Introduction
Challenger MT535E Row-Crop Tractor
The Challenger MT535E is a row-crop tractor produced by AGCO in Jackson, Minnesota, between 2015 and 2020. This machine is designed for diverse agricultural operations, combining heavy-duty mechanical components with precision technology.
Engine and Emissions
The tractor is powered by an AGCO Power 6-cylinder, 6.6-liter turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. It provides a rated power of 150 hp (111.9 kW) at 2100 RPM, with a maximum gross power output reaching 185 hp (138.0 kW). To meet Tier IV emission standards, the engine utilizes selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The MT535E offers two transmission configurations: the AutoPower VI, a 24-speed, six-speed power shift transmission, or the TechStar continuously-variable transmission (CVT) for infinite speed control. The machine features four-wheel drive, power steering, and electro-hydraulic differential locks on both the front and rear axles to ensure optimal traction.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The closed-center load-sensing hydraulic system delivers a standard total flow of 29 gpm (109.8 lpm), which can be increased to 50 gpm (189.2 lpm) when equipped with the CVT option. The system operates at a pressure of 2900 psi (200.0 bar) and supports 3 or 4 remote valves. The rear Category II hitch provides a standard lifting capacity of 8900 lbs (4037 kg), with an increased capacity of 15500 lbs (7030 kg) available on CVT-equipped models. A front hitch with a 6200 lbs (2812 kg) lift capacity is also integrated.
Operator Environment
The tractor is equipped with a standard cab featuring air conditioning. It is compatible with the Auto-Guide 3000 precision farming system, allowing for automated guidance and improved operational efficiency in the field.
Conclusion
The Challenger MT535E is a versatile row-crop tractor suited for professional agricultural use, offering the flexibility of both power shift and CVT transmissions combined with high-capacity hydraulic performance, making it adaptable to a wide range of heavy-duty implements.
