ENGINE DETAIL

The Challenger MT875B, equipped with a Caterpillar C18 turbocharged diesel, delivers high power output at 570hp, making it ideal for demanding agricultural applications. Its large displacement of 18.1L and high compression ratio of 16.5:1 contribute to efficient fuel combustion and torque generation, though the Tier III emissions compliance may limit operational capabilities in stricter environments. The dual paper air cleaner enhances engine longevity by ensuring optimal air quality, presenting an advantage in dusty conditions, but users must frequently maintain the filters to sustain performance.
