All New 2018 Challenger MT700 Tractor

[@darrenjlobb]

Good salesman. Credit to the company. Hope he gets some credit for his performance here.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Ash did an awesome job. Cool video BTP! I really like the new Challenger line up.

[@bigtractorpower]

I saw Ash made it in your NFMS video. Challenger is getting good coverage on KZbin.

I can’t say I’ve been impressed by anything agco has put out and I don’t think this is an exception. Rip allis charmers wish could still be with us.

[@adamrogers3946]

I really like that they finally got a cvt in some of these track tractors. Hopefully you can catch one of these some time soon.

[@bigtractorpower]

I hope to see one in action this year. Maybe in E-Town at loyal AGCO farm ;)

[@adamrogers3946]

Haha. Along with a 9824 white.

[@jrewing5886]

Since I commented on the Case IH and Deere tracked type tractors, I thought I might offer up a few words regarding this tracked tractor. Simply put, don't be fooled by its size. The power to weight ratio is such that this tractor can pretty much pull anything, anywhere, anytime. Yes, it's that exceptional, but the thing is, like all tracked tractors today currently on the market, maintenance cost can be daunting to even the most wealthiest farming operation. I like this tractor. Its Cat D11 sort of look is quite cool, but I'm sure the overwhelming vast majority of farmers investing in such a tractor probably don't care so much how it looks versus how it actually performs. Each tracked tractor, from each of the most popular manufacturers, has its own dynamic. Finding the right tracked tractor for your particular operation might simply come down to power and operational cost, but maintenance must certainly be a major part of the overall decision. The Challenger is a great looking tractor. Obviously, it has less maintenance issues versus the quad type tractors with their 4 separate bogie systems. However, they're tracked, therefore likely to suffer from higher maintenance cost. Still, most farmers might find this tractor more nimble, more maneuverable and less of a hassle in certain type farming operations. 🚜☀🇺🇸

[@bigtractorpower]

I find the track tractors excel in tillage. They can pull larger implements faster. The added cost can be compensated in being done with task in half the time.

[@TroianusEquus]

Intelligent questions, also very narratively capable interlocutor. Textbook example of a great video.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@ReolSPro]

finally some presentation skills

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@cupslinga]

Looking forward to the MNmillennialfarmer extended demo, seems a lot of noses out of joint against non JD, but competition drives new concepts and levels of service

[@bigtractorpower]

The new MT700 is very nice. I just filmed one grain carting on a local farm. Very smooth. I am sure Zach will like it.

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

Impressive. I really like it and it seems the one major improvement overall is the added hydraulic features throughout. I haven’t seen where the tractors have dual systems either where they can be dedicated to just the implement.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@mrih1586]

Almost as good as seeing it at the show. And probably more info than most show attendees got. Thanks

[@generationll]

Very impressive styling.Leading the industry in 2 track tractors

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video BTP, the Tractor I like in this range is the 775, thanks for sharing

[@bigtractorpower]

The Challnger 775 is a nice tractor. The 775 is now the Fendt 943 MT Vario

[@Wiking419]

I know it's in Challenger colours with it's tracks and engine but it radiates Fendt, a simplified one. Btw. Challenger hood and cab design looks better for tracked type.

[@prax3956]

You would really benefit from a wide angle lens for your camera during these ag shows.

[@alexveldhuis6004]

Does this have the SISU 7 cylinder engine in it ?

[@Farmerknowsbest]

Very pleased to see the cat walk around the cab. A major oversight on the previous mt700's. Is there a steerable 3pt hitch option like on the mt800s?

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. I am not sure on the hitch. It is very handy on the MT800s.

[@andreww.9939]

Definitely a sharp looking machine!

[@bigtractorpower]

It sure stands out. Thank you for watching.

[@Digger927]

What a machine! I want to see someone make a skidsteer loader out of one of these beasts!

[@bigtractorpower]

Leon made a loader for the Challenger 35, 45 and 55. In essence it was a big skid steer.

[@Digger927]

Really? Neat, gotta link?

[@fabricio__sb4330]

Awesome Big tractor power, grate job!

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@thehayteamtv6830]

[@bigtractorpower]

👍👍

[@remi.3920]

Vraiment très beau tracteur

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@alanirishkelly6704]

That’s a fine looking German fendt painted yellow

[@c_games5665]

Alan Irish Kelly they are made in America

[@harrimanfox8961]

It's a Challenger but crammed with Fendt components

[@c_games5665]

Harriman Fox exactly I think the Fendt components and the challenger tractor itself makes it an amazing tractor challenger has the best tractors but the cabs have always been mediocre

[@bobearl7859]

I see fiat's got the same hood and light pattern is it the same machine just different colors

[@bigtractorpower]

AGCO owns Fendt and Challenger.

[@roynelson7613]

It sure does look like a beast man and it will get the job done no doubt that's what I see but Farmers that actually use these I'm sure they have a different opinion but it sure looks nice man

[@bigtractorpower]

Challenger makes a good tractor. Thank you for watching.

[@roynelson7613]

bigtractorpower I tell you what man all these awesome tractors and different brands and everybody has their own style and what they like and the technology nowadays is just mind-blowing lots of people really don't know what Farmers really go through on a everyday basis if anybody needs love it's the farmers that's for sure and these big tractors you just got to love watching the videos I'm in a wheelchair I don't know if I would ever be able to get on another tractor but I would love to I grew up as a kid farming

[@mossjones7375]

Roy Nelson There powerful also to be such a small tractor

[@roynelson7613]

moss jones I totally agree with that my friend

[@austinseubert6047]

I resently toured the Jackson plant everyone is very professial and there are lots of quality check points

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool.

[@andrzejl8451]

Wow Impressive tractor!

[@najgerbranko]

Jeremy Wade at 8.59 on the right side?

[@ISAFMobius18]

this is going to look great in my Farming Simulator game.

[@Steve51983]

I for one think it's a sharp looking tractor.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@Creeperboy099]

Still powered by CAT engine now?

[@bigtractorpower]

No they use an AGCO engine now.

[@Creeperboy099]

bigtractorpower I see

[@bigtractorpower]

The AGCO engines do well. They have allot of torque.

[@jakub5772]

Chellenger now is fendt?

[@nbooker7504]

KubaBuba :D no. Both is agco now.

[@Seveneleven44]

I came for the Rhodes Scholars’ comments on how this is a fendt. Some people have no life.

[@bigtractorpower]

It has Fendt transmission but it is all Challenger on the tracks and AGCO engine.

[@tractorcorleone]

Maybe the strongest tractors on the planet ??

[@bigtractorpower]

The Challenger is a well built tractor. The strongest tractor on the planet is the 1,100 hp Big Bud 16V-747.

[@tractorcorleone]

Thank you very much for the information.

[@williamgreenway9893]

Like I said before, I was never to kem on a track one.Because I never run one when I was a farmhand.

[@AgrarfilmeNorddeutschland]

[@Sirisma]

My favorite tractors for field work in FS 17 because of the turning radius

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool to know.

[@floweringo]

Looks nice, but I would prefer jd 8rt anyway

[@johnbates7424]

When did challenger stop being made by Cat?

[@bigtractorpower]

AGCO took over Challenger production in 2001. Truthfully CAT never made the row crop Challenger. The original 35, 45 and 55 were made at the New Holland/Versatile factory in Canada. If you look at those original models they are New Holland Genesis hood and cab.

[@c_games5665]

bigtractorpower very true but the tractor was still designed with cat, it still had a cat engine, but yes they were built in the New Holland plant

[@Dean009]

I would wonder if fendt was not in agco Waht style of wich brand they would thean copy. I don’t understand why challenger Copy two of the same Traktor from fend.

[@bigtractorpower]

AGCO acquired Fendt in 1997. The Fendt transmission has been used in most AGCO built tractors since 2006. AGCO acquired Valtra in 2003. Many AGCO tractors today use Valtra engines and Fendt transmission. Fendt has some of the most advanced tractors on the market. Fendt has a limited dealer network in the U.S. Offering Fendt through Challenger expands Fendt production and sales in North America. The MT700 is a Challenger built tractor with Fendt styling. Offering Challenger tractors in Fendt colors in Europe helps expand production and sales.

[@nbooker7504]

Dean Nestle agco owns them both

[@culmalachie]

Altogether, a good short informative clip. What bothers me with modern trends though, is that it looks like becoming a young persons'toy. I like to "play" too but eyesight begins to cause grief - Variefocals drive me around the twist - looking at screens and then looking out at those wide seeders, so far away!! - I can manage perfectly fine with standard Lenses or even without and drive safely - even on the Highways. HAS ANYONE had grief with those LCD displays in the extreme cold we are experiencing this current winter? No display until warms up - so can't do much takes so long to warm up!

[@ivanmoreau1798]

Since when is hydraulic drive more efficient over anything else.?... it's the least efficient of any

[@ivanmoreau1798]

Yes electric is most efficient

[@interman7715]

Ivan Moreau change for change sake ,one more system to fail.

[@MrGHOHLS]

Just go look how case does it with the magnum cvx it uses hydraulic combined with mechanical. They have 4 places in the rpm where the tractor is 100% mechanical

[@94Gidge]

Drew w an electric motor to spin that fan would draw a shit load of current even at 24 volt. That hydraulic motor would be capable of putting out over 50 horse so it wouldnt even know the fan is there.

[@yogitango]

Belt drive off the crank is the most efficient

[@noelhohberger1188]

That is a great tractor

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@agrospol3342]

good work and nice machine, thumb up & greetings :)

[@patrickdail3508]

One thing I do know, Challenger is the roughest ride out there! Kidneys beware.

[@bigtractorpower]

I have not found that. I have been filming them since 2006. The ones I film have the tracks widened out. When they are narrowed in they are less smooth. Which models have you run?

[@hunsadersrockinranch]

I have. It's a very rough ride. the seats are just bolted to the floor. At least it feels like it. Great tractor very rough ride. the wheel tractors are the ones I'm talking about. I never experianced a track Challenger.

[@mlsmith9012]

too bad agco forgot its roots. e.p. allis is rolling over in his grave. i'll keep my allis- chalmers..thanks.

[@bigtractorpower]

I am a big AC fan. Mow my lawn with an AC. If you look at the Challenger logo it is the AGCO triangle with a C for Challenger in it. The AC 190XT, D-21 and the 220 has industrial versions in yellow. To me Challenger continues AC. If AGCO had not made the purchases it had many of the brands and parts would have gone away. The company made tough choices to ensure it could grow. Allis-Chalmers was a merger of two equipment companies and it bought other brands like Rumley and Monarch. Tractor production and brands have continued to evolve over the past 100 Years.

[@farmyardfab]

I wish someone other then duetz would have purchased allis charmers I feel like the Germans didn’t respect the allis name and reputation. If they would have kept production at west allis I think we would be using agco today but sadly we are almost all case IH

[@carlkidder7522]

if agco would stand behind there tractors it would not be that bad, but they don't

[@ebinecksdee9872]

Jesus, there are a lot of people getting heated over this. I'm just here from farming simulator 17.

[@bigtractorpower]

How can BTP help farming simulator fans? It’s a fun program.

[@ebinecksdee9872]

bigtractorpower I'm not exactly sure but Farming Simulator has definitely opened up my eyes to an entire community of extremely dedicated people. I've also never realized how much goes into building these impressive machines. I guess one of the ways BTP could help Farming Simulator fans is by showcasing some of the tractors that are featured in the program and showing some of the finer details that Farming Simulator didn't quite get.

[@bigtractorpower]

I can work on that. It would be a fun project. Stay tuned.

[@ebinecksdee9872]

bigtractorpower alright, thanks. I'll be looking forward to it.

[@blackmamba24dm]

Why does it look like a Fendt 1050 Vario

[@bigtractorpower]

Fendt and Challenger are owned by AGCO. Fendt styling is the new look for Challenger tractors.

[@adrianolima6225]

eu preferia que a challenger continuasse semdo da catepillar que não tivesse sido vendido para essa bosta da AGCO eles estão acabando com a challenger e so ver os modelos da chellenger 2017x2018 tao ficando igual ao da fendt porque aAGCO tambe e dona da marca fendt

[@interman7715]

Cvt is the latest trend ,has failed in cars imho I would go for the powershift trans, proven and dependable.

[@Nicolasdu5]

interman 77 vario is the way to go, long time proven too

[@mataiterapreha]

Vario has been around a long time, having driven both variants in the new holland range i couldnt justify the higher price tag of the vario even though they seem to be as reliable if not more than the powershift these days.

[@interman7715]

mataiterapreha I just checked it out ,looks like a good system that fendt I believe pioneered ,also seems to incorporate some hydrostatic engineering that IHC pioneered in their hydro tractors years ago.

[@interman7715]

Benjamin Minor Have you paid to fix it out of warranty yet ? What the hell is wrong with an auto car anyway or can't your delicate body take the smooth shifting of the modern auto? And as for tractors, straight gearboxes and powershifts have done the the job thus far or have farmers lost the ability to find the right gear for the job ? How about power loss in cars and tractors ,hydrostatic drives lose a lot more power than straight gearboxes, untill you have run a fleet of farm machinery and realize what's involved ,keep your smart arse comments to yourself.

[@MarcinSniperek]

Fend = Challenger

[@kubatomczak8036]

This is FENDT 900 VARIO MT !?!?!?!? What the fack !?!?!?!?

[@bigtractorpower]

The Fendt 900 MT is a Challenger MT700 painted green. They are both built in Jackson, MN. We will be seeing AGCO unite Challenger and Fendt more and more.
