Gav836 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Yes we are, should be having a Case Puma CVX, MF 7485 or 7490, Valtra T172 or 182 Direct, maybe a Deutz-Fahr and maybe a John Deere 7430 but the latter is unlikely now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 why no jd now then gav? be intrested in the views on the valtra to, good few of those arround down here, most with tim bloye contractors, all t 's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I too am going to be very interested in what you have to say about these models... especially the red one... having read oooooodles of reviews about the 7400's I am interested to see if your views are the same mate. I'm hoping for a 6480 demo in the near future myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Well the no JD thing comes down to the amount of problems mine has been, when it broke down last week (same problem as back in April!!!!)my boss said its got to go and it won't be a JD in its place. I'm looking forward to the MF demo I have to say as i think they've come on a long way since the last heap of red scrap I drove (6150), the Valtra demo was my doing, I had a look round one at the Norfolk show and was impressed with it and the build quality of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberthenning Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Yes we are, should be having a Case Puma CVX, MF 7485 or 7490, Valtra T172 or 182 Direct, maybe a Deutz-Fahr and maybe a John Deere 7430 but the latter is unlikely now i think the deere or the cvx would be the pick of that bunch, few contractors in our part have went valtra and one has wnet away form them and the other has a few problems too. we have two the n's arent a terribly great tractor, but the t's are fair enough think the newer ones are better but pretty over priced compareds to what else is out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy140 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Them valtras aren't bad now gav. I'm meant to be tryin a case maxxum but god knows why because if we were to trade my MX in for one of them we would be going backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I'd agree with you there Will, those old MX's were a damn good tractor with the engine note to match, you could hear our old MX150 ploughing from the other side of the farm, had her opened up to MX170 power levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 i look forward to hearing your views on the Valtra and Deutz the only ones i would pick out that list, i guess it will be down to best deal at the end of the day. How long do you get a demonstrator for nowadays? i always think a couple of days isnt enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I had the New Holland for a week back in the spring but a couple of days is the norm these days a lot of the time, especially if there is a waiting list for demo's. Personally I aren't that bothered about the Deutz as looking at the brochure I can see a few things I don't like on it already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Gav don't knock the jd just because you got a friday machine, test them all and fairly, then decide, and remember about your dealer backup, thats sometimes more important than the brandname Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 thats a good point ricky, although if gavs boss has made that comment and hes paying for it, i guess his minds been made up, we saw mf get pulled apart reputation wise all them years back with the 61 series ,maybe jd is experiancing it now with its 20 series??

Gav836 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 They're off the list Sean, we want a cvt transmission again due to the potato harvesting The Axion was nice Blake but just too bulky for what we want it for and the turning circle is poor when put in to 72" track width. Unfortunatelt the cvt Arion coming out this year will be too small for us at 150hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberthenning Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 u lot must be sore on em the mechanics here have taken on other work other than JD to keep busy!! the JD dealer showed me the statistics for the 20 vs the 30 series in terms o warrenty repairs, the difference was shocking I take it you mean the 30 series are better?? I thought one would have been as good as the other. Altho have heard the new standard series are second to none for reliability at the moment Also Gav if you find the Claas have bad lock wait until you get the valtra out they would not have the best lock in their clas either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Don'T forget to ask which Claas ttractors are fitted with a Deere engine..... At least the deere has got it's own engine under the hood..
