Introduction
Challenger MT875C Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Challenger MT875C is a heavy-duty tracked agricultural tractor manufactured by AGCO in Jackson, Minnesota. Produced between 2009 and 2013, this machine is engineered for high-draft operations requiring significant tractive effort and stability.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an 18.1-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine. It delivers a gross power output of 585 hp, with a maximum power rating of 631 hp. The engine operates at a rated speed of 2100 RPM and utilizes a mechanical electronic unit injection (MEUI) fuel system to optimize combustion and efficiency.
Transmission and Steering
Power is managed through a Caterpillar Powershift transmission, providing 16 forward and 4 reverse gears. This system allows for full power shifting, which is essential for maintaining momentum under heavy loads. Steering is achieved via a speed-sensitive differential system, ensuring precise control over the track-based drivetrain.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system features a closed-center, pressure-flow compensated design, delivering a total flow of 43.5 gpm at 2900 psi. It supports between 4 and 6 valves to accommodate various implements. Additionally, the tractor is equipped with an independent rear PTO operating at 1000 RPM using a 1.75-inch shaft, providing the necessary power for demanding rear-mounted equipment.
Dimensions and Undercarriage
With a base weight of 42,200 lbs and a wheelbase of 118 inches, the MT875C is designed for heavy-duty field work. It features a 30-inch track system, which provides a large contact area to minimize soil compaction and maximize traction across various ground conditions.
Conclusion
The Challenger MT875C is a high-capacity crawler tractor suited for large-scale agricultural operations. Its robust engine and track-based propulsion system make it well-adapted for heavy primary tillage and intensive land preparation tasks where traction and power delivery are critical.
