ENGINE DETAIL
The Challenger MT955E features a robust AGCO Power turbocharged 12-cylinder engine with a Displacement of 16.8L, offering exceptional power output of 500hp (maximum power at 536hp) while meeting Tier IV emissions via selective catalytic reduction. With a formidable torque rating of 1740 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, this tractor excels in heavy-duty applications, making it ideal for large-scale farming operations where high efficiency and power are mandatory. However, the complexity of its emission control system requires careful monitoring and maintenance, which may increase operational costs and downtime if not managed properly.

CHALLENGER MT955E ENGINE
The Challenger MT955E is powered by a robust AGCO Power 16.8L 12-cylinder diesel engine, providing exceptional torque and efficiency for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its substantial 400-gallon fuel tank offers extended operational time in the field, though it may require more frequent refueling at smaller farms. The integration of a 52-gallon DEF tank enhances emissions compliance, but operators must manage both fluids to maintain performance and meet environmental regulations.

CHALLENGER MT955E TIRES
The Challenger MT955E is equipped with standard ag tires (710/70R42 front and rear), providing optimal traction and stability for heavy-duty fieldwork, particularly on soft or uneven terrain. However, the wide tire profile may cause soil compaction, which can negatively impact crop yields. Ideal scenarios for this tire setup include tasks requiring significant horsepower and flotation, such as tillage or planting in wet conditions.
