Introducing the Challenger MT800 Series: We take an in-depth look
The MT800 Series inherits the advanced architecture of the Challenger MT700 Series, renowned as the most technologically advanced tractor available today. This series is engineered with all the capabilities for which Challenger is known, enhanced by an innovative suite of onboard intelligence upgrades. These upgrades boost productivity and improve decision-making for your operation. The MT800 Series is designed with a focus on you and your business.
Not Just Engineering: AccuEngineering
Challenger’s AccuEngineering platform leverages superior design to deliver smarter, more intuitive, and more efficient machinery. This platform meets the growing needs of our customers, from the controls in the cab to the AccuDrive powertrain to the AccuTerminal. AccuEngineering provides more efficiency, increased productivity, and reduced costs, setting a new standard of excellence for track tractors.
Uncompromising Excellence
The MT800 further enhances Challenger’s longstanding reputation for excellence. This tractor is technologically advanced, relentlessly dependable, and comfortably easy to operate. It provides a solid, reliable return on investment while minimizing downtime.
Efficiency and Performance
The internally developed single-range AccuDrive powertrain maximizes efficiency and simplifies operation. The low-engine-speed concept allows for greater low-end torque at lower engine RPMs, enabling more acres to be covered with less fuel. The Mobil-trac system's large footprint reduces compaction and maintains track-to-ground contact, allowing for higher speeds with reduced fuel expense, leading to a greater ROI.
Enhanced Comfort and Ride Quality
A redesigned primary suspension and cab interior increase ride comfort over long operating hours. The advanced design, including a dual coil spring and heavy-duty shock absorbers, allows for increased oscillation of the hard bar. The two-point cab suspension system ensures movement, vibrations, or bumps are dampened, providing an unmatched ride quality.
Powerful and Fuel-Efficient Engine
An incredibly smooth, quiet, high-torque-at-low-engine speed MAN power plant drives more power to the ground. With an RPM band ranging from 1,000 to 1,700 engine RPMs and peak torque achieved from 1,000 RPMs, the 15.2L MAN engine (MT851, MT856, MT862) or the 16.2L MAN engine (MT867) offers an exceptionally smooth and quiet operating experience, along with significant torque and fuel savings.
Superior Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system is fully dedicated to the implements it powers. The optional dual-pump, dual-circuit system provides up to 116 GPM of hydraulic oil flow, designed to handle the largest air seeders and planters.
Enhanced Traction and Ride
The new MT800 Series offers an unparalleled ride experience. The Mobil-trac system with midwheel and track-to-track oscillation enhances traction and reduces slip. The suspension system, including dual coil springs and heavy-duty shock absorbers, further improves the ride quality. The two-point cab suspension system minimises movement, vibrations, or bumps.
Superior Power and Transmission
The MT800 Series is powered by a super-quiet MAN engine that delivers fuel-efficient, high-torque performance. The AccuDrive CVT transmission efficiently transfers power to the ground, minimizing slip. A hydraulically driven fan provides on-demand cooling power, enhancing performance, reducing engine noise, and lowering fuel costs.
Industry-First CVT Transmission
The new power player in the Challenger MT800 Series is a step-less AccuDrive CVT, the industry's first CVT in a tractor with this level of horsepower. The AccuDrive CVT transmission allows for no range changes, optimizes engine power, and maximizes fuel efficiency. The MAN engine and CVT transmission work together to regulate and optimize engine speed, providing the required power for any task.
Hydraulic System
The MT800 Series' dedicated hydraulic system can handle any implement. Multiple hydraulic options ensure efficient operation. The unique dual-pump, dual-circuit, load-sensing hydraulic system can independently control both hydraulic pumps, meeting the needs of even the largest implements.
Three-Point Hitch System
For three-point-hitch-equipped tractors, the hitch system offers standard or high-lift capacities with fixed offset, offset, and float mode, giving the operator total control. With 12 degrees of movement in the hitch and 11.5 degrees of swing with the drawbar, the MT800 Series steers effortlessly around contours and field obstacles.
Advanced Cab Design
Enjoy the view, comfort, and fingertip control from the air-suspended seat. The AccuTerminal provides immediate access to all tractor, implement, and technology controls. The multi-function armrest, colour-coordinated operating controls, and multi-function joystick enhance the operator experience. The cab is designed to be one with its operator, featuring a cab suspension and airtight door enclosure for improved comfort and efficiency.
