Introduction
Challenger MT655C Row-Crop Tractor
The Challenger MT655C is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor manufactured in Beauvais, France, between 2009 and 2010. Designed for demanding agricultural operations, this machine combines advanced transmission technology with a robust engine to provide consistent pulling power and operational versatility.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an 8.4-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. It delivers a gross power output of 265 hp, peaking at 295 hp. The fuel system utilizes electronic high-pressure common rail technology. To meet emissions standards, the engine employs AGCO's e3 selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, with an optional exhaust-gas recirculation (IEGR) version also available.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Power is transmitted via the Techstar CVT, a continuously variable transmission that provides infinite forward and reverse gears, allowing for precise speed adjustment regardless of engine RPM. The drivetrain features four-wheel drive with electro-hydraulic front and rear differential locks, ensuring traction in varied field conditions. Final drives are of the planetary type.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a closed-center load-sensing type, delivering a total flow of 46.2 gpm (174.9 lpm) at a pressure of 2,901 psi. It supports 4 to 6 valves for external equipment. The rear Category III hitch features electronic lower-link draft sensing, with a maximum lift capacity of 26,460 lbs (12,002 kg) at the ends. An optional front lift system with a capacity of 11,020 lbs (4,998 kg) is also available.
Operator Environment
The MT655C comes standard with a climate-controlled cab featuring heating and air conditioning. Optional enhancements include a heated seat, power-adjustable mirrors, and automatic temperature control to improve operator comfort during extended work intervals.
Conclusion
The Challenger MT655C is engineered for large-scale agricultural tasks where high torque and precise speed control are required. Its combination of a high-capacity hydraulic system, CVT transmission, and significant lift capabilities makes it a suitable solution for heavy-duty row-crop applications.
