[QUOTE="MF 168, post: 6565333, member: 81000"] Had a Valtra T160 here last year that blew up first gear ploughing. It wasn't been dogged or having the crap driven out of it. I'm the plough man and usually tip away nice and easy. I was disgusted when we opened up the tractor and saw a car gearbox as far as I'm concerned. It got a good 2nd hand gear to fix her up and was kicked down the road for a new T174. There's no comparing the 2 I have to say. The new lady is light years ahead of the old bus for comfort, power and fuel efficiency. Very light on ad-blue too. I love the smart touch system. A child could figure it out. The dealer is on top of their game as well. Had a warranty issue and it was fixed no quibble whatsoever and a follow up call to check if the issue was gone. Truthfully if the local MF dealer wasn't such an utter (insert suitable word) we would have gone MF instead but he was an arse so that was that. So to answer the topic in hand, in my opinion the brand is only as important as how much you like it. A good dealer is paramount regardless of brand preferences. [/QUOTE]
