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.

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

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

Makes sense, so the tractor is almost built around it rather thank the it just being a straight forward add on,
 
So what’s the issue? From the factory it doesn’t seem that expensive,
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,
