[LGP Eddie]

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.

Very nice unit Eddie, Who is your nearest dealer? had a look at the valtra's a couple of years ago,not tried one yet but still very tempted to have one on demo.....

[LGP Eddie]

The nearest dealer is David Eaton Tractors and I did a deal with Mark Eaton having expressed an interest earlier in the year in a new N111 and then going into his yard to view an older unit just to get some projects completed.

 

I decided the way forward was to hire this N101 as it's only got 1300 hrs on it and it's completely basic spec which is ideal for different drivers.

The idea being to learn what works and what doesn't for me, plus will it find enough for itself to pay it's way.

 

It's doing brilliantly so far and to be quite honest my wish list isn't that long of things I'd like on a prospective purchase.

Hoping to keep it on for a few more months and then decide if to buy or not.

 

If you've not tried one then I'd say there's certainly nothing to be lost in having a demo, and probably plenty of fuel to be saved!
