It’s been a good year for Challenger, says national sale manager, Martin Hamer, with the first of the newly re-styled C Series on the AGCO stand and the order bank for 2009 strong.

Launched in autumn last year, the 700 and 800 C models feature a new tractor management system and console, coupled with TMC large-screen ISO-Bus compatible display. A high output hydraulic system with flowrate control located on the armrest and a “Poly” mid-wheel complete the facelift.

Both models are already in production, and there will be units available for demos before harvest. Anyone ordering a Challenger 700 or 800 C will get one about harvest time.
