So the deal appears to have gone through and partial financing approved.
I will soon be the owner of a 2015 Challenger MT655E.


Don’t worry about the blue cap. It’s been taken care of. Snowplow frame removed, too. ;)

Congratulations!!! I looked at the link to see how much HP it has, and was impressed by 265HP, but then I saw how big the fuel tank is, and now I'm really impressed!!! 166 gallons. WOW, you'll feel that when you fill it up.

265, but 295HP peak and a few ponies were added when the blue cap was addressed, too.
I think she’s pushing over 300 at the twisty thing on the back ;)

You'll feel the DEF when you fill that as well. Too much emissions crap for me.

Is the one in the picture? All dressed up with weights. Looking good! Congrats!

You've been building quite an arsenal in the past couple of years. All the best!

By the comments in the previous posts I'm pretty sure he'll only ever fill it once if that.

Some people go right for a negative.
Even when the negative doesn’t exist.

Business is ”booming”….kinda. Rumor has it I may be getting another 120 acres.

The weights will really help on the slopes.

She’s down at the tire shop getting 2 tires replaced. Man,,,,it never stops.
I must have spent 20 grand on tires last 4-5 years.

Even if I squint it doesn’t look like my Challenger. Nice looking tractor, now put it to work! I just looked at the picture again, I bet it has a few thousand dollars worth of weights on the front.

On the back, too.
It has (4) 250KG rear axle weights.

This is the tire being replaced. Will make a good spare. Hope I never need it.

(1) Vredestein on the back and (1) Trelleborg on the front.
Congrats on the 120 acres!!! Is that going to be hay, or just mowing?

My Massey has Trelleborg tires. I'm terrified what they might cost when I have to buy new ones.

That's always nice to hear! The first part that is. Specially considering that farmers keep getting an harder harder conditions to work, all over the world.

The second part, well, those radials ain't cheap! I bet one of the front ones would be enough money for me to get 4 rims and 4 radials to put on mine.

Hay! :)

They’re actually more on the affordable end. Not a bad tire, but some complain the sidewalls check on them prematurely. Got to keep them inflated properly and keep the tractor shedded when not in use.
