Have their own brand engines. The engines are positioned over the front axle and clutch is connected to gearbox by a short driveshaft. Have an excellent reputation for reliability and are said to be very easy for mechanics to work on if the need should arise. Due to the forward placed engine you get excellent traction. I have a JD 3140 (same as 2950 in US) and a Fiat 90/90, both 4wd. Love the JD but if I was buying again the Valmet would come out on top! The company now calls itself Valtra, and they have been building military arms since the 1920's. I had a friend working for me last year and he had an 8400, best traction I have seen! Try and get a drive on one, see for yourself. Follow Ups: Post A Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Re: Re: Are Valmet tractors any good?
