ENGINE DETAIL
The Challenger MT835 features a robust Caterpillar C12 turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel engine with a substantial displacement of 11.9L, generating a gross power of 340 hp at a rated RPM of 2100. Its dual paper air cleaning elements enhance air filtration efficiency, which is crucial for maintaining performance in dusty environments. However, the high compression ratio of 16.0:1 may result in increased thermal stress and fuel requirements, potentially affecting maintenance intervals in extreme operating conditions.
