Valtra T series Users

[DanT171]

Hi everyone, as probally guessed by the profile name, I run a Valtra T171, with 7200 hrs on and I'm looking to update to either a 202 or 213, could you help me get some advise on wether there any good or not and users experiences?? I'm not sure as would prefer a Hi tec model, but the hydraulic pump an oil capacity puts me off! But the electrics and complicity of the versus makes me nervous as to running costs? And to be honest I can't find a 2000hr or lower tractor anywere all seem to have 4000hrs plus on. And are the 3 range better than the 2's??? Any advice would be much appreciated.

I run a T 182 direct and it's very good, the 3 series go to add blue but do have hi tech 5 if the versu isn't for you. The versu I tried on demo before going Direct was very impressive, I get on very well with electronic spools, but they're not everyone's cup of tea.

Thanks, I had a cvx tractor in 2005, and tbh I personally prefered being in a gear, hence , versu not a direct but has your tractor been reliable? And has it done much work? There aren't many around secondhand, and cont justify the 85k price tag of a new one!

 

[Jon]

Just over 2000 hours, been very reliable, silly little things under warranty, linkage sensor, ignition barrel, but nothing to stop it starting, or working.
It might be worth talking to one or two dealers as to models coming in as I believe trade ins use to be exported.
Would an ex demonstrator come into your price bracket ?

I've moved this thread to the machinery section for you.

Almost yes, but I think its strong money for the spec, as no cab suspension or push back hitch, and on 20.8,s but perfect in every other way,do you know the dealer?

Iv found an ex hire tractor at 66k but I think its unfortuntly going to be too much, which is a shame as its the best value for money with a thousand hours on, do you know of any or have something in mind?

 

[Jon]

No, no help I'm afraid, just tried to give ideas.
If you approach a valtra franchise ask about finance, they seem to be very keen to help.

I thought hi-tech 5 was only available in the n series upto 120s or whatever model there on now.

You can have a 90lpm pump on a hitech.

 

[Jon]

Yep, sorry eulb you're probably right, use to know where I was with three speed hi-tech and that's it.

Yeah ,but is the 1594 just a rebadged Case IH 235?

 

[John 1594]

Yeah ,but is the 1594 just a rebadged Case IH 235?

its not even sure itself i dont think, this last few weeks it seems to have morphed itself into a prototype 5130!!!!

 

[DrDunc]

Yeah ,but is the 1594 just a rebadged Case IH 235?

I hadn't heard of a case 235, so googled it.....

I must have been a wee lad when I last drove a 1594, I was sure it was a big tractor....

We have dealt with them for years.A very trustworthy outfit.
A shame it,s not quite right for you but something will turn up.

Also available in white......its actually a Mitsubishi MT180, or if its hydro a MT180HD, local dealer sold quite a few back in the day, as they were not a bad little tractor, but the hydro's did have a habit of breaking the hi/low gearlever if you forrced it.

 

[fergie35]

@Valtra1 he might have some ideas for you.

 

[james ds]
