Not disputing any of that as said they do us well Dealer has been very good. But struggled to keep us moving which isn't I don't feel massively there fault just frustrating. Challengers have an engine issue even my Rep admitted it when handing over my quote and that's far better thing to admit then deny it. E23 is good but sadly doesn't suit us. Plus our lads learnt a Fendt quicker then they did E23, a 16 speed just needed to go to 19 and it be fine if you go power shift you want it simpler and grunt which 9L does(y)

E23 is a power shift and can be used I manual mode

I know but Then might have well stayed with the 16 keep it cheaper really just my view. But this is from my brief drive and the rest lads who had it opinon may change if drove it for longer though so not outruling it. But has to be vario for our use though. Or creeper

Having a new 7 cylinder engine in the Challenger.
Have been told the piston rings are to close together.
So the tractor is being fitted with a new block that is a bit taller to take the new taller pistons.

I thought the engine recall was about the iffy emissions affair and replace the manual tappet valves that are every 500hr adjustment for hydraulic ones?
