Subject: Excited about my new Challenger 1042 (Fendt)


I am amazed about the power and performance of my new Challenger 1042. The Man engine is awesome. It's the quietest diesel I have ever been around. Full torque at 1100 rpm's; is all there. It has noticeable more power than my Challenger 775E track machine. The 1042 pulls my 25 shank parabolic deep ripper 1.5 mph faster than the 775E track machine. I've also ran a 7 20" Tatu switch breaking plow and packer that this tractor handled with ease.

The 1042 has great traction. No problem getting all the power to the ground. The 480 95 50's are a huge traction boost over the 480 80 50's.

The 1042 is the quietest and smoothest ride I have ever driven. I like the traction system that engages the front end as needed. No more worry about front end engagement or rabbit and turtle with the CVT tranny. Now have over 150 hours with flawless performance.

This tractor is a pleasure to drive.
