valtra t 213

[Busy Daddy]

I need a bit more horsepower so am thinking of upgrading my old t170 to a t 213

Does anybody run one or have heard any good or bad points

Thanks

How old is the t170 ?

[Brushcutter]

Thirsty like most Valtras.

 

I saw the new series at SIMA this week. They're getting closer to farm tractors now rather than forest.

Its an 04

I need to nearly double the amount of chip I produce in the day

but it looks like I will need more horsepower than the t 213 so it looks like an s series or magnum I think

What chipper do you have?

What about a used Fendt?

[Busy Daddy]

Its a heizohack

I hear so many bad reports about fendts and lack of torque , high hours and expensive

By all accounts they are very good farm tractors but maybe not as good on a chipper ????

Claas Xerion or Axion. You'd need to change the seats as the one i looked at didn't spin around. Lots of HP though.

 

I know a few people who run forestry Fendts mainly for mulchers rather than chippers.

I of 2 people who ran the cl;ass tractors and have both sold them and bought fendts
