Used to rn a 65E flat track pulling a 13 shank sunflower disk chisel. Loved that tractor to death. The cab and control layout on those things were great. Rode like a Cadillac in the field but would rattle your fillings out on the road. Lol
I can still remember waiting in line, at Wis. Farm Progress Days (we'll just pretend it was a couple years ago), to test drive a new Challenger 65B. When it was finally my turn, I got up in the cab & just marvelled at all the controls & gauges. Then I saw it.... a steering wheel. The rep looked at me, looking at the wheel & he says, "yeah, we've come a long way from the lever days". Lol! I had a great time in that machine. Went back the following day just to do it all again. Thanks for the video & a wander down memory lane.
That Cat Challenger pulls it along like pulling an empty hay wagon, with our old JD 4010...smooth..Man if I could only go back in time. I did not appreciate what my Dad was doing. But I was just a pup and thought, this is cool living on a farm..
I ran a 95E for 4 or 5 years for my neighbor. I loved it! Tons of power, great ride in the field, and they don’t feel cumbersome, like other tractors of that size do. But I ran the cat first, so maybe I was spoiled. My only complaint: they ride rough on the road. Not a long distance road machine. If I had a need for a tractor that size I’d be looking for one of the D or E series Caterpillars. Thanks for the video!
Awesome CAT and tiller. Love to see it ri it up and lay it down. Seems to do a really nice job of seed bed prep. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy seeing the engineering of the tiller and the CAT power.
Hard to believe there in the fields all ready boy time flies I'm going to make next year Winter project list smaller I don't seem to be able to get them done any how the Challenger looked pretty smooth for running around eight Miles and hour I remember we thought four miles an hour were fast I use to push hard closer to five and Dad after me to slow down before I would break something give anything to hear dad chewing me out again
These flat tack tractors will last 2X longer than the MT series with proper maintenance... Built from components from a scraper and a bulldozer, these components have been proven by decades of use. They hold over 100 gallons of oil total and have 2 large spin on filters for the steering, transmission, and hydraulic system for a total of 6 filters. Just the rear diff holds 55 gallons. Screens and disc magnets, large ones on the trans and differential just in case. Separate compartments to keep contamination if a component fails from damaging other systems. Tracks last over 2X of a 4WD tractors tires and can be relugged for half the cost of new. One of the best longest lasting Ag tractors ever made. Period
when or have they ever made them a positive drive belt for them challengers like the quad tracks so they dont slip in water snow conditions we have the old 75 and they are helpless to turn in snow or mud as the drive wheel slips in the belt
Good morning. I enjoy watching the videos bigtractorpower. Do you have any books on tractors like Tractor by Lee Klancher and also Red Tractors by the same author? Like to know what you think about them. It is amazing the technology present in agriculture. I'm a nurse and I grew up in a rural area and enjoy watching the videos. Keep making them.
Why does he stop partway down the field, stop and turn around? Is it due to the length of the field and allow head rows? Is the field split with another farmer? Or is it some other reason I am not thinking of?
How can you call this implement a vertical tillage implement when it is set up like an offset disc? The only thing vertical are the blades but true vertical tillage implement has zero offset.
Talk to Case IH this what they list it as. It works just the top 2 inches. Most “turbo tolls” today can be set from a 0 to 5 degree angle now to adjust how much soil the farm wants to move.
Yeah... Case (and the other manufacturers) can call this "vertical tillage" until they're blue in the face, but it isn't truly vertical with angled disc gangs which are visibly moving soil horizontally, like all conventional tillage. This is more of a hybrid concept with straight discs and shallow operating depths but angled gangs. It does make a nice looking seedbed -- on top. I suspect there's still a compaction layer effect of sorts even at that shallow depth. It seems like they're primarily trying to incorporate residue?
@BTP: what is the advantage of the MT series and its track configuration versus this series with its smaller track configuration? They are both high hp machines?
You can run less track tension on the MT series because there is larger contract patch with the rear drivers being larger around. It also allows for a less beefy front axle that is cheaper to produce but require more front ballast than the older model. The older "flat track tractors are Caterpillar built, and are comprised of proven over decades components from the construction machines made by Cat in the 60's and 70's. They hold in all oil compartments over 100 gallons of oil. With proper maintenance, they will outlast the MT series 2X.

I have run this tractor for my son-in-law in Iowa pulling a krause dominator. It's a lot of fun. Hoping I can do more of it in my retirement years.
😁👍👍. Great tillage team.
Cat turbos always sound goooood

Almost 20 years and so many hours I spent in this tractor.
Great vid, as always!!! Thanks for your work!!! Hope that the Midwest has a much better spring than last year!!!
That’s amazing! He’s actually stirring up dust!
With sun and wind it does not take long.
Really enjoyed seeing this thank you.

Thanks for another great video.
That thing is a real powerhouse
Nice work on this video. Sounds like a windy day. Love it. This is real action.
Nice cat got to love old tractors. They don’t make them like they used to.
Love the videos and as always it was a great one! Keep up the great work and stay safe.
That is one big badass unit,WOW!😎😎😎
As a kid, these always fascinated me when seeing them out in the fields when they came out
Love all the information. Great looking tractor.
those straight track challengers are up there with some of my favorites along with NH 9882 series articulatora
Great video! Love the cat tractor and now challenger tractors
😁👍👍
Neat tractor. Great vid btp!
I really like to see your videos
Nossa muito bom esse trator
Hi very good video very good tractor end machine i did enjoy 🙏👋🤗
You like live walking encikopedia. I love informative stuff. Keep it up!
Great video👍 That's one nice looking tractor. It's cool to hear the history of the yellow machines👍
Thank you for watching. I like sharing tractor history. It just takes time to find each generation of the tractor line.
Great video BTP! There’s a few of the flat tracked Challengers around here in MI that I know of. Always fun to see them
Nice machine
Awesome!!! 😍😍😍
Very quiet cab

First also I love the vids keep it up
The only thing that I don't like about this tractor is the noisy cab,other then that,it's pretty cool.
I think it was the way the microphone picked up the sound. I find that tractor to be quiet. At least my neighbors is.
Love those flat track crawlers, I’d put a JD Greenstar on her.
hows the ride older ones were terrible for ride never could figure out why they didnt have a full floating cab to take jar and vibration out of ride
I thought the 95E has a nice ride. It seemed very smooth.
Notification squad where you at
👇🏼
Can you add a front end loader to it?
when or have they ever made them a positive drive belt for them challengers like the quad tracks so they dont slip in water snow conditions we have the old 75 and they are helpless to turn in snow or mud as the drive wheel slips in the belt
Go with the cast drivers, they will help

That is the edge of the field where the next farm’s ground starts. He is just backed up to square the edges
bigtractorpower ah okay. Thanks for clearing that up! Keep up the great work! Your channel Reminds me of home.

When do they start planting?
Early April.
What kind of tillage tool are they using?
Jace Marks case ih turbo till.
That’s a farmer, no auto steer
nice vid
looks like a relic now compared to the new Agco 875... wow!!!
Yeah we’ll drive over anything
Must be the last of the small drive sprocket.
Where in Eastern Illinois?
Not far from Ridge Farm
@@bigtractorpower Thanks!
I guess tillage is better than plowing?🤔🤔
Plowing is tillage. This field was mulch ripped in the fall with a Case IH 870. This 330 smooths the seed bed.
What year is this tractor?
I am not sure which year this one was produced. The 95E was built from 1998-2001.
bigtractorpower It is a good looking tractor.
Actually driving it , unusual these days !!!
