Brazilton KS
I'm an 8850 driver. I like the tractor. It does have the potential to get prohibitively expensive if the engine lays down. It's a heck of a lot more tractor then 950s would ever think of being....although there used to be 600 hp surplus 903s all over the place....put one of those in a 12 bolt axle tractor and you'd have had an axle tube snapping sob!

With that said...I couldn't imaging trying to run a grain cart with an 8850. Just not an application for a manual transmission. The first tractor we used on the cart was the 7520....at the time we thought it was wonderful but that was only because we didn't know any better! The Challenger idea is the answer to teh grain cart application. I have not seen anything else which was even close to comparing.
