Always great to see AGCO equipment! Last year I ran my uncles new Challenger MT575D with his 20 foot undercutter aka, field cultivator, digger, ripped what ever you like to call it
Big tractor power, you’re always welcome in South Carolina bud. Got a nice spare bedroom and all home cooked meals if you ever want to come south for a visit. Nothing but farming and logging country here. Could take you to see all kinds of equipment running. From tobacco, all row crops to swamp logging jobs
Morning Boker Tov, I enjoyed your newest episode on BTP. All the implaments you showcase work so very well, no matter the type being used. Be well & hang tuff, Bye 🚜👍
The guy I was telling you about that planted the corn running 15 mph his corn is coming up like a picket fence looks like it didn’t miss a beat! It really is impressive
That's some really incredible technology on that planter I'm sure the price tag is incredible also but at the end of day that piece of equipment does more for a good crop than anything else! Now if you could just get it to adjust the rainfall to ideal it would be magical ! Thanks for very informative video!!
I thought you were at "Brian's farm videos" farm here in Ohio.. They own a similar Challenger and had an opportunity to run a similar if not identical white planter on a fendt 1050 I believe. Thanks btp, maybe talk to brain about a btp visit!
oh my goodness I can't even imagine how that's possible, here we are begging and praying for even a drop of rain for 3 years now and each year gets drier and drier and we are 3 years into the worst drought I've ever seen, much much worse than the devastating drought of the 80's that everyone said then was worse then the dirt 30's, this is the driest spring I've seen EVER
that 20/20 is super smooth compared to everything else ive seen, i wonder if it can work as a isobus virtual terminal? then i would dump my mueller... :)
Great video, with the 16row planter the technology is breathtakingly brilliant ,I'm old fashioned I wonder about the cost ratio to the amount of acreage going through that machine with maintenance costs because there seems an awful lot that can go wrong, once the warranty is up get rid of it. GOD BLESS. Kevin Fox Taxi driver London England
Thank you for watching. The cost maintenance is a good question. I do not know. This planter was brand new in the field that day just in from the factory. I will try to ask next year during planting season what normally maintenance and updates are required on a planter.
I would say it can seed wheat. I have seen corn planters used to sow 15 inch wheat. The wheat yielded well. I have a friend in Saskatchewan that seeds canola with a John Deere 1790 planter. He really likes the results.
I do not know how the field was prepared. This is a test plot field and I hope to return in July and September to the field days to track the progress of the crop and harvest.
Don't get it why you Americans say it's a IVT transmission the 1000 series challengers runs with a Fendt Vario Transmission. Everyone else try to copy that technology and call it what ever they like for nearly the same thing, even though it's still not the same thing after all.
IVT is a John Deere term. AGCO owns both Fendt and Challenger. The Vario CVT is called an Accu-Drive transmission in the Challenger 1000 series. It is just a marketing term for Challenger put in place by AGCO.
As far as I know that Fendt/Challenger burn way less fuel then most other tractors in the world with the same HP range that is, it was even mentioned in the starting of the video
These modern planters take allot of hydraulic power to run, they allot of weight and they are running double the speed of a traditional planter. All of that takes a good sized tractor to accomplish.
Corn is up and wheat is almost ready to cut in south western Kentucky. In north western Kentucky they are just staring to plant. Only 100 miles between SWKY and NWKY.
Challenger 1038 is 350hp (PTO) & 396hp (Engine) John Deere 8400r is 368hp & 400hp (respectively) The only way to get a good determination of fuel efficiency is to have both tractors pulling the exact same planter on the same field under the conditions (or close to it).
@@4gauge10 When you going to produce those reviews on the John Deere tractors getting dropped from 50' upside down on there cabs? Or is that something else that you supposedly never said?
It depends on what you need to accomplish. The Challenger 1000 series in my opinion is the best tractor in the market today. The 9800VE planter is high tech and faster than a DB60. For corn planting this 9800VE is as good as anything out there. For the farm that wants to plant 60ft wide and run 30 inch corn and 15 inch soybeans the DB60 is a solid machine. I don’t know if any other big planter set up to do both like the DB60.
@@bigtractorpower yeah, I suspect it's just the german precision. I know Americans like to round to even numbers even though, say, an 8400R may not actually make more more power.
Thank you BTP and the Farmers and equipment tech guys to be so open and let you into their world to film them for us.
Much appreciated!
I appreciate all the farm’s that let me tag along to show the work they do.
Nick from the AGCO dealer did and excellent job. He knows this system inside and out. That's what you'd want in a dealer. I'd buy from them!
👍
Fantastic video sir! Amazing planter!!!
Thank you for watching.
Thanks for posting and sharing. I like the Challengers. Amazing how fast farmers can move in the field with these new technology planters.
It is. They can cover some ground in a hurry.
Great to see the planter up close and personal.
It’s an impressive machine.
Always great to see AGCO equipment! Last year I ran my uncles new Challenger MT575D with his 20 foot undercutter aka, field cultivator, digger, ripped what ever you like to call it
Nice set up.
Wow that thing collects a lot of data that is pretty impressive and I bet the price tag for that planter is pretty impressive as well awesome video
Thank you for watching. Yes the planter is a big investment. It is priced just over $300,000.
Just a little different than the White 5100 we started with... Amazing tech on these things.
Planters have advanced bunch. The 5100 and 5100S are solid machines.
Whoa! Awesome! Thanks for the video!

Thank you for your kind offer. If I get to travel out to NC I will let you know.
Love your videos. You do an awesome job explaining what is going on in the field.
Thank you for watching. It is fun to make the videos to share.

That is impressive.
BTP your videos get better everytime you provide one for us to watch. Thank you for such great videos.
Thank you for watching. It’s fun tracking down these machines.
That's the End Game of planter set up's!!!! Great Video Jason!
Thank you for watching.
The operator has lots of personality!
Was anyone else not paying attention and though this was Brian's farming videos
On my lock screen I thought it was as well my friend 😂😂
Same I just watch the video the day it came out and I'm like yep same seeder
Wow! Cornplanting 2.0!
👍

Thank you for watching. It is a big investment. It prices for just over $300,000 on the planter but it can accomplish allot.
I wish we had a agco dealer nearby. John Deere is good but we need some variety.
Wow, 10 miles an hour ! Very impressive!
It can cover some acres.
been wet here in western ky, gotta getter done .awesome video
Thank you for watching.
Well done sod buster thanks
Thank you for watching.
Nice video and info BTP
👍👍👍
Amazing equipment 👍👍
Thank you for watching.

Haha! My first thoughts also! :)
It was a fendt 700 series 😉
Brian has a nice tractor line up.
Top j'adore👌👌👌👌👍👍👍
Thank you for watching.
Always Exelente
Thank you for watching.
Good vídeo!!! Btp👍🚜
Thank you for watching.
Thought this was Brian’s farming videos for a second
great video
Thank you for watching.
love your vids man. lot of Intel. what is 2x2s

For us its wet wet wet 2 1/2 week behind not a grain of planted
Nice video
Thank you for watching.
Wow, the technology is unreal these days!
It is. Lots of high tech.
that 20/20 is super smooth compared to everything else ive seen, i wonder if it can work as a isobus virtual terminal? then i would dump my mueller... :)
I would think that AGCO products are set to plug and play with all Tech. I would recommend talking to a dealer.
What is next on planters?read the fertilizer in the ground
Already can read soil type, cec/organic matter. Next generation technology. Wish there were more agco dealers
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
👍
U should travel to Maryland and see us do sod harvesting with a trebro tsr
Sod farming would be neat to see.

Thank you for watching. The cost maintenance is a good question. I do not know. This planter was brand new in the field that day just in from the factory. I will try to ask next year during planting season what normally maintenance and updates are required on a planter.
Does the planter pull hard enough that the tractor is run in 4 wheel drive?
I do not know.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching.
Is it properly covering the seed at that speed??
Yes. No issues.
Can this White planter sow wheat, I wouldn’t mind have technology on our 40ft Flexi coil seeder in would be interesting see soil moisture.👍
I would say it can seed wheat. I have seen corn planters used to sow 15 inch wheat. The wheat yielded well. I have a friend in Saskatchewan that seeds canola with a John Deere 1790 planter. He really likes the results.
Ok but next thing is being able to now what fertilizer is in the ground
I do not know how the field was prepared. This is a test plot field and I hope to return in July and September to the field days to track the progress of the crop and harvest.
How was the singulation traveling 10 mph.
I think he said it was 99.8% in the video. I plan to film this field after it starts growing and at harvest to show the final results.
John Deere , AGCO , Case IH , New Holland and other tractor companies make the tractors for the jobs that will get the job done.
Yes they do.
that planter is the bees wings
It’s a nice machine.
That is crazy that they have to put Suitcase Weights on the outside to hold it down. would think they weigh enough to not have to do that.
Shane Shelstad only are installed if markers are not ordered. Markers add a lot of weight. No markers, add weights.
The weights are for balance.
10mph really? Wow that's fast
It can cover some ground.
Ok but makes I guy think about when the planter will be able to read very levels in the ground
No telling what the next level of tech will accomplish.
Don't get it why you Americans say it's a IVT transmission the 1000 series challengers runs with a Fendt Vario Transmission. Everyone else try to copy that technology and call it what ever they like for nearly the same thing, even though it's still not the same thing after all.
Name the differences and I'll take your comment seriously.
@@ryanp6999 please do a bit of reading on the history of the Vario, then you will understand my comment. If not, then never mind.
IVT is a John Deere term. AGCO owns both Fendt and Challenger. The Vario CVT is called an Accu-Drive transmission in the Challenger 1000 series. It is just a marketing term for Challenger put in place by AGCO.
400 hp and a 16 row planter? Excess weight and fuel. To each his own.
As far as I know that Fendt/Challenger burn way less fuel then most other tractors in the world with the same HP range that is, it was even mentioned in the starting of the video
Still burns less fuel then a Case IH, NH or JD! LOL
i run the same planter just a 12 row with 200 hp tractor in sw wisc on 0 to 8% hills at 5 mph no problem.
These modern planters take allot of hydraulic power to run, they allot of weight and they are running double the speed of a traditional planter. All of that takes a good sized tractor to accomplish.
Awesome video TY BTP.... how's your field work going ?
Corn is up and wheat is almost ready to cut in south western Kentucky. In north western Kentucky they are just staring to plant. Only 100 miles between SWKY and NWKY.
Tractor looks a lot like a Fendt
MrMagnum7220 I think Fendt makes that for Challenger. The fendt model is the Vario.
Clinton Stubbs I always thought it was the opposite way that Challenger make Fendt
It's a Fendt painted yellow
MrMagnum7220 AGCO owns both Fendt and Challenger. Very much like General Motors Chevy Silverado and GMC Seriea pick up trucks.
Please, buy this tractor in Fendt green with red rims - look's 10 times better!
No, not really !
Black edition looks amazing. Farmhand mike made a video...
As if all farmers bought their equipment based off looks...
Ryan Parish you’re absolutely right. But when you can get the same tractor in different colors. Why not choose you’re favorite.
Christian Weiss I prefer the the look of the Challenger over the Fendt
It's fast,but no more fuel efficient then a Deere 8400 series at 12-13 gallons of diesel per-hour.
Challenger 1038 is 350hp (PTO) & 396hp (Engine)
John Deere 8400r is 368hp & 400hp (respectively)
The only way to get a good determination of fuel efficiency is to have both tractors pulling the exact same planter on the same field under the conditions (or close to it).
@@thr8061 I've already read the reviews on both machines and why I said what I said in the first place.
@@thr8061 I agree That's exactly how it's done with most any equipment wether it's agricultural or automotive industry.

@@bigtractorpower Thanks for the response!
396 hp. Because 400 would be too much...
I have no idea. This design ranges from 396 to 517 hp.
@@bigtractorpower yeah, I suspect it's just the german precision. I know Americans like to round to even numbers even though, say, an 8400R may not actually make more more power.
