Operating A Valtra Hi-Tech

MKL1980 · Oct 3, 2010

Just wondering if any of you guys ever had the pleasure of operation Valtra HI-tech with N-auto feature. See I just replaced a EEM2 control on a Valtra. So I wanted to run it a bit to besure I would get no error codes. Well this tractor has it all air suspension. It's just loaded. Any way I hooked it to a baler and start baling and my uncle said put it in"N-auto" so I did I didn't know the tractor had such a feature. So I did, this is a dream for baling you never have to press the clutch just drive it like a car using the brake. To me for baling hay this has to be one of the best features I ever seen on a tractor. Would like to see how some of you like it, that had the chance to use it

What model ?. Had a few valtras in the past but not a high-tech , I liked the 8350-8550etc but the T series were very troublesome for us .

A 8350, I worked on some T series. I also replaced a EEM2 on the T-190. And that seemed to solve all the petty lilttle troubles. But Man these tractor are built so strong. And there technology is out of the world. We split a 6850 Hi-tech to replace the synchronizers fro the DPS and I went and reprogrammed the pressures or the DPS shifting and it never been back. I'm really impresses with these tractors. Thanks for responding

the 8000's just seemed to be in a different league reliability wise and not just electrically , The T 120 and 160 that we had needed front axle work ,hyd pumps,Seat breaking up and constant joystick/arm rest replacements Even cab and trim parts falling off ..in the first year ?
I had a 8350 in that horrible puke claas green dynod 150 pto ...that tractor was awesome ! just wish it was in blue lol ..would pull the T160 to pieces .

Yea I totally agree the T series are very high tech. But not as sound as the 700,800,900. And the 8350-8650. These tractor are beast. I really like the brazlian style in the 100 series open stations. I like the third stick for shuttle shifting. I been all over In program on the hi-techs and T series. It's pretty neat how much more u can see with the multi-tool. That's used to program in the tractors. Are you a farmer. And If so what do you farm ?
