Shropshire contractor Bill Preston of Rowton in Shropshire is the first to take delivery of Valtras new Direct series featuring Valtras new CVT transmission.
Bill, a long term Valtra owner and operator undertakes a considerable amount of work for organic vegetable growers TC & N Taylor – from primary cultivation right through to harvest including weeding, an operation requiring considerable care and accuracy. Bill feels that the Valtra Directs ability to provide speeds from a standing start to over 20mph provides the type of control necessary when working in a wide variety of organic crops including potatoes, onions and carrots. The Direct transmission is also highly useful for simpler jobs including hedge trimming where the ability to change speeds to match conditions saves time and effort.
