robbo Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Great pictures and welcome to the forum, keep the pics coming :D Just a suggestion but what about using the new MF8690 as the base for the Challenger tractor, they are nearly the same under the skin as far as I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Nice machines Chris, the 45 looked good What year is she? Did you have her form new? How many hours? Also, I had the fortunate chance to drive a Challener 660 combine when I did the harvest run in 2003. .. What a machine!! Will a Challenger replace the STS at some point?

ford4ever Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Welcome Chris What kind of Deutz?? F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Taylor Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 It was a 97 and we bought here in 01. I'm not sure on the hours. I think a Claas/Cat Lexion May be a replacement in a few years. I'm not sure right off the top of my head on the model # on the deutz i will try to see sometime and get a picture. Thanks!
