View Full Test Data →

Overview

The Challenger MT545D is a row-crop farm tractor manufactured by AGCO in Beauvais, France, between 2013 and 2014. It is powered by an AGCO Power 6.6L six-cylinder turbocharged intercooled diesel engine and was available with either a TechStar CVT or an AutoPower VI 24-speed power shift transmission.

Ideal Applications

Engine and Emissions Configuration: The unit features an electronic high pressure common rail fuel system and utilizes selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to meet Interim Tier IV emissions standards.

Tested Mechanical Performance: Nebraska Tractor Test data recorded a maximum PTO performance of 152.1 hp and a maximum drawbar pull of 15,085 lbs for the diesel CVT 4WD configuration.

Hydraulic and Hitch Specifications: Equipped with a closed center load sensing (CCLS) hydraulic system delivering 29 gpm at 2900 psi, the tractor includes electronic lower link draft control and a Category III/II rear hitch.
