CHALLENGER MT535D TIRES
The Challenger MT535D tractor's standard tire setup (Front: 380/85R28, Rear: 460/85R38) provides optimal traction and stability, particularly in row crop applications. The wide rear tires enhance flotation and reduce soil compaction, making it suitable for diverse soil types. However, the larger tire dimensions may pose challenges in tight spaces or narrow row conditions; careful navigation is recommended during field operations.
