My Nephew bought a slightly used Challenger 65 about 3-4 years ago, and it shares shed space with a dozen green tractors of various sizes and ages. But the Challenger is about twice the HP of any of the green tractors. I was told by a non-farmer co-worker 20+ yrs ago how great a Challenger rode when chisel plowing in the fall. I've run all three common styles of 4wd tractors, ridgid frame Case 2470 riding on four 28Lx26 tires, an 8440 Deere on eight 23.1x30 tires, and a White 4-150 on eight 18.4x38's. The Case was smoothest riding and had great Traction, but I think the Challenger would ride smoother and pull better than the Case. The White pulled O-K, the Deere was kinda gutless even turned up to 220 hp, you had to have the throttle wide open running over 2000 rpm or it fell on it's face, stalled out. The White was only pulling a 14 ft disk, it was flying stirring up drowned out corn for replanting beans. But I'm sure the Challenger is faster, smoother, and when they stick that 2-shank too big Glenco Soil-Saver in the ground it gets with the program! Strangely enough, nobody I worked for ever had a 4wd IH, not a 4100 or 4366, anything. I looked the 4300 at FARMALL-LAND over really well, was the ONLY thing I took pictures of, I'd seen it at Red Power Round-up's a couple times. It would have pulled well, but no cab, and noisy!
