[QUOTE="agri knives, post: 7368905, member: 944"] And the fellows who don’t like valtras and run them down have never owned one , there was a lad here who hated valtras because the spool valve levers were facing the wrong way for him , or a lad that can’t see the pick up hitch or a lad who thinks they are ugly , all serious reasons to run down a tractor. But when you have over 65,000 hours of hard work put on valtras with very little trouble , and I could say near no trouble , only wear and take issues after big hours , no continuous petty stupid issues or electrical faults , tractors that you can trust with 15,000 hours on them to go and do a summers work with out letting you down . The amount of high hour valtras turning up these days is growing fast, when i see contractors running tractors with 25,000 hours on them and they working away the same as the first day , I met a contractor spreading slurry on a farm one day , he had a t170 on a 3500 gallon tanker with 27000 hours on it and a t 170 with 24000 on it working away the same as new and I asked him when was he trading up, he answer was “Why change them there working away and giving no trouble what more will a new one do , it’s money I’m making , not spending” . I never meet contractors running other brands to these crazy high hours , and why , because they need realibi lite and don’t trust their brands , well I’ve no problem trusting a valtra to just simply stay doing the job that I bought it for. This thing of changing tractors every 5 or 6 years is some waste of money. If you can’t trust your tractor to do at least 15-18000 hours then there is a problem with the tractor. [/QUOTE]
