We had a 1050 demo last year. I’m definitely a JD fan but would consider a Challenger for our next purchase. Controls are overly complicated I felt, not a fan of Agco GPS and hyd outlets set in considerably from the drawbar so its hard to make the hyd hoses stretch far enough. On the plus side, I loved the cab, loved the transmission. Couldn’t really push the power because our implements are not large enough for 500hp. Dealer support/parts makes it difficult to look at much anything other than JD. Agco parts are a minimum 3 days delivery unless we want to pay overnight freight whereas JD is next day by 8am.
