«A few years ago we needed to replace our old T-150 tractor», – says Vasyl Ivanovych Shumyhora, director of the “Nemyrivske” agricultural LLC.

«We spent a long time on this question, because the market has a huge number of machinery offers from various brands, but we decided to settle on Valtra. So what interested us most? The tractor has a separate oil reservoir between the gearbox and the hydraulics, and the hydraulic oil for the attached equipment doesn’t mix with the oil in the gearbox. There’s also a suspended front axle. Many field operations are done diagonally, at an angle to the plowing direction – disking, cultivating… And this option makes the tractor operator’s job much easier, more comfortable. What’s more, in the future we plan to use the tractor not just with agricultural implements, but also for transport work, and for that you need pneumatic brakes, which come as standard on this tractor. And, let’s just say, this tractor configuration suits us very well. With other brands, everything we needed could only be ordered as an option, but that would also come with certain problems…

So what can we say about our T234 tractor?

Overall we’re happy with the tractor’s performance. Right now the machine has logged 730 engine hours, and there haven’t been any serious problems with it. In the future, if we manage to grow our land bank, we’ll probably buy another one of these tractors. And overall we recommend Valtra machinery to farm operators – it deserves your attention and won’t let you down».
