Valmet tractor

[gemtrees]

Yer valley forestry is who is on the log book. Not sure who the nearest valtra dealers are in the north west, was thinking of taking it to our local auto electrician so see if it repairable or replace it. It works really well for us we do woodland and arb work on commercial sites so fits in well, crane got refurb at wilson's and tractor seems in good nic.

Fan was noisy on ours and blew fuses. Ordered replacement from our local valtra dealer, kept on shelf until had time to take roof off (about a year later) of course was wrong shape fan and wires different so back on phone, yes there 2 types, a few days lter got exactly right one and the job was then mucho easy and I had a fine day.

Yes we had the Valmet for 3 years before I traded it into Wilsons for a 6550 with a 570tl on the roof. We bought it from Aspen Tree Services in Kent. The 8000 was a good solid tractor and in some ways regret moving it on! Think you paid a fair price for it too less than when I bought it privately and with the refurb work done at Wilson's.The fan was noisy all the time we ran it just used it on number 1 and didn't get any trouble. The guys down here to get parts from are HC Curtis Ltd or Lister Wilders but not sure about up your way.
