Introduction
Challenger MT635 Row-Crop Tractor
The Challenger MT635 is a row-crop tractor produced between 2002 and 2003 at the AGCO manufacturing facility in Beauvais, France. This model, which shares a similar design platform with the Massey Ferguson 8245, is designed for demanding agricultural operations requiring significant traction and power.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Sisu 7.4-liter (449 ci) 6-cylinder diesel engine. It features a turbocharger and an aftercooler system to optimize combustion efficiency. The engine operates at a rated speed of 2200 RPM and produces 177 horsepower. It utilizes a liquid-cooling system and dual paper elements for air filtration.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The MT635 is equipped with a power shift transmission offering 18 forward and 6 reverse gears. The system integrates an electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch for smooth gear transitions. Power is delivered through a four-wheel drive system, supported by power steering and hydraulic wet disc brakes for controlled operation.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is of the closed-center pressure flow compensated (PFC) type, providing a total flow of 29 gpm (109.8 lpm) at a pressure of 2900 psi (200 bar), with the option to increase flow to 39 gpm (147.6 lpm). It includes four valves for implement control. The independent rear PTO offers dual speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM, engaged at engine speeds of 1991 and 2091 RPM respectively.
Hitch and Dimensions
The rear of the tractor features a Category III hitch capable of a lift capacity of 16,100 lbs (7,302 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point. The machine has a wheelbase of 121 inches (307 cm) and a minimum width of 98.2 inches (249 cm). The shipping weight is 18,900 lbs (8,573 kg).
Conclusion
The Challenger MT635 is a specialized row-crop tractor engineered for high-output agricultural tasks. Its combination of a high-capacity hydraulic system, 177-horsepower Sisu engine, and versatile power-shift transmission makes it suitable for heavy-duty field work and large-scale farming applications.
