View Full Test Data →

Overview

The Challenger MT535E is a row-crop farm tractor manufactured in Jackson, Minnesota, between 2015 and 2020, featuring a 6.6L AGCO Power 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It is equipped with a Tier IV emission control system using selective catalytic reduction and was available with either an AutoPower VI 24-speed power shift or a TechStar continuously-variable transmission. The tractor includes a standard air-conditioned cab with Auto-Guide 3000 and a 4WD drivetrain with electro-hydraulic differential locks.

Ideal Applications

Tested PTO and Drawbar Performance: According to Nebraska Tractor Test data, the MT535E reached a maximum of 150.2 PTO hp and a maximum drawbar pull of 13,625 lbs while equipped with the AutoPower VI transmission.

Hitch and Hydraulic Configuration: The tractor is equipped with Category II hitches at both the front and rear, providing lift capacities of 6,200 lbs and 8,900 lbs respectively, supported by a 2,900 psi closed-center load sensing hydraulic system.

Engine and Fluid Capacities: The 402 ci diesel engine is supported by an 80-gallon fuel tank and an 8-gallon diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank, with a 15.9-gallon hydraulic system capacity.
