Valtra T234 Direct

Did you sort the filter light?

Brakes were fooked but the farmer and dealer I bought it off paid for it. I know them both. Yes light is out now!

Bought a two year old N134 direct, still with 2 years warranty left, and put on a quicke q5m loader.

New model Deutz would have been lovely, but the new prices of every machinery brand are now totally beyond the reach of a hill livestock farmer.

Put 800 hours on it since October. Looking forward to the next 8000.

Looks great

Last year one of the local farms bought a lovely Valtra T174 Direct and put it to work alongside their JD fleet. 1500 hours down the line and they have just traded it in for a new 6155R as they couldn't get on with the Valtra !! Too many electrical issues apparently. I suspect its biggest failing was its lack of Green and Yellow paintwork. Although its interesting to note that the farmyard literally next door have just added a third Valtra T234 to their fleet and ousted their last JD in the process . Well we all have biases don't we.

Everyone likes different things, everyone buys what they buy for their own reasons. No ones right, no ones wrong.
People have been predicting Deere's demise for years, maybe one day they'll be right?‍

Loaders mounted very close to cab!

I'd probably put it through windscreen

Optical illusion

If the cabs moved far enough forward to touch the loader, you've crashed, spectacularly ?

I reckon the newest Valtras look pukka.

Gosh Olli989898 I don’t think they are that ugly??

I drive a valtra n174 direct and much prefer it to the other 2 tractors on the estate, a jd 6215 directdrive and a fendt 828. Obviously the valtra won't do some jobs the other 2 will but the valtra is still my first choice. My only niggle with the valtra is the time it takes to change from c-d and d-c range.
