Introduction

Challenger MT585D: Row-Crop Tractor Specifications

The Challenger MT585D is a row-crop tractor produced between 2012 and 2014, designed for high-capacity agricultural operations. It belongs to the Challenger MT500D series and was manufactured in facilities located in Jackson, Minnesota, USA, and Beauvais, France.

Engine Performance

The tractor is powered by a 7.4-liter, 6-cylinder AGCO Power engine. This turbocharged, intercooled diesel unit features an electronic high-pressure common rail fuel system and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) for emission control, meeting Interim Tier IV standards. It produces a rated power of 220 hp (164.1 kW) with a maximum power output of 235 hp (175.2 kW) at 2100 rated RPM.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The MT585D offers two transmission configurations: the AutoPower VI, a 24-speed six-speed power shift, or the TechStar CVT, a continuously variable transmission. Both options facilitate infinite forward and reverse speed control. The drivetrain includes a four-wheel-drive system with an electro-hydraulic fully locking differential and inboard planetary final drives.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system utilizes a Closed Center Load Sensing (CCLS) design with a total flow capacity of 29 gpm (109.8 lpm), capable of supporting two to four remote valves. The rear PTO is independently operated via an electro-hydraulic clutch, providing multiple speed configurations including 540, 540E, and 1000 RPM options.

Dimensions and Capacity

Built on a 117-inch wheelbase, the tractor has a shipping weight of 17,000 lbs, with a maximum weight capacity of 27,560 lbs. The rear hitch is a Category III type, featuring electronic lower link draft control, with a rear lift capacity reaching up to 12,500 lbs (5670 kg) on AutoPower models.

Conclusion

The Challenger MT585D is a robust row-crop tractor engineered for demanding fieldwork, offering significant hydraulic performance and versatile transmission options. Its design emphasizes operator comfort and precise implement control, making it a suitable choice for large-scale agricultural tasks.
