AndyB Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 According to the chap from USK, the new Fendt Vario MTs shelf versions, should be launched soon (he said after Nuremburg), so that you may not need to spend silly money on them........

Bit of an update. The Fendts will be Mid-March (retail prices 1165MT Euro 95 and 943MT Euro 92). There are US Challenger versions on a boat, but wont be available in Europe. Lemken Azurit 9 should be available now (Euro 60 retail price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I can see some uk farmers importing these instead of having the green Fendt version on their farms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 would be cheaper to ask the dealer to respray wouldnt it ?? or get it done yourself, shipping and vat etc charges will be pretty high i suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Spoke to the local Agco dealer yesterday, they have one of the bigger MT1100s on demo from Fendt UK to one of their customers presently...……………….my contact and a mate in the sales dept both think the tractor looks over the top with its red drive wheels, they don't much like the green cab pillars either!! Neither do I for that matter...……………….they should have left it in Challenger colours and put a Fendt badge on it, or painted it green and left the wheels and cab pillars black like on the MT 700E series.

Funny you should say that,I'm fairly sure I read a while back,that it's near impossible to sell a tractor with red wheels in the States,anyone else see this,?? Regards Joe.

CX820Joe Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Maybe the silvery Ideal combine livery would have been better...would have saved a few quid too probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortly it might not be possible to sell anything automotive in the US if its made in Germany, Pres Trump is seriously considering a total ban due to the massively lopsided trade imbalance!! Personally I wouldn't blame him, mind you it will take a lot to make USA engineering the same level of quality as the Germans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought challengers where made in the States or are they now only made in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPS Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Yes, you are right, the tracked Challenger ( the ex CAT machine) is made in Jackson, Minnesota. Painted yellow as Challenger for US / Canada markets and green Fendt for EU markets. They both go down the same assembly line and are the same machine basically.

DoePower-Luke Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I think they look so much better in Challenger colour's than Fendt. Just my preference as what ive been used. I agree with Andy, another import job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persehall Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I like the challenger colour a lot better too in fact I’d go as far to say the fendt challengers are the worst looking tractors ever,even surpassing the ugly current John deeres.cant wait to add a USA challenger to my fleet.only missing the pink challenger but got every other ever made nick...

b_emmons Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I have 3 yellow challengers, and debating if to get a green claas one painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 To be fair I haven't seen a Fendt one in the flesh yet, but I guess I might see one at cereals next week if I go that is. New Fendt green is a really nice colour but the Challenger yellow is so familiar...………………….Its just like when Claas took over challenger machines in the 90s with the 55 tractor which I didn't like much too start with, but then they got really popular and I was sad to see them go back to yellow with the original 765A challenger ha ha!.
