New Tractor and Loader

[dave mountain]

I bought a G125 Valtra, I'm thoroughly enjoying it and to be honest I can't fault it so far. It's a good bit better on fuel than the N103 it replaced. I hear what some folk are saying about China but its very difficult to not buy Chinese these days.

Even the most anti-chinese buying will have thousands of items/components around them - either in their phone/PC/tablet/cars/homes etc. I would have rathered have a Finnish engine but that wasn't on the list!

When it came down to it I got a much better specd tractor for significantly less than the others I priced and I'm very pleased with it!

Depends on your point of view. If I buy a t6.160 (6.7 fpt engine) for similar money, 20 years time when it's mapped, ad blu deleted and straight piped it will be a better bus than a Chinese valtra (if it's still going) each to their own though

We got this delivered a few weeks back and cant fault it. 6110M with 623R loader. We dont get the sloped bonnet version here in South Africa but really enjoying this tractor and loader

First 2 would probably be higher on my list than the valtra tbh, because if I'm gonna go for bigger frame I'd much rather have a 6 pot. One thing that's putting me off is that the t6010 is very handy sized around my sheds, would a t6.160 or even a n series actually be much more compact than just putting a loader on my T7? If not then it's seriously pushing the limits of what will get round my sheds. I'm assuming the Kubota would be more similar size to my 6010?

A T6 160 feels very numb compared to a Valtra N we have both

was expecting the 160 to be like the old T6 140 but it’s more like a T7

Did you have the wheel weights put on before or after you had it?

It came as it is now. Didnt add or take off anything. Still need to build a frame for the weight pack to hang on the three point when we do a lot of loader work

is it numb as in lack of power or as in poor maneuvrability? what n series is that compared to?

Lack of manoeuvrability it’s a good field tractor great on the muckspreader and combi drill but the N4 is miles ahead when it comes to steering lock and road comfort

Kubota is a good thought actually, will have to get a look at one. Does the 5s have the same chinesium engine as the g series valtra or is it different?

The engine is in Valtra,Massey and the fabled over priced Fendt.
Have G135 goes well, loader very easy to remove and put back on.
Better sized than N series in my own situation, and equally fit.

You mentioned front /cab suspension that works - this rules out anything made by CNH ! Terrible offerings.
