Challenger MT555D tractor heading my way

[Torvy]

Big is always relative. Your 1st kid seems awfully small until the 2nd one is born. Then the 1st one seems like a giant.

My tractor is a frame size bigger than my neighbors', but it's tiny compared to this:

That old IH is so striking.

Good luck with it. My used purchase has been mostly good with few surprises, but a few.

What dealer did you buy it from?

And on a slightly different topic, you mentioned BKT tires. What’s your experience with them, if any? I have them on a smaller tractor and am frankly disappointed in the wear rate.

BTI
Great Bend, Kansas.

Different size tires can be made in different ways. I’ve mostly had good luck with all tires except Goodyear.
I am kinda neutral on BTK. Better than economy tires, but they aren’t as good as others like Firestone, Michelin, Trelleborg et al.

Just picked up a 2012 Challenger MT555D with an ML78 loader & grapple bucket.
It should be here in 3-4 weeks.
