SIMON. Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Those thieving massey scumbags i'll pinch any one's design these days :D Quote
FB Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 That's pretty old though isn't it? thats what i thought \ , wasnt it posted last year? \ \ Quote
Graeme Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I doubt they will produce it as Massey and Cat are all part of Agco. Quote
JC Posted November 9, 2007 Author Posted November 9, 2007 It is pretty old yes, previewed at Agritechnia in 1999. Here's another one; Quote
allis8550 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 This was built in the US about 1997/98,and originally appeared in White colours { silver/black} was repainted in red MF colours for the Agritechna show in 1999 Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Cor.... now would that be a model or what :o More importantly... a leaflet to collect.... More importantly... the real thing to have tucked away in your shed Quote
Deerepower Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 I doubt they will produce it as Massey and Cat are all part of Agco. thought Cat sold the challenger name/crawler to Agco and was not apart of Agco? Quote
allis8550 Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 thought Cat sold the challenger name/crawler to Agco and was not apart of Agco? Well spotted there Bluepower, Challenger is a AGCO company , not Caterpillar, since Cat sold the Challenger tradename and product line only, to AGCO. Cat still supply engines and some components for the challenger tractors. Quote
Deerepower Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 thanks for comfirming that allis8550, didn't think cat was a part of AGCO Quote
SPN Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 Looks dodgy to me! The red colour and silver decal is a bit of a giveaway on the ould "dodgy" front! Quote
Deere-est Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Although only a concept I think the Manufacturers are missing an oppurtunity here, especially AGCO. We at college did the old wheel versus track field tests with a MF230 and and old Bristol Taurus of about 30hp. ... ploughing wise the BT pulled 4f on brash and the 230 just the 2, 3 gave too much wheel slip. If a simple test like this can show the result surely crawlers of about 150hp would be of huge appeal to sub 1000ac farms instead of 200+hp wheeled giants? Quote
