Introduction
Challenger MT495D Utility Tractor
The Challenger MT495D is a utility tractor produced by AGCO between 2014 and 2016. Designed for versatile agricultural operations, it belongs to the MT400 series, offering high-performance engine and hydraulic configurations suitable for various field tasks.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by an AGCO Power 49AWI 4.9L, 4-cylinder, 16-valve turbocharged diesel engine. It features liquid cooling, an air-to-air intercooler, and an electronic high-pressure common rail fuel system. Meeting Interim Tier IV emission standards, it utilizes selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for exhaust management and produces 150 gross horsepower at a rated 2200 RPM.
Transmission Options
The MT495D offers two transmission configurations. The AutoPower VI is a 24-speed power shift transmission providing six power shift gears across four ranges. Alternatively, the Techstar CVT provides a continuously variable transmission, allowing for infinite forward and reverse speed control without manual gear shifting.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with a Closed Center Load Sensing (CCLS) hydraulic system, the tractor delivers up to 29 gpm (109.8 lpm) of flow, complemented by two to four hydraulic valves. The rear hitch is a Category III/II system featuring electronic lower link draft sensing, capable of lifting 11,400 lbs (5,171 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Mechanical and Operator Environment
The chassis is configured for four-wheel drive and utilizes hydrostatic power steering paired with wet disc brakes for reliable maneuverability and stopping power. The operator environment includes a standard cab equipped with air conditioning to ensure comfort during extended operation.
Power Take-Off
The rear PTO is an independent system offering multiple speed settings, including 540, 540E, 1000, and 1000E RPM options, allowing for efficient operation of various implements depending on power and torque requirements.
Conclusion
With its 150-horsepower engine, advanced hydraulic flow, and choice of sophisticated transmissions, the Challenger MT495D is a well-rounded utility tractor suited for demanding agricultural applications requiring high precision and sustained performance.
