This week I saw a large (I'm guessing 100HP+) yellow tractor applying dairy lagoon waste to a field via a three-axle tanker trailer. The tractor style reminded me of current NH Tx models and I thought I spotted a NH logo on the hood. However, I don't see any yellow tractors at Agricultural & Farm Machinery | New Holland (US) | NHAG. The tractor appeared to be fairly new.

I'm not aware of any dealers of large tractors in my area (NC Piedmont) other than Deere, NH, and Case IH.

The nearest Challenger dealer is in Rock Hill, SC, but that is 70 miles away. The color of the tractor I saw appeared to be lighter/brighter than the Challenger photos at Products. Does anyone other than Challenger make large yellow tractors?

I thought New Holland made both blue and yellow farm tractors? Seems like I've seen yellow ones for sale online somewhere, but never in person.

Around NC, Caterpillar Challenger tractors are somewhat common...

Now who would buy a tractor based only on COLOR ???:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Unless, of course it is ORANGE...

My local NH dealer has them in yellow and blue.


Thanks. It's a comfort to know that I didn't just imagine seeing the NH logo.:)

I find it curious that NH's yellow tractors don't show up on its Web site. Deere dominates the large ag. equipment in my area -- I didn't realize that NH's combines and forage harvesters are yellow.

Is there any difference between Blue New Holland tractors and Red Case tractors? Adding Yellow to the mix seems to be just another option. What's next? green and orange?

Could be a Euro model shipped over. They don't have all the emission crap on them, affordable for high HP tractors.
