Love these tractors. They are a Quiet running tractor that runs at 1600 RPM making them Great on Fuel. Great to see one of these on video. Glad to see more AGCO Brands on here.

Agco makes some of the best farm eq. money can buy, with Gleaner combines at the top of their chart.

Great subsoiling action😁👍 the challenger is a nice tractor👍😉

[cambokunkhmer]

Your video is always great, I'm waiting for the next one.

Is that front weight being held on with the worlds strongest zip ties?

[sharpshooter]

I'll bet Brian Brown is grinning from ear to ear seeing a tractor like his down in Kentucky

[kevinfox]

That is a massive investment, I hope the farmer gets some Tax relief on purchasing such an expensive tractor and once you've purchased it the cost doesn't stop there, the implements which that will use to justify the HP run into thousands of dollars as well.
Great video
Kind regards

Theses straight shank rippers work the best, lifting and shattering the hard pan, unlike the disk chisels or chisel plows that just cut a groove in the hard pan bringing the clay to the top and mixing it with the topsoil, then the topsoil falls down into the clay groove.

[stevenpayne]

He’s turning on the ends before he has the ripper out of the ground and it appears to be putting a substantial side load on the shanks. Probably not good...

Hey what is your favorite caterpillar tractor. Mine is the caterpillar 65 first generation

[coltenbotma]

We run a 8295r with a 5 shank great plains ripper

[terryhobdy]

I don't row crop any more I used to pull a 7 shank V ripper with a black belly 7080 allis

[Bernie]

Lots of bush there.
Has he got a feral hog problem there ?

[halwilliams]

I pull a 5 shank ripper with a Challenger 645B. In central Nebraska we don't have rocks beneath the surface so the auto reset shank is an unnecessary expense.

[AaricHale]

After sub soiling would it make a difference going across it the other way ?

[Xander_Zimmermann]

Did you know that the MAN company produced engines for the Unterseebooten or U-Boats during WWII?

[Brightleaf_Auto]

We run a Challenger MT665B with a John Deere 5 shank ripper.

[farmdashforfs]

The Challenger 1038 is a variant of the Fendt 1038, not the other way around ;)

[Mark-uqkm]

If you imagine the front of the tractor as a face it looks like an angry bird. My guess is the Germans intended this. I appreciate their sense of humor.

[andyhutch]

Is it same tractor as Massey Ferguson? he could do with his top link shortening by 1/2 to 1 turn shorter, implement isnt level in the ground, can really be seen when out.
