CHALLENGER MT655C Tractor on Spring Tillage

[@arfarms5711]

Spray some PB Blaster on them hinges on that seat!!!😂😂. That tillage tool was doing an amazing job for all the grass and weeds standing

[@mikescaffo4850]

That's a great tractor but green and yellow is my favorite love seeing these tractors I can't get enough

[@dirtthunder1638]

Great tractor! Good to see a smaller farmer in the field. Not every farmer can afford 5, 500hp JD to work ground. LOL

[@andrewinbody4301]

I am so glad to see Spring.

[@bigtractorpower]

Me too. Several new videos on the way.

[@MienTayTiVi]

beauty tractor

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@SimonKL11]

Nice to see a wheeled challenger in action👍

[@bigtractorpower]

The MT600s are nice. I hope to catch another planting corn in a few weeks.

[@SimonKL11]

bigtractorpower very cool keep it up👍

[@mikespecht]

If you like challenger check out Brian's farming videos on youtube.

[@sbvol7385]

BTP, a question...why only 2"? The farmer mentioned needing two passes. Would going deeper reduce the number of passes or does that not matter for this scenario? So happy that you are back in the fields vs. farm show vids!! Love hearing the machines work.

[@thebeast8285]

Its vt, you really dont run deep in vertical tillage (or we dont) it really is ment to chop residue while only turning little dirt to mix it all together. And while it's at it, it helps smooth the field out

[@یونسطاهری-ل9ش]

عجب تراکتور هاین بنازم به سازندشون و کشور سازندش👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@hordboy]

All that squeaking would drive me insane.

[@johnirwin1837]

Should have drove open station tractors like I did in the '50 and '60. Still got some hearing even after a 20 year career in aircraft maintenance.

[@joeslont7510]

I'm impressed with that sunflower

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍 Sunflower builds solid tillage equipment.

[@stanleybaker1520]

I would crank the radio as loud as I could 🤪🤪

[@oz2267]

Great video as always, Shalom from a BTP fan from Israel

[@jankotze1959]

Nice to see the Sunflower 6630 doing a great job, nice video

[@bigtractorpower]

They do a nice job. Thank you for watching.

[@markreetz1001]

Good video, once again. We see a lot of equipment pulled by a variety of various sized tractors. Is the MT655C a good match for the 6630 Saber? I mean what does the manufacturer say is the needed horsepower for the 29 ft 6630?

[@gwgillman1]

very Impressive,cuts great for a single pass,

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍

[@waynerichardson930]

Call me old fashioned but it still looks like what we used to call a disk harrow.

[@db-cd8hx]

its along was from a tandem disk. those blades do not last very long and they will not take hard ground very well and not at all with worn blades

[@brianzybura8633]

If it was me I would moldboard plough it all first. Especially the corn ground. Its got a carpet of weeds and with a moldboard plow you bury it. Then go over it with a Wishek style disk with cultivator and packer behind it. Here in southern Ontario we use to call that the hitchhiker. You then have a well prepared seedbed. I believe that with this method you build up humus and you reduce weedseeds significantly. That should reduce the amount of chemical weed herbicide needed. Anyway its his farm--his call.

[@diogobremm8331]

Hello, I'm a farmer from Brasile, I don't understand the reason for carrying out this light harrowing operation. being that it would be much less cost to carry out the direct planting on the straw.

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Looks like a great chop/prep job

[@bigtractorpower]

The 6630 does work up residue nicely.

[@zimmermanservice7474]

Just the same as my MF 8660. Except mine doesn't squeak 😏 And mine is tuned to 325 pto hp and 40 mph, and no emissions 😁 They make an awesome large square baler tractor.

[@c_games5665]

Zimmerman Service you don’t need to brag about it

[@zimmermanservice7474]

@@c_games5665 Sorry. Didn't think I was. I just mentioned it because it makes a different tractor out of it. We are fortunate to have a service tech in our area that is able to do it for us...

[@c_games5665]

Zimmerman Service ok thanks but yes the cabs on challengers tend to be cheap

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

cool tractor

[@captaindee6130]

Nice tractor. This footage is surely from last year with all those green trees -- things are just starting to bud out around here (SW Va). I wonder how long AGCO is going to keep all these duplicate brands alive? It seems like it would be so much easier to push one brand (like Fendt) through their Massey network in particular. Or else make one tractor line and paint/name some Massey/Challenger instead of having unique styling for everything? Surely their current approach isn't that efficient? Same with CNH -- just make one line and paint some red, some blue. Oh, but everyone wants a unique trattor. Well, when cabs and controls and powertrains are all but identical, no one's being fooled...

[@zacharystecher3266]

Captain Dee agreed

[@billeoff5338]

also good day for farming in mid Arkansas got some bush hogging done today big rain coming

[@bigtractorpower]

It sure was a nice weekend. I got three more spring tillage tractors filmed.

[@justinbradley193]

We just bought a challenger mt665e

[@brentfarrow8125]

Nice job really cutting up the stubble!😎

[@kswaynes7569]

Impressive seedbed, quiet tractor outside but that squeaking seat!

[@bigtractorpower]

It was a bit squeaky. That was the auto steer steering wheel.

[@kswaynes7569]

bigtractorpower Wow, that’s going to be more complicated to oil than a seat.

[@johndeerefarmer5993]

Dang challenger squeaks i couldnt handle that 14-16 hrs a day

[@sharpshooter7127]

The sunflower is doing a good job considering how much trash is out there. 🚜👍

[@bigtractorpower]

The weeds were pretty thick. It mulchs the trash and smooths the soil.

[@scottb2712]

Am I the only one that noticed how much the disc was bouncing especially the wings.. Seemed like the little depth control wheels could be bigger or something

[@mikebonge7206]

Great job with that tractor and tillage tool. Really good job with tillage with all those weeds amazing

[@APGoldMedia]

Good

[@deandanielson8074]

Good afternoon. Nice to see the Challenger in a wheel format. One question: What is the crop that is now being tilled? It doesn't look combined but it must have been. Thanks for our wonderful videos and your great voice-overs. Dean from Minnesota

[@nellsonstout7001]

Dean Danielson looks like wheat. It could’ve been harvested with a stripper head

[@deandanielson8074]

Hi Nellson, thanks!!

[@SebastianWarth]

nice video!!

[@reidhaberer7541]

Must be spring of 19, I'm south of Nashville now, not green here yet and I'm south of him in the video.

[@kennethgreen2829]

Jez that cab noise is crazy, I would really have to sort that out as a priority...

[@adamrogers3946]

Kenneth Green The squeaking is from the buddy seat. If no one is sitting in it you don’t have all that cab noise. Since there often times isn’t anyone in it we haven’t tried to look in to it.

[@michaelhamburg9804]

You guys have green trees in Kentucky already?

[@allenhuebner6251]

Michael you took the words right out of my mouth

[@AJmx2702001]

Glad i don't have one of those tractors it just seems like the Massey/Challenger are late to the party in the cab dept and i think that's why the fendt line is being pushed since its going to replace the challenger line at some point

[@zimmermanservice7474]

The wheeled challengers are already discontinued. Their latest cab in the Massey is quite a bit better. Agco seems to struggle to figure out which brand is what. I just hope Massey isn't next on the chopping block. 😢

[@Zero01k]

Don't be shocked to see Gleaner get axed next, seeing how they have reached the limits of its design and can go no further with it.

[@seanemery1937]

Ok, when did that quit being called a disk and start being a vertical tillage tool?

[@bigtractorpower]

When fluted coulters are added and only the top 1 to 2 inches are worked. A disk works 3-5 inches deep with a cupped blade. Both disks and verticals tillage tools are sold today.

[@wry569]

Good to see it is dry enough for some field work.

[@vanilakung7563]

Deboss Garage did a review on one of these tractors, cant say these are that impressive

[@carterspeegle8359]

How many acres can the challenger do with a full tank

[@bigtractorpower]

I do not know. It can easily do a 14 hour days work with out a refill.

[@theveggieboys]

We could use one of them on the farm 😂

[@یونسطاهری-ل9ش]

Hello

[@jackpayne3147]

I think my dad used to run one

[@stanleybaker1520]

Wow really squeaky needs some white grease 🤪🤪🤪

[@4gauge10]

The cab was very noisy compared to other brands B.T.P..

[@zimmermanservice7474]

Not sure what the squeak is. My Massey cab doesn't do that...

[@LaHaSi4208]

Yellow Massey Ferguson... 🤔🤔🤔

[@jackgerberuae]

Looks like this field needed a much heavier disk, working a min of 6inches.

[@johndeerefarmer5993]

Jacques Gerber the tool he has is doing a really good job though no need to waste fuel and time efficiency is key in todays farming its all about doing it as cheap as possible while doing a good job

[@jackgerberuae]

Johndeere Farmer thanks, so noted. The land surface appears to be very “choppy” or bumpy though.

[@hillbillyhicks8102]

Fix the squeak! It's louder then the motor. Cheap plastic should of went green

[@paulofrancisco565]

👏👏👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🚜🚜

[@bro-dirt680]

Missed a spot.

[@interman7715]

Seems really noisy in the cab.

[@TheMCD1989]

Isn't that a trademark of that age AGCO especially the challengers? I knew a few people up here in the northeastern us that had smaller utility and mid size ag challengers and the cabs and operators stations seemed really cheap.

[@interman7715]

Mark I thought it may have been the sensitivity of his microphone that made it seem loud .

[@c_games5665]

Mark yes they are

[@geoffreybarton336]

What a squeaky mess! I would lose my mind!

[@Buzzbox3rd]

Why wouldnt you burn that rubbish off the field?

[@3.6roentgen61]

Because burning is bad for the soil.

[@bigtractorpower]

This field was right on the edge of a town. The residents probably would like all the smoke. No one burns here. To much air quality issues caused and allot to control around houses.

@@danawolford5325 I will admit agco could do better on the cab department. But your comment on fuel consumption is just wrong. The agco 8.4 liter engine is one of the most fuel efficient engines on the market. I've proven that in thousands of hours running them.
