ENGINE DETAIL
The Challenger MT455E tractor features a robust AGCO Power 4-cylinder diesel engine with a turbocharger, delivering maximum power of 120 hp at 2100 RPM, which is optimal for demanding agricultural tasks. Its selective catalytic reduction system ensures compliance with Tier IV emissions standards, enhancing environmental sustainability while maintaining high torque output of 510 lb-ft at 1600 RPM—ideal for heavy-duty pulling applications. However, operators may face challenges related to maintenance of the high-pressure common rail fuel system, though it offers improved fuel efficiency and performance.
