Challenger Accepted
March 18, 2026
Iowa farmer John Fehr is committed to protecting his soil so it doesn’t erode through wind and water. And that means minimizing soil compaction whenever he can. John’s Challenger 1050 was equipped with wide IF radial tires. He noticed that the tractor caused less soil compaction than his track machines, but he wanted to be able to use it year round. So he asked us to come up with a custom tire setup using the tallest VF row crop tires possible. The result is a large footprint and a row-crop tractor that’s ready for work spring, summer, and fall.
