Show your tractors

[WoodED]

Just thought I'd post a pic of the Vatra N101 that I currently have on an extended hire to test the water a bit with them.

 

I've been delighted with how it's been performing on a range of duties and it's proving to be very economical on fuel.

 

I really need something with a few more HP, possibly a 121 as I can't really go bigger or heavier? But this hire period has been a great learning curve and I'm slowly forming a wish list for any prospective purchase.

 

It's pictured today second time out with the Farmi 260hfc which it run's/handles with ease, and as we're clearing willow off a wetland it's got the duals all round.

 

I've always been a true blue man, 10 series or TW but this Valtra has really got under my skin and I'd be sad to see it go back now.

Well it's been a bit of a trying week and lets just say we've had a few incidents.

 

However I was very kindly helped out by Mark Eaton with a low loader at absolutely no notice to get the 5 tonne machine off site and also ended up with a couple of hours in this beauty!

 

It's an N142 Versu and what I can tell you it was simply awesome!

 

A real pocket rocket and so quick/comfortable on the road, but a bit over the top for my needs!

Nice to try though and if I were driving it day in day out it would certainly be the way I'd go.

Hoping to get an N111 for a few days as one has just come in, and this may help decide if that's enough HP or I need to go to the N121.

 

No comment on the other picture!

Love the older tractors!

Fast trac dude, what speed can you legally do on the road?

[fastracdude]

Well the 2170 will do 42mph on the road,which is fast enough from job to job. For full legality im told its right due to air braking and full suspension,also fitted with ABS system too...
