John Deere 8RX410 VS Challenger 1042

Putting a John Deere 8RX410 to the test against a Challenger 1042 to see what will pull the 48 row planter the best!

[@richardsmyth8088]

Why do you have so much air in the challenger tyres. 15 psi in the rear and 18 in the front is what I’d be trying. Each to their own I guess

[@darrenmorgan5849]

Definitely agree with the tyre pressures, they are way too high. Need to lower them to lengthen your footprint with your tread. It will make a huge difference. Yeah the 8RX is amazing, we just got ours 2 weeks ago. Can’t wait to see it working during our seeding. 👌👍

The 380 magnum is better just saying

Great video Zach

[@jonbruce536]

Great comparison, well done video. Thanks for sharing.

[@ROCK-Loveswomen]

We run our DB 120 with a 9RX 520 row track awesome video

Glad someone’s out here representing for the the eastern CO/ wester KS desert

[@John_S_V]

HP/Weight/Footprint = Traction/Pull. Those tiny rubber band tires can’t compete against a track 😂

You must be near Garden City!

[@donfrisch6437]

Great video Zack those new 8r deeres are incredibly comfortable tractors Keep up the great work

Watching while I myself am planting barley here in Idaho.

Nice looking JD tractor

[@va3kbc]

I have heard nothing but good things about this new style tractor from John Deere. I bet resale value will hold very well too

[@armchairgeneral7557]

Tracks are going to excel over wheels in the field. Wheels are going to excel over tracks on the road. One of those facts of life. I would love to see Deere come out with a or 8rx that is a step up in hp from the 410. Something like a 470 that boosts to near 500 hp. I think farmers will be begging for it in the age of high speed planting, tilling, etc. IMO, an 8rx should be able to maintain 10 mph pulling a 24 row high speed planter. That is my barometer anyways.

[@shealy265]

Could you share the stated drawbar horsepower of both tractors and differential in list price between the two. Thanks!

Fendts are notorious for being poor pullers for their horsepower, and the tracks are so much better for pulling than those rowcrop tyres.

[@minidiggin]

Tires make bounce. No bounce in the tracks. That would be my guess on your “smooth” ride in the Deere

[@farmboy5622]

LSW tires from Titan tires would be even better, on the road and in the field.

[@peterfehr6025]

At form I work we have both deere and fent tractor,s in my opinion the John Deere's is better for operation and visibility on the front for sure

[@prairiestatetractor]

8RX is 👑

[@jonathanhill2703]

35 psi? Seems like an awful lot. I'd want it to be fairly dry.

[@smerdi1000]

How much acres do you have? I am a farmer in austria (arnold schwarzenegger😅) and i have 75 acres field and 110 acres forest and i am a big farmer here. Thats only a weekend job for you i think 😅 😂. And how big is your biggest field?

[@theinfamoushvacrtech816]

Is the RX a demo?

[@jayfarmer3911]

Just to give more insight here, i have a 1050 and a 8RX 410. The Challenger is way over rated. My 410 will handily outpull the 1050.

[@cedricschramm]

Pulling what if you don’t mind me asking?

[@jayfarmer3911]

@@cedricschramm air seeders in the spring and either disc ripper or degelman pro till in the fall.

[@philhicks5818]

Might be running at lower rpm , but your be saving fuel with the rx because your losing time with the less traction on the challenger,

[@simmywilliams4424]

think about what your said..... Its all about Gallons per hour or G/A. If his speed is the same in the RX with 1% slip, vs the Challenger at 10%, then hes not losing time. Also, His tire pressures are way too high. If he adjust them to the right level then his wheel slippage should be a lot less.

[@enjojenjoj9278]

ah Fendts so good and ez to set :DDDD

[@michelmichel6292]

Why do you think that people want to spend 15 minutes watching your face whne they are interested in agriculture

[@timtwing5886]

You don't like it then don't watch
