Introduction
Challenger MT875B Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Challenger MT875B is a high-horsepower agricultural crawler tractor manufactured by AGCO in Jackson, Minnesota. Produced between 2005 and 2008, this machine is engineered for heavy-duty field operations requiring significant traction and power.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Caterpillar C18 liquid-cooled, inline 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. With a displacement of 1105 cubic inches (18.1 L) and a compression ratio of 16.5:1, it delivers 570 gross horsepower (425.0 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. The engine complies with Tier III emission standards and utilizes a dual paper element air cleaner for filtration.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The MT875B utilizes a Cat Powershift transmission, providing 16 forward and 4 reverse gears. This full power shift system allows for seamless gear changes under load, which is essential for heavy draft applications. The machine features a crawler drive system with 27.5-inch tracks, designed to distribute its 42,200 lbs (19,141 kg) weight efficiently across the soil surface.
Hydraulics and Cab
The hydraulic system is a closed-center PFC (Pressure and Flow Compensating) type, operating at a pressure of 2900 psi (200.0 bar). It provides a total flow rate of 43.5 gpm (164.6 lpm) to support between 4 and 6 rear valves. The operator environment includes a standard cab equipped with air conditioning to maintain productivity during extended operating hours.
Electrical System
The electrical architecture is built on a 12-volt system. It utilizes four batteries with a cold cranking amp (CCA) rating of 1000 each. The charging system provides up to 185 amps, and the tractor is configured with a negative ground polarity.
Conclusion
The Challenger MT875B is a specialized crawler tractor designed for large-scale agricultural operations. Its combination of high-torque engine output, powershift transmission, and hydraulic capacity makes it suitable for demanding tasks such as deep tillage and heavy-duty primary cultivation.
