This time last year in North America, AGCO unveiled the Challenger 1000 Series (Challenger 1038, Challenger 1042, Challenger 1046, Challenger 1050). It is a badge-engineered version of the existing range-topping Fendt 1000 Vario Series (Fendt 1038 Vario, Fendt 1042 Vario, Fendt 1046 Vario, Fendt 1050 Vario). The 1000 Vario Series stretches from 396 to 517hp; all models in the range are powered by MAN 6-cylinder, 12.4L engines. The top model – the 1050 Vario – can muster up to 2,400Nm of torque at 1,100rpm. The tractor can reach 60kph at a fuel-sipping 1,450rpm; it can cruise at a leisurely 40kph at just 950rpm – not much above tick-over.
The decision to re-badge these tractors as Challenger units for some markets is not unusual. For several decades, many manufacturers – not just AGCO – have followed a ‘common platform’ strategy, whereby one range of tractors or machines is offered in two or more brand liveries, albeit with subtle or not-so-subtle changes to help differentiate between the brands.
For example, Same Deutz-Fahr (SDF) – and Same Lamborghini Hurlimann (SLH) before that – has been doing this for many years. So too have Case New Holland (CNH) and ARGO Tractors (the parent company of Landini, McCormick and Valpadana) – and many more besides.
In one of the more unusual tie-ups, some Zetors tractors were badged and sold as John Deere models (finished in a green and yellow livery) in some South American countries.
AGCO – the parent company that encompasses the likes of Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Valtra and Challenger – is essentially no different; it plays to the strengths and loyalties associated with each individual brand – on a market-by-market and country-by-country basis.
For instance, it pushes Fendt in Germany and the surrounding European markets; whereas the same product might fare better wearing a Challenger badge (and backed up by the Challenger network) in parts of the US.

Challenger products, including its rubber-tracked tractor line-up, will be “integrated into the Fendt brand” in Europe before the end of this year. Green-liveried rubber-tracked Challenger tractors have started to appear. However, it must be stressed that these are not “official” shots; nor can their authenticity be verified at this stage. What has been confirmed, thus far, is that Fendt dealers across western and central Europe will be able to sell ‘green’ tracked tractors and sprayers – after this year’s Agritechnica show in November. Deliveries of the first such machines are planned for the first quarter of next year (2018).
The styling of Fendt’s existing 1000 Vario Series wheeled tractors is already evident on the latest rubber-tracked Challengers. We expect this same styling to also be adopted on some smaller wheeled tractors in Fendt’s line-up. Though badged as a 1000 Vario Series model, this tractor (below) appears to be smaller than current models and also bears a new number. Is this a pointer to future styling cues for its lower-horsepower tractors? Challenger products will continue to be sold through the existing network (in the existing colour scheme) in North America, South America, Asia-Pacific and Africa. In Europe, production of Challenger products will be moved from AGCO’s factory in Grubbenvorst (Netherlands), to Hohenmolsen (Germany) – the site on which various Fendt Katana self-propelled forage harvesters are built.
Research and development, along with some other activities, will remain in Grubbenvorst.
