CHALLENGER MT275 ENGINE
The Challenger MT275, powered by a 1.5L 3-cylinder Iseki diesel engine, offers a compact design suitable for tight maneuvers on small farms or orchards, improving operational efficiency. However, its smaller displacement may limit power output compared to larger tractors, presenting a challenge for heavy-duty applications. Overall, it’s ideal for medium-duty tasks like cultivation and mowing but may struggle with demanding heavy loads or steep terrains.

TRANSMISSION
The Challenger MT275 features a mechanical shuttle transmission, offering direct engagement for smooth forward and reverse transitions, beneficial for applications requiring quick directional changes. With 8 forward and reverse gears, the tractor provides versatility in speed management for various field activities, although the reliance on a dry disc clutch may necessitate more frequent maintenance under heavy loads. Ideal for tasks like tilling or hauling, the gear selection allows operators to optimize engine performance according to specific job requirements.
