Made some hay, it had gone a bit strong but we weren't able to cut it when we wanted to due to rain.

If I had looked at the pics up the page I wouldnt have had to ask!

Has it been a good tractor for you?

Well to be honest knowing what I know today we probably wouldn't have bought it. Gearbox had to be done 2 years ago and the year before a seal went between backend and engine. And there's the odd electrical error but that's not usually anything major. The 7.5l powerstar is a beast tough and it's the one thing that saves this tractor in my mind.

Pity the 8340 didnt come with SLDP!

Agreed, that would have been a very reliable beast.

Replaced the old Ford last week with something a little fresher, it's a T162 Direct. Now i know you are not the biggest Valtra fans on here but at least i hope someone appreciate the big rubber shes got
