right or wrong i don't know but the reason agco is throwing money at valtra Finland is because Sauli Niinistö their president is giving//recognizing both AGCO Power and one of AGCO’s leading brands, Valtra, operating from Suolahti, with a long-term investment award. so valtra has more head and block recondotioning facilities . A brand new area to make fendt s cvt's a brand new paint shop plus plans to expand even bigger . how many tractors do they sell olly blogs had a loaded train featured in one of his vid's. So a few maybe???

The crucial difference to that point is that agco owns fendt and sisu, thus wanting to us the inhouse engine and keep the money inhouse rather than giving it to deutz. But as for the transmissions agco owns both the fendt and valtra designs and manufacturing plants

AGCO are still buying MAN motors for Fendt and one day that may change and it won’t be because the MAN engine is not good.

The Valtra Vario may be good, it may be poor its immaterial, the answer is a few posts up, it’s all consolidation of parts, especially when being sourced from within the parent organisation.

There is fewer and fewer different parts and engines being made and more and more companies sharing those parts - some you may be surprised at, for example a 2017 on Diesel Rav 4 uses a BMW engine.

Sat in an 8s last night at the dealers open day. I thought the cab was great! heaps of space, quality feel and good visibility. Looked good on the outside aswell with the big tyres on it. Not that I will ever be in the market for one!

I think they have moved the key around to the side of the dash?

7s210 looked a neat powerful tractor.
Drove our 8s265 dyna 7 for the first time yesterday was very impressed
