I am not a farmer, no one in my family are farmers, I will never be a farmer, I am not in the market for equipment, I will never buy equipment . . . yet I cant stop watching your videos, I love them, keep them coming . . . That ending is priceless!
I am a farmer
@zanderherbst2192 I have a tractor . 🚜 and some land I'm a deer hunter that comes from a family of farmers, still own the land just don't farm it . Well not the scale Zach does. We have a 2 row jd planter that we plant corn and beans with. That's basically the sum total of our equipment.
The hat switching killed me
Jack Rego RIP
Jack Rego me too lol
At about 3:30 it gets quite annoying but shortly there after it's okay again
If he took both hats and showed them together he could spin it around instead of taking it on and off.
Same, I literally died
You're killing it with the hat thing. I almost couldn't take it. LOL.
I dint notice till I see comment
Just watched a 25 min review on two tractors I will never in a million years have a reason to buy
Never say never. If the zombie apocalypse comes you might need one.😉
So did I but then I think understanding what is going on with the farms is important . A good investment may be the farm equipment makers or commodities . I will be looking into both this week
Hey help the people and make a farm i am goning to you will be helping a lot of people
You can always get FS19 though
@@AviationNut But he wont need to *buy* one then :)
I love seeing 100% none biase comparison videos, most of the time the person in a comparison video you can always tell they are more in favor of one over the other but that is not the case here. Cheers to you mate!
Zach, excellent job! As a sales representative for a John Deere dealership you are that type of customer that we all would love to have as a customer and it is great to watch your channel! You are a good ambassador for the farming community and a great contribution to RUclips!
Referring to the track slippage on the Challenger, we recently had a JD 9400T that was purchased into our dealership for a customer that was looking for a machine to inject manure slurry. My understanding is the JD experienced the same slippage under muddy/heavier application conditions. On a friction drive design under certain conditions I could understand it happening. Keep up the great work, thank you for what you do!
In memory of the challenger 2018-2018😩 You will be missed.
Here I am 73 years old, retired, no practical interest in agriculture, but I watch Millennial Farmer avidly, trying hard to benefit from Zach's insights and opinions - as if I had another life coming up and I planned to steward a couple of thousand acres. You go, Zach, I love you and your family and your farm.
If anyone would like to read about traditional American farming reality - try the Port Arthur novels by Wendell Berry.
I like how you switch hats too funny, and you make the video 100% better. Thanks

Hi
It really does
If you're willing to add someone new to your watch list, you may enjoy my farming content as well!
Yup
The switching hats was hilarious. The old man is a Deere fan and he got a kick out of that
Sad to see the Challenger go, it looked like a great ride. The video's ending deserves a nominee for next year's Oscars :)
ruclips.net/video/R71b_FbagJg/видео.html
No fuck
Yep youtube needs its own awards show
I totally agree with you
@@BuildingAndAdventure nice
I love how he changes hats when talking about the different tractors 🚜 making me laugh 😂
Thanks for addressing the cause of the track slipping.
Anyone else hope right at the end after the montage, Zack was going to pop back on screen and go “Just Kidding, of course we bought the Challenger! This thing rocks!!” ?? ...no just me?
Brilliant ending...brought tears to my hatless face 😅
I don’t live on a farm but I’ve helped out on one. I helped spray fields with weed killer I believe it was and I’ve helped drag stones/rocks off the field, and I’ve helped with cultivating and harvest as in I kinda just rode along. I got to say I loved when we were running grain cart in the John Deere 8360. We cultivated in the Challenger they are both great machines
For those wondering. Yes, it is possible to become attached to a semi truck or tractor. When you spend an ample amount of time inside its cab, you become an extension of it.
That ending was class 👏😂
I think mean *that ending was claas*
Claas sucks it’s the wrong green
do you know a pamala pemberton? met the young lass in a hospital back in 1972,73
@@Reggae2703 dang it I was gonna say that
@@eastonb7957 did you mean to say "say".
My husband loves your videos (I'm pretty sure he's seen them all since he found your channel a few months ago), I love your sense of humor! Thanks for making MY life a little easier 😂
For a fair comparison, you'd have to compare the latest model of the John Deere against the Challenger as the new tracked JD's have full cab suspension and they've improved the track system.
I would agree. Unfortunately, Deere hasn't contacted me and AGCO has. This is the comparison we have right now, but yes, a 2018 Deere would be a more fair comparison.
My dad was a diesel mechanic for a long time before he passed away in 1994. He used to tell my brothers and I that machinery like tractors, trucks and cars had a soul. You built an emotional connection because of that. He would even say that a piece of machinery had feelings, too. I thought it was weird. But as an adult, I understood the more machines I owned.
UM BEST INTRO EVER!!! lol that was awsome
It is so nice to see someone who worked long and honest work now have a luxury to drive and test new equipment.
I laughed when he nitpicked the heating system since in my tractor IMT 560 (licensed version of MF65) there are two conditions only. You are cold while you try to heat up with a thick and layered clothing from head to tows, and then you can enjoy the heat coming from the engine after hours of ploughing and drop jacket and few layers of clothing.
I hope you buy that Challenger model in the future.
Great video as always! Your sense of humor coupled with your ability to perform leaves me with a big smile every time, thanks for the energy that you put into all of your work.
The hat swapping had me cracking up laughing. Love the "entertainment"!
To bad we don't have $7.00 corn, $15.00 beans, and $12.00 wheat, to keep up with the out of control inflation of equipment prices! I'm running out of options! Great video though!
I think a big reason the tractors and inputs got so expensive was because of $7 corn and $15 beans. It was great at the time but now everyone is taking that extra income away from us.
@@MillennialFarmer It horrible how low the prices went, I wish things were still worth that much
4 years ago? I wanna see Utd stuff. I wanna watch Onyx become a hard working humble farmer. You can see the happiness in his face. It brings me so much joy 😊😊😊
Proud to assist in the assembly of both of these BEASTS!
The challenger tribute at the end is another reasons why Im glad I subscribed to the channel......I really like the way you put your videos together, very informative but also entertaining Great Content unlike a lot of RUclips garbage out there. Keep it up👍
I almost cried when the challenger moments were playing😢😭, Goodbye Challanger!!!!
As a non farmer I found this very interesting, only someone with lots of seat time in both machines would notice some of these differences, thanks for taking time to make these videos, merry Christmas to you and your family
Becky comes through, she picked that crying piano music hoorayyy
It's always good to see a man in touch with his emotions. Saying Goodbye to plastic and steel can be devastating even to the strongest of men.
I’m a uk farmer and we have one of the Fendt tracked tractors...ou Fendt replaced a Deere 8360RT as the horse power in the Fendt was so much higher and we couldn’t afford to run both....I agree they are both good machines....seeing the Deere off was a very sad day.
I am in the UK and would love to see the fendt tracked machine in person. I am in Oxford hopefully you are not too far!
@@Harry-fh6gu im in lancashire so probally a bit far sorry
I have always thought that having a mix of different equipment brands can sometimes be a benefit, other times not, but that is just my experience. Glad you were willing and able to weigh all the benefits vs what you already had. That's how it should be done!
Hehehehe, I am a big Challenger/Fendt fan, but I pretty much always knew you'd stick with the Deere machines... from the proximity of the Deere dealer vs. the Challenger dealer to the fact that you guys are a "Deere Operation", that is an up hill battle for any new manufacturer to try and fight.
Thanks for having such an open mind and doing such an amazing review of a different brand!!
Don't forget that some farmers feel shafted by Deere. So, it's not an absolute that farmers will always stay. It just boils down to the fact that Deere is superior in the product that they offer. They seem to really understand their customer.
Nice to see you have your beautiful family by your side, when you needed them the most ;) cheers from Denmark
nice breakdown comparison review. I liked the drama at the end, that's what makes your channel special and then there's the knowing of how you're not afraid to go back to prison. always enjoyed the humor here at your channel Zach. oh, did you keep the hat?
Lol, prison.
Ziegler took the hat too
I own both hats, plus extras!!!
@@MillennialFarmer ↑ Must be a farmer, he's awake at 4 am.
@@JohnSmith-fx4se I'm working on falling asleep!!
I helped my uncle farm when I was a senior in HS and he made me drive the 630 Case (If memory serves right on the number). That darned tractor whined the entire day. It was horrible. Live Strong my friend.
OMG Zach!!!!!
What an absolute OSCAR WINNING performance kiddo!!!!
PMSL at the cap changing head to head pro and con finale and the slow mo at the end..... priceless.!!!! As we say in Ireland ,,,"GOD IS GOOD" meaning you never know what fortune awaits..... hell maybe a VERSATILE on demo for the 2019 season eh???????
Fab vid sir!!!!!
Fendt...
I've never owned a tractor, nor will I ever need to own one - sadly, I'm not a farmer. BUT, I am a Purdue grad and the gold & black combo on the Challenger just says "I'm the ONE!" Great video, Zack. As always, a video peppered with humor and loaded with good info.....that's reason we all love you, you know. 😜😎❤️️
Cool to get attached to the agricultural advanced machines n visions! I had the very first Cat Challenger 65 ba c k in January 1987 put 497 hrs in it myself had over 164 people take a ride! Drove it down Interstate 5 to Santa Nella to get fuel. It was so much fun. Love your channels your dedication and the ability to pass on what you do and that's showing what it takes to honor the fact God made us Farmers!!!
Geti up Go!!!
Hay Dude
I’m going to miss that challenger she was a beauty 😭 Some people I know have two challengers and I love those tractors
when I was saying you have the wrong hat on Zach come on then you realized it. love your videos and your sense of humor. A lot of farming videos are always so serious but you make learning about farming fun.
Man, that ending was incredible :o You have almost made me cry :(
Very good review in my opinion.
I was expecting to see Zac & the dog chasing the truck up the driveway after the tractor at the end of the video . hahahaha
I honestly have no idea why your videos keep popping up in my suggestions, and i'm not that interested in farming. However, I'm staying for the "Are you OK?", "What the heck is that?!", and GMO jokes. The Wayne's World and other movie references are just icing on the cake I was going to eat anyway.
BEST VIDEO YET !! Beginning kicked ass and I dam near shed a tear at the ending ! Lol
Awesome awesome video, thank you so much for such an honest and detailed opinion I'm really gonna miss the Challenger, shes a beauty.
You can actually modify the sensitivity of each throttle sensitivity in the settings somewhere. So you can have sensitivity 4 accelerate harder/softer and the same with deceleration. The issue is it's just complicated to find it all.... Thanks fendt/challenger 😂
Jake Northern its not fendt / challenger if it goes about a challenger is it a challenger or just agco the owner of challenger fendt and massey
@@farmingboysYT shut the fuck I don't remember asking for anyone's input, it's a fucking Challenger.
@@farmingboysYT it's a the fendt and challengers are identical - the only difference is the colour and badge, we run both fendt and challengers, so yes they are fendt/challenger...
Derek Wiedenheft it is dont be angy but is not a Fendt
Why is it so emotional to me when he shows the tractor being hauled off I don’t even watch a lot of videos with the challenger in it but damn I almost shed a tear.
Hahahah. The cap thing tickled me pink🤣🤣
The Challenger could not have asked for better advertisement. Thorough, fair, and fun.
Personal preference, bottom line dealer support for your equipment. However comparing 3 yr old D vs new C , still pretty even outcome. Nice comparison.
You made this goodbye scene a very moving moment... Difficult for us viewers to keep eyes dry at the end... One of your best expression of feelings !!
Goodbye Challenger! you will be missed 😥😥😥😥 Mn millennial farmer when I first saw the Challenger I had the same reaction like heeheehee (if spelled correctly) over the fall I have grown to love it to and I hate to see it go I can't imagine how it felt to see it go back to the dealer its like when I lost my fourwheeler about 3 years ago I loved that thing to pieces but I still miss it its like losing a loved one if you think about it. hope you buy it soon! P.S. Have a safe winter!
I worked on a farm as a teen back in the late 50s. Two cylinder Deere. I'm watching every day. Love it. The industry has really changed!
You should have signed the tractor somewhere so it would raise the value of it.
I was dying of laughter when he was changing hats each time he talked about each tractor
I almost cried during the ending it was amazing
The Challenger may have come and gone, but the memories and videos made with will live on..... Hopes it goes on to have a good life
You would be great in victory lane🏁 your hat dance is fierce
One of the greatest advantages of the rubber tracked Ag equipment development is its usage drives the rubber tire manufacturers, dealers and end users to be wiser about the use of rubber tires. Competition is good.
Oh the tears !. You may have a side job future in TV>. "As the Soil Turns" :) Great Job !!
North central Iowa farmer here, Love the videos! We have 2 of the CAT Challenger 865C tractors with the wide tracks and love em. Use them for all our spring cultivating, fall ripping, anhydrous, and pull our tile plow with it. The pre-def tractors are a simpler and better Challenger machine I think. We have a 2011 and 2013 model yr.
At challenger the hardest thing to do is saying goodbye Zach😢🚜
We have fendts and when set in the most aggressive setting we usually tap the joystick instead of pulling on the joystick. Works really well. In time I'd think you'd love the challenger.
Looked like a NASCAR driver switching between hats like that. Lol
With all tractors Deere, Farmall , Case, and Massey Ferguson and many other each hold their own unique appeal. and they do one thing in common is that they do field and farm work in a manner that makes them all unique and awesome.. and Zach.. I love your dramatics.. keep up the videos I love them and teaching me something about farmer that I failed to do when I was growing up I will admit I hated living on the farm when I was in grade school as the years I grew to love living in the country, now in my 50s I kinda wish I were younger and able to take over dad's farm back then I am growing to appreciate farm life more and I owe it to your videos.
Switching hats had me cracking up but the ending had me crying laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣. That deserves an academy!
Had me laughing so hard at the outro I woke the house up at 430AM. I Had tears too but thats because I could not stop laughing!!!
Hahahahahaha we have both CAT Challengers and JD track machines as well as wheeled JD machines. They both do fantastic jobs for what we use them for. Thanks for sharing another fabulously fantastic show 🍺🍩🥓☕️🥓🍩🍺cheers
You've been listening to Virtual Farmer too much, heh heh.
Pretty sure CAT is the US variant of claas bud. AGCO makes challenger, fendt and Massey Ferguson tractors
Rieley Slocum no. Cat is Cat... Claas is Claas. Two different companies whether talking here or there. They address two completely different markets.
Cat doesn't even make tractors anymore. They would have to be old but it is possible to own a cat tractor. Claas is Claas and their is no U.S variant Claas makes farm equipment in the U.S.
Aint Cat Challenger????
Hi I'm commenting from Zimbabwe in Africa, interesting that you opted for Deere, over the Challenger, in our neck of the woods the Black and yellow always stands out over the green but I think that's because of the back up and tech support we get from the guys in yellow.
Either way it is great hearing an opinion from the other side of the world.
I would of laughed so hard at the end if *the slow mo and the sad music stopped playing* and you said "Just kidding, we bought it"
yeah, lol
I thought that he was going to say that ,
I came across these videos by accident and now I'm hooked. Zach explains farming in such a way that it's not only very interesting but he's entertaining as heck too. I'll never think of a guy on a tractor the same way. Farming just got a whole lot more interesting for me. And he's got a great little family too. God bless Zach thanx for doing the videos.
That ending is hilarious, great job!
The rear view is very important on a tractor, especially in that size.
But the most important thing of all, is that it has a cabin with good heat in it.
You cried I laughed I know I’m a monster 😂👍 good vid bud
man when i saw that end of the video i started think aboute on february 8 2018 almost a year ago when me and my dad where going to sell our old case ih 135 mx from 2003 that we had aboute 11 years. When we got to the dealer we sold the tractor and got our new one, but i still remebring my father getting sad and i saw a tear falling from his eyes as we leavd with the new one witch is a valtra n154 from 2016. the valtra is great and i love it but i miss the case ih alot. im more a case ih guy becuse i like there tractors alot. ive had lived with the 135 scens i was 3 and i have remmeberd it all my life and have many memorise when i was going over acres with it. so i do really feel you there. its really hard to say good bye to somethinge you love.
The big problem of the Challenger is the Adblue,.Having adblue in a Tractor throttles the Engine so much that when it goes uphill or needs to pull very hard ,it loses much power. Thats one of the big issues tractors these days got(atleast in germany). With the 8360 you got a real good tractor. I dont like John deere much but i have to admit it.
Hi Zach, from the UK here, not a farmer at all, but love your videos, you have a dry sense of humour which is something people from the UK appreciate. Also I lived in MN for 20 years so I'm a Vikes and Twins fan, keep up the good work :-)
I think you nailed it on this vid!! Excellent.
Brings a tear to my eye, a boy and his tractor.
If you name your next child, Agco.... We'll know what really went on in that cab!!!! Great video Zach. I like how impartial you are/were. Really appreciate the honest review.
LeTs aLL bE impartiaL Some TimEzZzZ, , !
👏😂
Nice job Zach....your personality is what makes these videos so good.
I’d consider myself lucky to just drive one of those bad boys for a day 🤤
Especially loved from 22 minutes on. Great reflective moments. Had me laughing.
DEERE Hat! Hands down.
Challenger needs to work on their hat styling.
This is a tractor of fendt (AGCO)
@@robinp2539 Yeah. I can tell because of the rear tail lights
Saying "Goodbye" is never easy. I'm sorry for your loss Zack. You have many memories with the yellow girl. But if the Challenger is meant for you and your farm, it'll come back. If you love the Challenger, you had to let ''er go. If it comes back, then you'll know it was meant to be. My sympathies to you and your family. LOL! What a screamin' video. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.
Thank God, I thought that yellow thing would never leave. ‘I take a bite of my ham and cheese sandwich’
The AGCO (SISU) engine is well known for its quiet operation in both the Diesel engine compression ignition knock and the mechanical noise dampening areas.
A lot of the differences with visibility is due to the DEF systems. We have a John Deere 9370r tractor and they had to move the fuel tanks up. I hate it. There is also more exhaust components. A lot more difficult to hook up compared to our 9230, and I cannot see the tires in relationship to road. The other stupid thing Deere did in those tractors was a solid deck at the door. I track in so much mud and dirt! I can see how the mudscraper deck of the Challenger would be nice. Thanks for the video.
I'm not even a farmer and still love those videos.
The Deere has a better “bathroom” in the rear!
I don't know why but the constant hat changes got me laughing so much.
Switching the hats killed me
It's been great seeing that challenger in your videos, I'm sad to see it go. It is beautiful and had a great home.
More moving than titanic's final scene 😭
Great vid Zach, don’t hibernate on us this winter. Hope you and family have a merry Christmas.
How many hours does that challenger have? I can tell you from experience the engines in the challenger and all AGCO for that matter are very tight. They can feel underpowered under 500 hour but after 500 hour the engine loosens up and breaks in entirely it will feel much more powerful low down.
Really?? It had about 175 hours on it
@@MillennialFarmerI believe that tractor has the 9.4 agco engine in it which is built by sisu engines. All of the AGCO engines I've delt with in various machine of the years are extremely tight when they are new and need about 500 hours before they really start to loosen up and make more power.
Easy fix on the Challenger visibility problems. Mount a mirror on the fuel tank so you can see the hitch pin. On both sides add a mirror to see areas that are covered in front of the cab.
