Inside NFM’s March 2015 issue

In New Farm Machinery magazine’s March 2015 issue, on-sale March 2, we hunted down one of the last Cat Challenger tractors in Australia for a test drive.

From now on, Challenger tractors will all feature Agco engines so pull on your Caterpillar work boots, slip a can in your Cat stubby holder and take a moment to reflect as Tom Dickson takes you on a journey of discovery about the Cat Challenger MT865C Crawler tractor. Watch the video review.

Besides the big Cat, our plethora of reviews for this issue includes:

Roving reporter Steve Kealy sat down with Harry Green, founder of PJ Green Agricultural Engineering who believes in keeping things simple. Happily, he’s struck a chord with hardy souls who work the land the length and breadth of Australia.
