I've used a 8000 and 6000 series Valmets in the woods. I think a 6850 is a small sized valtra with a big engine.

 

They go most places i've started taking a 4m silky pruner with me just to get the clearance for the roof. Ground clearance is good but the turning circle can be a little large.

Ahhh cool , we are looking for a valtra thats both good in the woods and good on the road as it wil need to haul a trailer and 8 tons of timber , as well as this it will need to power our Jensen A240. although its 105hp i would think its able to cope ??

Thought about a new Valtra? A92/95 are rather nice little forest tractors. The cab is a little small for forwarding but you can manage.

 

Ours pull a 10 tonne forwarding trailer even loaded with big timber. It will also run a Bandit 150xp chipper without too many problems.

 

Saying that i'd rather have an N series you get a 4 cylinder engine rather than 3 bigger cab with a flat floor. Not that much change in phyisical size either.

 

There is a T120 vatra on ebay at the moment for about 20k.
