View Full Test Data →

Overview

The Challenger MT565D is a row-crop farm tractor manufactured in Beauvais, France, between 2012 and 2014, featuring an AGCO Power 6.6L 6-cylinder diesel engine. This model provides 180 hp of rated power and was offered with either the 24-speed AutoPower VI power shift or the TechStar CVT transmission.

Ideal Applications

Tested Power Output: The tractor demonstrated a maximum PTO performance of 183.2 hp and a maximum drawbar pull of 16,995 lbs during OECD and Nebraska tractor testing.

Mechanical Configuration: This four-wheel drive unit is equipped with a closed center load sensing hydraulic system providing a total flow of 29 gpm and an electronic lower link draft control hitch with a 12,500 lb lift capacity.

Engine and Emissions Technology: The liquid-cooled, turbocharged intercooled engine utilizes electronic high pressure common rail fuel delivery and selective catalytic reduction to meet Interim Tier IV emissions standards.
