Introduction
Challenger MT655D Row-Crop Tractor
The Challenger MT655D is a row-crop tractor produced between 2011 and 2013 in Jackson, Minnesota, USA. Part of the AGCO group, this model represents a high-capacity machine designed to meet the requirements of professional agricultural operations.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is equipped with an 8.4-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine featuring turbocharging and air-to-air intercooling. It utilizes an electronic high-pressure common rail fuel system and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to meet Interim Tier IV emission standards. The engine delivers a gross power output of 265 hp (197.6 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM, with a maximum power rating of 295 hp (220.0 kW).
Transmission and Drivetrain
Power is managed through a Techstar continuously variable transmission (CVT), which allows for infinite forward and reverse speeds. The machine features a four-wheel drive system with inboard planetary final drives and an electro-hydraulic differential lock to ensure traction in varied field conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is a closed-center load-sensing (CCLS) type, providing a total flow of 46 gpm (174.1 lpm) at a pressure of 2900 psi (200.0 bar). It supports between 4 and 6 valves for external equipment. The independent rear PTO is electro-hydraulically engaged and offers multiple speed options, including 540E, 1000, and 1000E, to accommodate diverse implements.
Dimensions and Capacity
Built on a 122-inch wheelbase, the MT655D has a maximum weight capacity of 33,070 lbs (15,000 kg). The rear hitch is a Category III type, capable of lifting 22,760 lbs (10,323 kg). The tractor is designed with a standard cab that includes air-conditioning, with options for the OptiRide Plus hydraulic suspension to enhance operator comfort.
Conclusion
The Challenger MT655D is a heavy-duty tractor suited for demanding row-crop applications. Its combination of a high-output engine, versatile CVT transmission, and substantial hydraulic capacity makes it a reliable tool for large-scale agricultural tasks requiring precision and sustained power.
