Overview

The Challenger MT555D is a row-crop farm tractor manufactured in Beauvais, France, between 2012 and 2014. It is powered by a 6.6L AGCO Power six-cylinder diesel engine featuring SCR technology and an Interim Tier IV emissions rating. The tractor is equipped with four-wheel drive and was produced with either a 24-speed AutoPower VI or a TechStar CVT transmission.

Ideal Applications

Tested Power and Pull Performance: In standardized testing, the MT555D achieved a maximum PTO power of 173.3 hp and a maximum pull of 16,860 lbs.

Transmission and Drive Configuration: The mechanical system utilizes inboard planetary final drives and offers a choice between a 24-forward/reverse power shift or an infinite forward/reverse continuously variable transmission.

Hydraulic and Hitch Capacity: The closed center load sensing hydraulic system provides a total flow of 29 gpm at 2,900 psi, supporting a Category III rear hitch with a lift capacity of 12,500 lbs.
