  • INTRODUCTION CHALLENGER MT SERIES

    GENERAL

    The new Challenger tractors have been developed to meet the needs of todays progressive growers. Advanced styling combined with high performance features provide improved versatility and outstanding reliability. While designing these new features, Challenger engineers were dedicated to providing a tractor that has proven durability and exceptional operator comfort and convenience. Advanced engine and power train technology define the 60 to 225 horsepower Challenger tractors. This allows better compatibility with a wide variety of equipment and will make owning an Challenger tractor more appealing to owners and operators across a larger spectrum of needs and demands.

    DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT

    The CHALLENGER Series tractor family is comprised of the following models: The Challenger MT400B Series tractors feature amenities that the customers have asked for. Caterpillar engines provide durable and reliable power for tough jobs. A 16X16 transmission provide the customer with easier operation and lower maintenance costs. The cabs have been designed with efficient air conditioning operation and control. Easy to remove engine side panels still make tractor service convenient.

    The Challenger MT500B Series tractors have been developed to meet a wider variety of demands. More chassis designs are offered in a broader horsepower range. Five cab tractors will meet the demands of customers needing a highly flexible loader tractor or small to mid size row crop tractor. The 500B tractors will meet the needs of todays farmers, landscapers or municipalities.
