Valtra 6850....considering buying one. opinions?

[FrankMaddock]

I have been looking closely at buying a used Valtra 6850 . Smoking price. and reverse station too. Looking for comments and experiences. I understand AGCO isn't importing them to Canada any more. Though the AGCO dealer says parts are available. Be ruthless and brutal if you must.

Mostly a good tractor. Sisu engine is perhaps one of the most easy to start engines in the cold. These tractors are pretty common where I live so I've run some variations throughout the years, do you know if it's turbine clutsh in this?
If so, it takes a little time to learn to drive it especially down hills With a trailer when the turbine clutch do not hold back in the same way as a conventional tractor.
