ENGINE DETAIL
The Challenger MT865E tractor is powered by a robust AGCO Power 12-cylinder diesel engine, delivering a gross output of 540 hp and an impressive maximum power of 583 hp. Its torque peak at 1,917 lb-ft at 1,500 RPM ensures high-performance capabilities for demanding tasks such as plowing and hauling heavy loads, making it suitable for large-scale agricultural operations. However, while its Tier IV emissions compliance via selective catalytic reduction (SCR) enhances environmental standards, it may require additional maintenance for the SCR system, potentially increasing operational complexity.
