Introduction
Challenger MT875E Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Challenger MT875E is a heavy-duty agricultural crawler tractor produced between 2014 and 2020. Manufactured in Jackson, Minnesota, USA, this machine is designed for high-draft applications and large-scale farming operations requiring significant tractive effort.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled 16.8 L AGCO Power 12-cylinder, 48-valve turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers a gross power output of 590 hp (440 kW), with a maximum power rating of 637 hp (475 kW). The engine produces a peak torque of 2095 lb-ft (2840.8 Nm) at 1500 RPM. Emissions are managed via Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, meeting Tier IV standards.
Transmission and Drive System
Equipped with a Caterpillar full power shift transmission, the unit provides 16 forward and 4 reverse gears. The transmission utilizes a hydraulic wet disc clutch for efficient power transfer. The crawler drive system, combined with power differential steering, ensures stability and traction across varied terrain.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The MT875E features a closed-center, pressure-flow compensated hydraulic system. The standard pump flow is 58.1 gpm (219.9 lpm) at 2900 psi, with optional configurations providing up to 85 gpm. The tractor is fitted with 4 to 6 SCVs. The rear hitch assembly includes a Category 4 drawbar and supports Category 5 implements, with a rear lift capacity of 19,500 lbs (8845 kg).
Operator Environment
The tractor comes standard with an enclosed cab featuring air conditioning to maintain operator comfort during extended work intervals. Electrical requirements are met by a 12-volt system using four batteries rated at 1000 CCA each.
Conclusion
With its high-torque engine, robust crawler undercarriage, and heavy-duty hydraulic capacity, the Challenger MT875E is engineered for demanding field tasks such as deep tillage, heavy hauling, and large-scale primary cultivation.
