A question for the tractor owners.

[Valtra1982]

I'm currently on 8150 which was an upgrade from 6400. I tow a botex 560tl and euro12 14 trailer. I find it wee bit clumsy in wood compared to the 6400 due to its size. I do a lot of road work these days so it does burn through the fuel. I'm up and down the a9 and feel the 8150 is abit underpowered for that. New tractor next year will be t131 with the tuning chip fitted to around 170hp

I used to hire a newish jd 160 hp and tow 14 tonne behind it was great on the flat but steep hills used to drop through the box like a stone.

I had a look at a couple of n series, one was 140ish HP and the other was 175+hp all that from a 4 cylinder!!! Very impresive compact machines. As for power the more you have the more you want. If you have 130hp and have a go in something with 200hp you'll want 200hp
