Introduction
Challenger MT585E Row-Crop Tractor
The Challenger MT585E is a high-performance row-crop tractor manufactured by AGCO in Jackson, Minnesota, between 2015 and 2020. This machine is engineered for heavy-duty agricultural operations, combining significant power output with advanced transmission and hydraulic systems.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a 7.4-liter, 6-cylinder AGCO Power engine. This liquid-cooled, turbocharged, and intercooled diesel engine generates a rated power of 220 hp (164.1 kW) at 2100 RPM, with a maximum gross power of 260 hp (193.9 kW). The engine utilizes Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology to comply with Tier IV emission standards.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Operators can choose between two transmission systems: the AutoPower VI, a six-speed power shift providing 24 forward and reverse gears, or the TechStar continuously-variable transmission (CVT) for infinite speed control. The tractor features four-wheel drive, power steering, and electro-hydraulic differential locks on both the front and rear axles to ensure traction in varied field conditions.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center load-sensing design with a pressure rating of 2900 psi (200 bar). Standard SCV flow is 26.4 gpm, with options to increase total flow to 39 gpm with the AutoPower VI or 50 gpm with the CVT transmission. The rear hitch is a category III/IIIN type with a lift capacity of 13,500 lbs, which increases to 16,700 lbs when equipped with the CVT transmission.
Operator Environment
The MT585E comes standard with an air-conditioned cab designed for long working hours. It includes the Auto-Guide 3000 guidance system, facilitating precision agriculture tasks. The mechanical configuration includes hydraulic wet disc brakes for reliable stopping power.
Conclusion
The Challenger MT585E is a versatile row-crop tractor suited for professional agricultural use, offering the necessary hydraulic capacity, lift strength, and transmission flexibility required for intensive field work and heavy implement management.
