Is it safe to drive a cat Challenger Tractor?
If these tractors are in good shape, it should have a little blow-by at start-up, then gradually go away. When you drive it, pay attention to the 2-3, 5-6, and 8-9 shifts. They are kind of sharp due to range shaft changes, but if they seem to slip, I would stay away. As long as the tractor doesn’t have 18,000 hrs, you should be fine.
