I was in Canada in 1987 when the first Challenger appeared at a farm show there. I think perhaps the Quadtracs and JD9RX have all got a bit too heavy now. Nice to see that combination at work, very straight too. Also very cobbly so might take a lot of knocking into a seedbed. I agree with one or two others, it would have been good to hear the tractor at work without the music, at least for some of the video.
We’ve got a very similar setup👍 Cat Challengers of that age have little or no depreciation = lowest cost, you can work on them, solid state engineering and they still do the acres that newer stuff does. What’s not to like?🤷
Great to see a Dowdeswell DP2 being used as intended. No shortage of metal in those ploughs ! Nice work being produced too. Where was this filmed please ?
@NejMoss4873 What do expect from a tractor and a plough? 🙂 I make my videos about ten minutes long. You can watch three minutes, one minute or ten minutes, it's your choice!! I hope you enjoyed what you did see of the video. 👍😎
I remember when these were launched. Went to a demo in Nothants. A serious horse back then.
When was that Mark, 1994? 🙂
Absolutely brilliant video 👍🏻,it's nice to see some of the older machines still working!..
@hukalmiloslav9176 Glad you enjoyed the video!
Awesome thank you for this video, I operated a latter model D series , you can see all the good aspects of that combination right here !
The Ds are that little bit nicer. We also run an 85D.
bet that 1995 Cat Sounds awesome Under load pulling that plow 😍
Great Tillage video, that Dowdeswell was doing a good job of burying the trash left from Harvest.
Yes it was, old school kit can still cut it! 👍👌
Brilliant video.
Would be nice without the music.
The Cat engine sound is all the music you need😂
Like the new music never did like last lot great drone shots
Thanks for the feedback - I like it better too! 👍😎
Spot on little video that Malc, cheers. 👌🙏

Mid Suffolk
I would love to hear the sound of music, played by the challanger
Новые CAT такие сейчас производит?
Challenger был создан в 1986 году компанией Caterpillar Inc., бренд был продан AGCO в 2002 году. В настоящее время продается под названием Challenger.
@@MalcPearce спасибо
What speed is the rig moving at please?
7kmh
Tip: lose the ridiculous music, let us hear the sound of the Cat and it will become watchable.
Be a lot better without the stupid music
Short video would have been better. Once seen the first 10 seconds it just boring. Fast forward so much of the same, same.
