Challenger 1050 Tractor Pulling a 14 Bottom Plow in Illinois

[@barrybardo3249]

Nice to see somebody plowing and not trying to break the land speed record

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Now if you’re gonna be fall plowing ya gotta do it right. Open station tractor with a heat houser and straight pipe just screaming away in the frosty air. Lol. Nice setup. I’ve seen a lot of videos of guys out west plowing in a circle like that rather than in lands. Always wondered how they finished up the unplowed corners and the center when it gets to tight to turn.

[@cormacbrowne9571]

I don't know about the corners, but i have read that a suitable sized square should be ploughed in the centre of the field and then you plough in to meet it.

[@samspade4634]

What a great Christmas gift Mike, Thank You. It takes me back about 50 years to when we all ploughed. Of course an 8 bottom plough was huge back then, but still great memories. I actually "met" my wife of 32 years when I was in the 4440 with a JD expandable 6 bottom. Thanks again and Merry Christmas.

That's a beast of a tractor for sure. Those 1050's get it done. Can hardly hear it working. Awesome video Mike!!

that's cause they trying to keep from running out of fuel, they guzzle the fuel big time

[@joegotz1971]

I plowed with a Case 1370 with a 7 bottom plow and a IH 4166 with a 7 bottom plow. I am really impressed with this Challenger and 14 bottom plow combination.

[@bobogilvie4472]

Brings back a lot of good memories and afew bad . Still not anything in field work like it

Nice video mike less I remember getting a scale model fendt 1050 vario at this year’s farm progress show

[@jameslipe4080]

Love challenger tractors

[@davidt1514]

It is so weird not seeing mountains in the distance on your videos. Here in northern Norway 🇳🇴 we have small fields and mountains all around us

[@chadshafer8095]

This is Awesome. I love the 1050 Fendts with the 14Bt Plow. These are My Favorite FWD Tractor on the Market.

[@mnfarmer194]

I plowed for 55 years and never seen a field plowed around the whole fields. Around here if the field was planted north and south that’s the way it was plowed and when that was done the ends were plowed. Plows are ment to plow straight around corners

[@rdekort9273]

Thats the best tractor build to date

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

I got out my little teeny tiny four bottom plow pulled it behind the 4020 this year and I thought I was plowing, thanks Mike.

[@TimberTitansUS]

*I'm intrigued by the technology used in these agriculture machines. Which one do you think would help farmers maximize crop yields the most?*

[@charlesjenkins8078]

Great video Mike. Watching it on the road as we are driving back from Florida.thanks a million

[@lonely3405]

I like the agco tractors. Run Massey on a cattle farm

[@donaldthomas5852]

Growing up in Kentucky in the 60's-early 70's the largest plow we had was a 4 bottom plow 4.16's pulled . Today I have the same 4.16's plow a Massey Ferguson #88. To pull it I have a 1990 Massey Ferguson 3070 92hp.

[@Esteban-Matamoros]

I really love Challenger / Fendt tractors! Great video!!!

[@kennethgreen2829]

Great Video Mike. This is my favourite job to do, the smell of fresh turn soil can't be beat. I've spent many very happy and long days, mainly on heavy clay doing this and when trying to beat the weather I've done more than a few over nighters too when we were contract ploughing.

[@myronparks3495]

I really enjoyed this video Mike. When my dad was farming he would always plow some ground when the weather allowed him to. He always carried a 10 inch Crescent wrench. He said if any of that wrench was above the ground it wasn't deep enough. Lol.

[@SlipShodBob]

I know one local used to swear wheat did better following on from OSR (Canola) after ploughing and then would deep rip with a Simba Great Plains tool that was like the Sumo Trio. But different things work for different ground, setups and people. Our neighbour gets on well hitting his wheat or barley fields a couple of times with his Vaderstad carrier discs then drilling OSR in with a tined drill or just direct drilling it in with everything else will get the top inch worked 3 times over several weeks to get any losses and weeds to germinate then killed off with the next pass before going over with his Trio once with the discs to smooth it over then drill with their disc drill

[@404nitro]

Merry Christmas Mike and family (and fellow viewers)!!

[@SimonKL11]

Yellow tractors look great😉👍 plowing action is always cool👍😁 Merry christmas🎄

[@davidarnett5113]

I would thought they would be plowing a little deeper than they are. Good video! Merry Christmas to the Mike Less family from Mercersburg PA.

Thanks for saying M - A - N.... it does not stand for "The man" but Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg.

[@larrycannady4601]

I'll agree with you on that, seems like everyone is in a big hurry in the fields these days.

[@jimlangley840]

Hatton Farms just used a roll over plow in the sugar cane field behind the house, after they disced it...

[@markrskinner]

Happy Christmas from the UK, Mike. Thanks for the great clips this year.

[@revvinevan014]

The challenger model looks good

[@keithpowell2786]

Thanks for another awesome video. That brings back a lot of memories living back in North Carolina where we always moldboard plow which we called breaking land for our tobacco crop, tobacco land was always moldboard plow out and that was my favorite job each year on the phone love doing it. Thanks for an awesome year and cannot wait to see you watch awesome videos 2022 breaks. Merry Christmas to you and your family and wishing you the happiest of New Year’s

[@clfhnt]

amazing video .....a truly beautiful property to boot...thanks Mike!!

[@gerryspang5917]

Enjoy your video, I’ve overhauled quite a few KTA 1150 Cummins engines up to 600 HP in various tractors, often wandered how many bottom plow they would be able to pull. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. Cheers my friend.

[@johnreimers2762]

Question, Why don’t they plough the field to the centre then do the headlands at the finish

[@marcelocunico6119]

Great vídeo Mike. Merry Christmas

[@aaronbakker5353]

I'd like to see how he finished off that feild. I can't say I've ever ploughed in a circle like that.

[@farmhandmike]

I couldn’t stick around but once they are done the field has a big X in it then they plow the X out. I’ve seen other people do this before and years ago I did video a guy in Oklahoma doing just this.

What is the difference to that and a fendt 1050 I wonder if agco classes those as challenger in USA but fendt in uk🤦‍♀️

I thought they started putting their own engine they designed & are building in the US in the 1050 Challenger. I'm thinking it was a V 12 or V16 engine. I might be thinking of one their slightly smaller tractors.

[@EFCasual]

They used to use that Finnish V12 but never in this tractor and I don't know if it's currently being sold.

[@Bare36]

Funny thing is that here in Eu,agricultural engineers says,to solve a weed problem,do not plow.. And in US,to solve weed problem-plow.. it seems,if you have a weed problem,what ever you do,you really have a problem..

why did tthis ground for plantinghey plow this field like this over the old way of plowing in lands looks like plowing like this would be rough as hell to finish

[@duanebryant709]

Does it look like he is fine too deep back in the day we went 7 to 8 inches deep

[@stirv6462]

There’s hardly a furrow. That tractor wouldn’t move that plow if it was in the ground.

[@brandonzins5617]

you dont see a lot of roll over plows because it adds a lot of extra weight so the tractors cant pull a lot of bottoms with the extra weight

Infelizmente a agco apenas muda a cor e a marca de suas máquinas mas não coloca novidades em determinadas marcas no caso desse trator aqui que se denomina challenger é o mesmo fendt 1050 vário então pra quem não gosta de desse não compraria um fendt.
