Cub Cadet Challenger 750

[K man]

What!!!!! no comments on my beautiful Challenger lol.

 

[K man]

Here is my Cub Cadet all dressed up for snow removal.
Had a Denali 6' plow with hydro turn. Also had vents installed in the windshield. I inserted glass top on my doors. Plowed 3 times with it and she is powerful. Very happy with my Challenger and also power steering is great to have.

That sure does look nice. I don't have a CC dealer here, but I was working out of town a couple months ago and saw a couple at a dealer. I thought they looked pretty good. You're in Ontario too? What are the Canadian prices on those if you don't mind me asking?

I should have stopped and looked at them when i was out of town.

I was always a Polaris guy, but the quality and quality control on my new one is way down compared to my 05 and 09. I'm no longer impressed with them.

If I recall I paid around 16,000.00 for it. This a new redesigned Challenger 550/750 series that came out in 2017.
It came loaded with winch, windshield, mirrors, front and rear 2" receivers. I had looked at Polaris, Honda and Yamaha with the options that come with the CC and their prices where out of this world. I will tell you that the price of the CC has gone up by 1700 since buying mine and the reason for that is they are to find. If you see any at the dealers stop and look at one and try it out and you will be amazed on how comfortable they ride etc. Very happy with mine bought 6 months ago with no issues yet fingers crossed. Starts good in the cold weather so far and we have gone down to - 25 and she fired right up must have something to do with the EFI.

I just looked up the dealer I saw them at.

219 Cub Cadet Challenger 75 EPS for sale | Allen's Automotive - Manitowaning (75) 859-2525

They have a lots of nice features like you say. You have any dislikes so far?

 

[K man]

Just a few minor:
Takes a while to get use to the stick shift as you have to push hard on the brake to change from park to Hi and the symbol on the dash does not really match the gear selection maybe a little alignment on the cable would fix that.
I have the top doors, back window and windshield and it very loud inside the cab but nice and quiet in the summer without the windows etc.
Lots of power but a bit sluggish on the acceleration and probably can be fixed with some tuning.
I love the inside very comfortable and roomy. The ride is great and the power steering is a great feature. Other than that it is a well built machine. Take one out for a spin and see for yourself.

I found that with the Kubota RTV-X1100C cab. I tried one last summer and I was shocked at how loud it was in the cab.

Did you put a heater in the cab for your plowing? Do you think it will fog up at all?

I was just at my Kubota dealer today and they have some of the new RTV 850 Sidekicks there. They are about 18 grand too. But not as many features as what you have.

I had vents installed on the windshield ( if you look at the pics) for that purpose if it fogs up and also I have a small ceramic heater blower that connects into my auxiliary plug in the cab. So far had no big problems with fogging up. Would love to put in a real inline heater which is available only in the U.S for the CC. Also looking at some kind of insulation sound barrier for inside the cab to quiet it down for next year. So far I use headphones when plowing which muffles out the noises.

I was at a Kubota dealer today and looked at their UTV Side Kicks and am not impressed with them they look so big and bulky. Looking from the back under the tilt box everything is so clustered and tight. They also had a few RTV 1100 with cab and doors and did not like them either. So my CC to me is nicer all around sharp looking machine. Glad I bought it.

I saw one of these outside of our dealer. Pretty good looking rigs. :thumbsup:

Thanks, they are a nice looking machine. Up here in Canada they are hard to find as they sold at most dealers . Maybe by Spring they will start to appear at our nearest dealers. Good sign that CC Challengers 750 EPS are selling and in demand. Sales are pretty good for 2nd year in production of this redesigned Challenger.

 

[K man]

Here is a pic of the dump box and it doesn't look very big sideways considering the bike it self is over 10 ft long.





Looking at it from the back it is a fair size 34 x 46 x 11 and if you drop the tail gate it will give you another 11 inches

 

[klm]

any other colors besides yellow?

is that bed plastic or sprayed on bedliner?

you started it at -25, thats amazing.

 

[K man]

Yes , black, red and camo also available. The box is some kind of hard polymar like the wheel barrows with a steel frame under for strenght, not sprayed. Yes it started at -25 no problems cause it is gas and they usually start better in the cold than diesels engines like on my tractor which I plug in during the really cold days.

Can you tell me what model snow plow you got. Did it mount right up. I want to get one but just making sure it will fit my cub.

It is a Denali 72" Country ( which is tapered from 18 -24 ") Plow with Hydro turn. The Challenger as a factory installed mount for plow hook up at the front under the winch. You drive up to the plow and install 2 pins and hook up the winch and you are ready to go that easy. I bought mine in the states at the ATV Superstore. Hope this helps.
Here is a pic of it. The straps and rollers where option.

Thanks for your reply...yes that helps allot. Also you are right about the noise in the enclosed cab. I put a thick blanket over the seat and that helped some what.

Thanks, what year and model do you have. Other than the noisy cab I love this Challenger with power steering it is a great all around machine for sure and worth every penny. I will be working on trying out different things to quiet the cab down for next Winter as for the Summer the top doors, back window come out and the noise is gone. That is when I enjoy this machine the best. I read somewhere that some of the noise coming in through the snorkel air duck that comes in from under the seat behind front legs but make sure you do not cover vent.

 

[tstae]

Mine is a 2018 750 EPS black. I tried to get yellow but one could not be found. Very nice machine if it wasn't for the noise but I can live with that. Like you said it is just with the cab enclosed. I will make sure I don't cover the snorkel....thanks. I also have a 2017 Kubota Grand L 4760 cab tractor & loader with a woodmaxx snow blower on back. I was thinking it would be nice to have a blade on the cub for the little jobs. Do you have any problems with power with the bigger blade?

 

[K man]

No problems with the machine plowing with that size blade she has a lot of power. Was is good about it is the differential locks they work amazingly well when plowing an pushing snow give it traction and no need for chains. I was using a 5 foot plow on my 700 Kawasaki UTV before so a foot is not that much difference. My machine is also 2018 EPS in yellow which was available and like cause it show up nicely in the snow lol. I use my 2014 Kioti CK30 HST with cab and heat and a 66" front mount blower whenever it is cold or the snow is heavy. Nice to have one or the other to play with in the snow lol. Do you live in the U.S.A
