Introduction
Challenger MT845C Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Challenger MT845C is a high-horsepower agricultural crawler tractor produced between 2009 and 2013. Manufactured in Jackson, Minnesota, USA, this machine is engineered for heavy-duty field operations, utilizing a tracked drive system to optimize traction and minimize soil compaction.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder, 24-valve turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine with a displacement of 15.1 liters (923 ci). It produces a gross power output of 440 hp at a rated engine speed of 2100 RPM. The engine employs a mechanical electric unit injector (MEUI) fuel system and complies with Tier III emissions standards.
Transmission and Steering
Power is managed through a Caterpillar Powershift transmission, providing 16 forward and 4 reverse gears with full power shift capabilities. The steering system is speed-sensitive and differential-based, complemented by hydraulic wet disc brakes to ensure precise maneuverability and reliable stopping performance.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system features a closed-center, pressure-flow compensated design. It provides a total flow capacity of 43.5 gpm (164.6 lpm) at a pressure of 2900 psi, with 36 gpm available for selective control valves (SCV). The rear PTO is independent, operating at 1000 RPM with a 1.75-inch shaft.
Dimensions and Chassis
The MT845C has a wheelbase of 118 inches and weighs approximately 41,000 lbs. It is equipped with 30-inch tracks. The rear hitch is categorized as III/IVN, offering a lift capacity of 19,500 lbs to support heavy implements. The operator environment includes a standard cab equipped with air conditioning.
Conclusion
With its significant weight, 440 hp engine, and tracked propulsion, the Challenger MT845C is designed for large-scale primary tillage and heavy pulling tasks where high drawbar pull and traction are essential.
