How did you get the tyres? When I ordered my Valtra I couldn’t spec it with vredestein!
At the end of the day its me that has to pay for it so I’ll have what I want. The tyres swap was facilitated with the dealer (who I find spot on) as part of the deal. It’s like the light package though, I’ll swap all the halogen work lights before spring for Nordic Leds from Graham smith as I prefer his product to the manufacturers and it will work out more economical.
These things arnt cheap so I’ll be buggered if I’m going to compromise and not have what I want just because the manufacturer doesn’t offer it.

Valtra'll install anything for you (as long as it's legal) if you want. Some people want a tractor with gun holster and bracket and they'll make it. It's called the Unlimited Trim.

Doesn’t seem to work like that. It’s available if it’s in the unlimited catalogue, if not it’s a case of “sorry we won’t do that”. Unlimited is nothing more than a hyped up sales gimmick. I asked for a larger tyre on my N series and it was knocked back so I had to change them them when it arrived.
I had an N175direct ordered too but was put in a situation to choose between the brand or the supplying dealer so it was knocked back in favour of the dealer and who has been spot on and Ive ordered a different make. And dont even start me on agco finance. We have good accounts and when asked to approve finance prior to placing the order last spring I was told it was a waste of his time as an approval would only last 3 months and he would have to submit it again but when it takes 6 months+ for a new tractor to be built/arrive I wouldn’t expect any dealer to take an order unless the money was in place. I have every confidence in the tractor but given the buying experience (dealer aside) this will probably be the last agco product I have for a very long time. Roll on spring when the replacement for the cancelled N arrives😀
