Valtra 174

[RastaBoy]

morning
On verge of purchasing a 174 60k job.
Anyone got one ?
Only worry is £590 excess on big repair.
Lovely piece of kit.

 

[Spear]

An N or T and didn’t think they sell them as 60k although I’d say that’s what it is unrestricted

 

[RastaBoy]

T. It did 59 on test drive told not been pdi but will do 60k

 

[Spear]

Mine does 50k one gear down from top and 55k in top or 40k and 50k in eco mode.

Just double checked deffo 60k. As an option.
Are you pleased with yours ?
Did you take out extended warranty?

60 k spec has to have updated tyres and front brakes I believe , over 50 k version... Apart from that awesome tractor that will outdo it's competition

Have you had one long ? Any issues ?

 

[Spear]

Just over a year. Nothing serious. Getting used to braking with unladen big trailers the worst.

Ours is 50 k , no issues at all it's a t194 had it since launch , had a go of the latest smart touch one not long ago dealer told us the spec difference on the 60 k option

Ours is a versu , there are only two things I would improve on the tractors the change speed between c and d is still a little slow n the time it takes for link arms to come down. After that isn't a better power shift tractor on the market don't care what anyone says about fendt jd valtra is superior machine, n thats the reason they are selling so many 4 series

Yes I have to agree , I see the new models taking out JD and fendt on farms where there never was a valtra before .

We’re changing from a fendt 718 to a Valtra T234 direct. Due end of July. Couldn’t justify the £20k extra for the fendt 724.

Saved money and bought a better tractor

So why is it that Valtra are suddenly the flavour of the month ?
Seem to have suddenly become the tractor of choice

They were always a great tractor , but some lads didn't like the cab lay out or the comfort , but these new models are in a differant league and lads are now realising how good they are , also valtra have improved while other top brands have gone backwards.

 

[colhonk]

The latest models have improved a lot. They now have more PTO speeds ( like most others have had for years) and cab layout a lot better.

JD MF NH case, fendt. I think none of them are reliable as they use to be.
