CHALLENGER MT575B TIRES
The Challenger MT575B tractor offers versatility in configuration, with 2WD and 4WD options allowing for tailored performance based on terrain needs. The 2WD setup utilizes standard agricultural tires (front: 11.00-16; rear: 18.4R42) for lighter tasks, efficient fuel consumption, and reduced soil compaction, while the 4WD configuration enhances traction and stability (front: 16.9R28; rear: 18.4R42), making it ideal for challenging conditions or heavy draft work. However, 2WD may struggle in hilly or wet environments compared to the enhanced grip of the 4WD variant.
