Introduction
Challenger 1050 Series 1046 Row-Crop Tractor
The Challenger 1050 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor produced between 2017 and 2021 in Marktoberdorf, Germany. Designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations, it combines significant tractive capacity with advanced precision technology.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by a 12.4-liter, 6-cylinder MAN diesel engine featuring a variable-geometry turbocharger. It delivers a gross rated power of 517 hp (385.5 kW) at 1700 RPM, with a peak torque of 1770 lb-ft (2400.1 Nm) achieved at 1450 RPM. The engine meets Tier IV emission standards through the use of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). Power is managed by the Accu-VT continuously variable transmission, which provides infinite forward and reverse speed control.
