T's are huge though in comparison to my massey 399.... the n is slightly bigger and heavier (than the 399) so still should be a sturdy bus in my eyes. I'll look into re map prices and chips etc before i do anything

Don't get me wrong I think the  N series are the best midsize tractors out there. You just feel the difference when you jump up to the 6 cylinder sisu engine. 

 

If you want a compact forest valtra do think of the a series. I personally find them a little cramped but I'veforwarded and skidded with a 95hp one and other than my comfort it was flawless. I wouldn't want to haul the 10t botex trailer too much further than a few miles with it. Since then they have offered a 134hp option that is basic but powerful. Having driven it I prefer the N but nowadays my use is more agricultural than forestry.

 

Try out a cvt version if you get the chance. Some hate it but I really like the way it works but a lot of forestry people like a powershift gearbox more.
