Introduction
Challenger MT862 Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Challenger MT862 is a high-capacity agricultural crawler tractor engineered for intensive field operations. Part of the Challenger series produced by AGCO, this machine is designed to provide high tractive effort and stability through its integrated track system, suitable for large-scale agricultural environments.
Powertrain and Engine
The tractor is powered by a 15.3-liter (933.7 cubic inches), 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It generates a rated gross power of 610.2 hp (455.0 kW) at 1730 RPM. The engine is characterized by a significant torque output of 2139 lb-ft (2900.5 Nm) peaking at 1450 RPM, which provides the necessary pulling force for heavy-duty implements. Maintenance intervals for engine oil are set at 500 hours.
Transmission and Drive
The MT862 utilizes the Accu-VT continuously variable transmission (CVT), which allows for infinite speed adjustments in both forward and reverse directions without the need for traditional gear shifting. This system is paired with a crawler drive configuration, optimizing ground contact and weight distribution for traction across various soil conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system features a closed-center, pressure-flow compensated design. It provides a standard pump flow of 58.1 gpm (219.9 lpm), with an optional capacity reaching 116.2 gpm (439.8 lpm) at a system pressure of 2900 psi (200.0 bar). The tractor is equipped with an independent rear PTO offering 1000/1000E speed settings, facilitating the operation of power-demanding implements.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
With an operating weight of 42,000 lbs (19,051 kg) and a wheelbase of 118 inches (299 cm), the machine is built for stability during heavy draft work. The operator interface includes a standard cab equipped with an air-conditioning system to ensure environmental control during extended work periods.
Conclusion
The Challenger MT862 is a specialized heavy-duty machine suited for large-scale farming operations that require high horsepower and superior traction. Its combination of a high-torque engine, CVT transmission, and robust hydraulic capacity makes it a reliable asset for primary tillage and large-scale soil preparation tasks.
