Introduction
Challenger MT495E Utility Tractor
The Challenger MT495E is a utility tractor manufactured in France between 2017 and 2020. Designed for versatile agricultural operations, it belongs to the Challenger MT400E series, offering a balance of mechanical durability and electronic precision features.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4.9-liter, 4-cylinder AGCO Power engine. This liquid-cooled diesel unit features intercooled turbocharging and a high-pressure common rail direct injection fuel system. It provides a rated power of 150 hp (111.9 kW) and a maximum power of 160 hp (119.3 kW). To comply with Tier IV emission standards, the engine utilizes selective catalytic reduction technology.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The MT495E offers two transmission configurations: the AutoPower VI, a six-speed power shift system providing 24 forward and reverse gears, or the TechStar CVT, a continuously-variable transmission for infinite speed control. The drivetrain includes a four-wheel-drive system with electro-hydraulic front and rear differential locks and hydraulic wet disc brakes.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is of the open-center type, featuring a standard pump flow of 26 gpm (98.4 lpm), with optional configurations reaching up to 50 gpm (189.2 lpm). It supports up to five valves for implement control. The independent rear PTO provides versatile speed options, including 540, 540E, 1000, and 1000E RPM settings.
Hitch and Capacity
The rear hitch is a Type III/II system equipped with telescopic link ends. It offers a lift capacity of 11,244 lbs (5,100 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the lift point, allowing for the operation of a wide range of heavy-duty implements.
Operator Environment
The tractor comes standard with an air-conditioned cab designed for operator comfort. It includes power steering and offers the optional integration of the Auto-Guide 3000 system, which provides precision guidance capabilities for field operations.
Conclusion
The Challenger MT495E is a robust utility tractor suited for varied farming tasks, characterized by its French manufacturing, high hydraulic flexibility, and the availability of both powershift and CVT transmission options to meet specific operational requirements.
