New Valtra seat

[scrubbuster]

I have a 18 plate Valtra smart touch. The seat has more travel side to side than it does forward and back. On the road it's awful slideing side to side, quite dangerous on a twisty bumpy road. Are they all like this or does mine have a fault.

Many thanks

Have you asked a Valtra dealer or who you had the tractor from?

Make sure no one else sits in your tractor I find my seat horrible with the slightest of adjustment

Is there any resistance side to side?

The little gas ram for it is a common fail or the bolt coming out the end of it as well

So true! If someone has moved my tractor and moved the seat a bit in the process, it can take ages to get the right position again, then your mind starts playing tricks that it’s still different so you spend the entire day making minsicule adjustments

It won’t be long until seats have memory functions and electric forward/ back and cushion adjustments.

I find it’s not too bad getting the height and forward back sorted, the height is automatic and for me the seat goes right back. What really buggers the job up is when someone adjusts the base cushion. Drives me mad!!

Am I imagining it or does your seat turn to go the other direction as well?

Reverse drive?

Just lock our side movement on the road.

And the steering wheel, I have a lad do a bit for me occasionally and every time he gets out of the seat he moves the steering wheel right up.

I remember a friend telling me about his experiences with a 3 yr old Range Rover he bought second hand from a dealer. The top of the range vehicle had belonged to a premiership football players wife and had electronic memory functioning. Unfortunately the settings for the wife who was a slim petite lady couldn't be erased and everytime my friend ( who is 5ft 10" and overweight) got in the drivers seat and started the engine the memory function would return the seats settings to its previous owners...……...Ouch!! After the 7th trip back to the dealers he told them to keep it and return his money![/QUOTE]

^Stupid cars them Range Rovers? My -02 Saab has three memory slots, you just hold set and press whatever number you want to assign the settings on. Then you just press and hold the said number and the seat will go to the set position.

John Deere driver, Cabs so small you have to move steering wheel up to get out them

Yes, but you don’t have to do it in all tractors, I’ve never found the need in my masseys or Case.

Moving slightly back towards topic, the easiest tractor I’ve come across for adjusting the steering wheel position was a Valtra with its pedal between clutch and brake.

An it actually gets out the way unlike newholland steering wheels

I had a fastrac on demo last year that had 2 levers, 1 to set the position and the other for moving it for getting out. Then when you brought it back towards you it always went to the correct position. Wish the Valtra did that
