market share in my area.

How does the fastrac cope with sticky conditions? We had a 185 fastrac years upon years ago and it was quite cumbersum.

CVT man, gears are old hat.

I would strongly agree, are you running valtra yourself?

You said haulage. It has to be a Fastrac - its what it was designed for.
We have a 936 and I would use a 4220 over the 936 for haulage any day of the week, unless you had some big hills then you want a 939.

Which of the 2 would have the least breakdowns over lets say 2000 hours of heavy work?

So you're wanting something that'll be happy over the legal weight limits for road use.

Why u considering new holland or case if your already having problems as a new 1 will be the same again? If your wantin something thatl stand the test of time with hard graft its got to be the john deere 6215r with powerquad transmission. Your asking about 2000 hours reliability but the deere will do 10k hours no problem with proper servicing and a few odds and ends fixing

what is the legal weight limit in ireland?

 

[Khan]

Up to 34t trailer and load-trailer needs to be triaxle with front and rear steer axles. 24t for tandem. These are agricultural trailers though not sure if they apply for construction use.

what is the legal weight limit in ireland?

UK rules apply in my part of Ireland though not enforced much. Maximum gross weight of loaded trailer is a handy to remember 18.29tonnes. Gross train weight 31T
