Valtra t163e

[1690turbo]

Just wondered if anyone has a t163e? And their opinion on them ? Looking at one at the moment. Changing McCormick mtx140

I've a T183V and love it, does everything I need it to. Never driven an Eco version though maybe someone else can help u with that.

Thought all 163 were e versions. This is also a versu have n142v too made me want another Valtra.

Have you any issues with it ? Also a 203 direct in the melting pot

Valtra are good, but are the Eco models are thought to be a bit lacking / down in power are they not? (no personal experience).

They don't rev so high so feel like the fuel filter is needing changed!

They have a Eco on/off switch. They said that max torque is around 15-1800 rpm

Oh well, its prob ok then. Just what I have heard before. I guess you would need to try it to see.

I have tried the eco models and as said earlier, felt I needed to rev them hard to keep going, so didn't go for it.
I go for the standard one, with plenty of horse power to cover job you're doing, then throttle back and enjoy.

have a T151 eco on eco pulls like a train but need to be in full power for PTO work and fully wound up

mate has a 163 loves it has the bigger motor in it i think that the early E's so should pull better
i'm not 100% sure but think the ad blue model is the older motor revamped so hangs on alot better brakeing down hills etc

No issues yet, it's only done 2800hours so far but knowing valtras they are usually very reliable and good for high hours, got electric spools which are great but that's my only concern with long term reliability as there's a lot to go wrong with them compared to conventional spools. Don't know if I'd have the versu box again, there's quite a delay between range changes and u can't pull away in D1 with a load on if hauling somthing etc. I'd go back to good old high tech box if I had another.

Had a deal in the end. T203 direct. Think might take some getting used to! But just what I want for the potato harvester.

Not s bad choice st all! Friend has one and felt that the transmission uses that much of the power that he needed to chip it to get it back to anything like it should be

Well done, I'm sure you'll be chuffed to bits with it!
