Ontario Canada | Have been looking at a new tractor in the 130-140 PTO hp range, have tried a Challenger 555B with the IVT transmission, cab and front suspension, pretty much loaded with everything, 18.4R-42 axle duals and switiching our loader from a NewHolland TS 135A which we are trading, have looked at a John Deere 7430 same specs and a Puma 165 with the new IVT transmission, now my question is which one, i can get the 7430 with 200 hours, a lease return for $32-35 difference Canadian and the Puma dealer is trying to match it and the Challenger is almost the same price as the Deere, so which will be the nicest for loader work, planting with an 8 row Kinze planter and a 15' John Deere 1590 drill, spraying and chopping stalks, looking for the best fuel economy, best power and which will last with the least amount of problems down the road. Deere only has 1 year left of warranty and the Challenger has 4 with the 3rd and 4th with a deductible while the Puma has a full 4 year warranty on it, hope to hear your thoughts and comments and really like to hear from some owners of these models, thanks for any and all replies.
