bluegreen Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 That's what they will do Mark, I'm told the "F" series is launching at Agritechnica. Pictures online show what looks like a Challenger with a Fendt 1050 bonnet and revised roof. Personally my Challenger 775E is my favourite model and real machine currently, I will be disappointed to see them replaced by a green Fendt ! I was never a big Fendt fan (although I did try) and now even less so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Corkman has moved on a bit since the 1990s.http://www.independent.ie/business/farming/farmer-with-a-novel-way-of-working-the-land-29983777.html I'm not aware of any others. There were a few JDs on tracks in North County Dublin in the mid noughties. Michael Hoey had one. I think he might have had a Challenger too. What is Billy Coleman running as prime mover?

A retro Rothmans Porsche 911 rally car in Killarney a few weeks ago at a classic rally car run !! That's Billy's mover . Billy's family own a New Holland dealership in Millstreet . Same place were my uncle buys all his tractors over the last 5 decades !! Billy tested his rally cars during the 80's on the road passing our house when I was a young lad . The road was closed fir the testing obviously . both me & my dad often sat in for a fast spin . . Anyways better stay on topic . Billy probably has a NH T7 of some sort , no Big Cat SPN !!

robbo Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 It would appear that talk of Challenger leaving the European market entirely is not quite right, they are moving closer to Fendt and there may be some changes in the future but final decisions have not yet been made https://www.profi.com/news/Imminent-changes-expected-at-Challenger-8170132.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Possibly, but thats not fendts colours is it, the whole ideas to make it a all in one fendt brand , otherwise why swap it all round in the first place . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 there is that as well, but overall its brand simplification, if they swap hub colours to black it wont fit the brand . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
