ENGINE DETAIL
The Challenger MT515D is equipped with a robust AGCO Power 6-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine, generating 130 hp (96.9 kW) and featuring an Interim Tier IV emission standard managed through selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The 402.5 ci (6.6L) engine with a bore/stroke ratio of 4.252x4.724 inches ensures efficient power delivery, but the dual-stage dry air cleaner necessitates regular maintenance for optimal performance. A notable advantage is the electronic high-pressure common rail fuel system, enhancing fuel efficiency and responsiveness, making it well-suited for varied agricultural tasks.

CHALLENGER MT515D TIRES
The Challenger MT515D features standard agricultural tires sized 380/85R28 at the front and 460/85R38 at the rear, providing good soil traction and stability for varied field conditions. The tire dimensions contribute to optimal floatation, reducing soil compaction, which is advantageous in crop establishment. However, the potential challenge lies in the compatibility with certain implements; operators must ensure that equipment matches the tractor's tire clearance for effective operation in tighter spaces or hilly terrain.
