Valmet owners?

[Tom D]

Thinking about buying a tractor and crane?

What should I be looking for while I am tyre kicking?

Any obvious test drive checks that could show any potential problems?

 

i'll probably be looking for a 6400:001_smile:

Haven't got clue 1 about Valmets, but if you're thinking of shifting the BCS please let me know....

 

Might be worth talking to Kevin Cowe locally, he's run a few.

Valtra valmets are usually very reliable theres one on farmertrader 6400 with a botex 560tl looks good Used VALTRA HI TROL 6400 For Sale | Farm Trader UK

There you go Tom, nice tractor:)

[Tom D]

I spoke to them about that this morning.

 

Not a bad price when you consider wilsons want over 20k for one without a crane and more hours. Its another 18k for the crane.

 

on the other hand there's loads on the net for 10-15

 

very tempting

have you ever used a roofmounted crane before?If you havent it will scare the life out of you at first but you soon get into it.And they do tend to bouce abit on the road you can either slow down or speed up both tends to stop it bouncing ha,

Dont do it tom you will regret it, WAIT for the right mog:biggrin:

 

Money can burn a hole eh?

[Tom D]

A decent mog will cost me twice as much, I can hire a 22m hiab for £55 an hour, easier to do that for the dismantles then pick it up with a roofmount. I might be sorting another yard near edinburgh soon so not so much travel either.

im only joking mate, im sure you have a plan:thumbup1:
