Introduction
Challenger MT738 Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Challenger MT738 is a specialized agricultural crawler tractor produced by AGCO in Jackson, Minnesota, USA. Introduced in 2018, this machine is designed for heavy-duty field operations, utilizing a track-based drive system to optimize soil traction and weight distribution.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an AGCO Power 7-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine with a displacement of 9.8 liters. It produces a rated gross power of 374 hp (278.9 kW) at an operating speed of 1700 RPM. The engine features a liquid-cooling system and a bore/stroke ratio of 111 x 145 mm, engineered for consistent performance under high-load agricultural conditions.
Transmission and Drive
Equipped with the Accu-VT transmission, the MT738 utilizes an infinitely-variable system that allows for seamless speed transitions in both forward and reverse directions. This transmission technology optimizes power delivery and fuel efficiency by maintaining the engine in its ideal power band regardless of ground speed. The machine features a crawler drive system, which provides enhanced stability and reduced soil compaction compared to conventional wheeled tractors.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a load-sensing type, designed to provide flow on demand. It features a standard pump flow of 58 gpm (219.5 lpm), which can be increased to 116 gpm (439.1 lpm) with the optional dual pump configuration. The system supports 4 to 6 valves for implement control. At the rear, the tractor is equipped with a Category III/IVN hitch capable of lifting up to 19,000 lbs (8,618 kg), accommodating heavy implements.
Design and Comfort
With an operating weight of 33,443 lbs (15,169 kg), the MT738 is built for high-draft applications. The operator environment includes a standard cab equipped with air conditioning to ensure comfort during extended work intervals. The electrical system utilizes a negative ground and is supported by an alternator-based charging circuit.
Conclusion
The Challenger MT738 is a high-capacity crawler tractor engineered for professional agricultural environments. Its combination of a high-torque 7-cylinder engine, infinitely-variable transmission, and robust hydraulic capacity makes it suitable for demanding tasks such as deep primary tillage and heavy pulling operations.
