James-  What I remembered was the Agco selling to certain Cat dealers part..
Just like the CASE & New Holland, only painted yellow.

Cat sold the whole ag equipment product line.

[ Carl Gogol] I had thought that Agco had built challenger for Cat-  could
be wrong.

[James] When Agco bought the Challenger brand from Caterpillar, they
expanded the plant in Jackson and moved tracked Challenger production there.
Assembling the wheeled tractors at Jackson required another plant expansion.

[ Jason] Most manufacturing plants are located these days where the largest
market for those exists. From there they are shipped around the world. Large
frame tractors are built in the US for Deere, CaseIH and New Holland.  It
makes sense for Agco do to the same.
