Opinions on Valtra/Valmet tractors

Hey 15444,

What is your friend having trouble with? Are the parts not available,or what? Is his dealer not doing his job?

He bought the tractor in Glenboro, MB. We only got our V V dealer here last year. Our V V dealer carries very few parts because there are not very many V V's nearby.

O.K. I've done some looking around,about front axle ratings. Valtra has the highest front axle weight rating at 5500kgs on the size of tractor you are talking about. They like most of the industry use Dana or Carraro axles.

I don't own one of these tractors, so maybe my advice should be ignored. I probably would buy a VV if I had the money (like any other farmer!). Anyways, hopefully you can get a VV that leads to a life of problem free VV operation.

Hey 15444,

No,do not devalue your opinions. Your responses were exactly what I was looking for. I've seen all brands of tractors with problems,to some extent. Some are manufacturers problems,some are operator problems,some are maintenance problems. Anyone can break anything,nothing is invinceable. Or for that matter unstickable in enough mud either!!

Thanks for your answers.
