Introduction
Challenger MT735 Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Challenger MT735 is an agricultural crawler tractor manufactured by AGCO between 2002 and 2004 in Jackson, Minnesota, USA. Designed for heavy-duty field operations, this tracked machine belongs to the MT745 series and emphasizes high-capacity performance and soil traction.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Caterpillar liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. With a displacement of 537 cubic inches (8.8 L) and a compression ratio of 16.0:1, the engine delivers a gross power output of 235 hp (175.2 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. The engine cooling is supported by a dual paper element air cleaner system.
Transmission and Drive
The MT735 features a crawler drive system. Two transmission options are available: a 16-speed full power shift transmission or a 30-speed creeper transmission. Both configurations utilize hydraulic wet disc clutches, allowing for efficient gear transitions under load. Steering is managed through an electro-hydraulic system, complemented by wet disc brakes for reliable stopping power.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is designed for demanding implements, providing a total flow of 43.5 gpm (164.6 lpm) at a pressure of 2900 psi (200.0 bar). The system supports between 4 and 6 valves. The rear hitch is a Category III type, capable of lifting up to 16,000 lbs (7,257 kg).
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The tractor has a wheelbase of 96 inches (243 cm) and a total weight of 28,185 lbs (12,784 kg), ensuring stability on varied terrain. The operator station consists of a standard cab equipped with air-conditioning to maintain comfort during extensive work cycles.
Conclusion
The Challenger MT735 is a specialized crawler tractor engineered for high-draft agricultural tasks. Its combination of robust Caterpillar power, high-flow hydraulic capacity, and crawler traction makes it suitable for operations requiring significant pulling force and minimal soil compaction.
