Valtra tractors

[Pilatus]

Do many of you have Valtra tractors on your farm? Are Valtra tractors more expensive than MF tractors but cheaper than Fendt /? I only ask as the only Valtra tractors I see , seem to have a hedgecutter on them or equipped for forestry.

Only have 6 of them here . Started with them in 1995 and have had no reason to change away.

Agco seem to be pushing valtra very hard... Also putting old valtra technology engines into Massey ..

The valtra is costing agco a lot less money on warranty claims than Massey.

Is that because there are fewer tractors sold? Or have you a breakdown average per tractor, i heard they have a few transmission problems?

They cost roughly the same (atleast here), but Valtra has a superior cab compared to Massey. They both do pull well. We've no Valtra since Case was a lot cheaper than competition.

No , per tractor valtra don't give trouble like the Massey do on average , look at speedstars 7000 series massys with 30 k in repairs in a few years. As an agco man told me , the French don't make tractors properly and they won't listen .

There’s loads in this area I love my new N4 but I think the new T series are a lot softer/less reliable than the old ones.... local dealer has changed from valtra to Deutz and a lot of people are changing over to deutz

Great tractor the Valtra ,unfortunately the service you get from the dealership is not great (not all dealers)

We run 3. The 2 T series have had same little niggles. Worst thing that broke was the water pump seal on one. We had issues with the pto not working on the N series, electrical switches in the end.
