Retrofit reverse drive

[TBradbury]

Anyone out there retrofitted the reverse drive to a valtra, in this case a T130 with mechanical linkages,

Might be easier to swap it for one with reverse drive as retrofitting could be cost prohibitive. McCleans, Netherton and HRN sometimes have used Valtras with TwinTrac.

Swap the tractor, not viable to retrofit.

Talking to dealer salesman at yams he said they can fit it but lads in workshop will swear at you when you ask them to do it

 

[Trivia]

Last i heard the gas pedal and cable alone to a mechanical 6400 was closer to 400.

So what’s the issue? From the factory it doesn’t seem that expensive,

It would be easier with a steer ready tractor using a joystick for the steering wired into the danfoss.

Little 4cyl Valtra with reverse drive and you'd be golden. Couple that with direct gearbox for creeping along for fence work would be a joy.

From the factory it will be homologated and type approved, fit it yourself or locally it will not. That's ok until if there is ever an accident and a subsequent investigation.
Better to find a tractor with it factory fitted.

It's not I think it was £2300. I think its the level it's built into the tractor. So to retrofit there's a element of unbuilding to fit it

Can you not just put it on the front linkage?

Makes sense, so the tractor is almost built around it rather thank the it just being a straight forward add on,

Many things as a factory option on a new tractor aren't that dear for various reasons. For starters the tractor isn't to take to bits to fit it, parts cost is a lot less (could be 2 or 3 pairs of hands parts pass through between factory and dealer, each wants their share) and obviously if there are any parts to take off that's a cost saved at factory level.

That’s understandable, I assumed given how mechanical it is, it would be fairly straightforward,
