The new generation of MT500D, MT565D and MT585D tractors gives Ukrainian farmers access to the latest technology used in this equipment line-up. Fitted with 185 hp and 220 hp AGCO Power engines respectively, these machines represent a new benchmark for power and fuel economy.
The new engines, with their third-generation CommonRail fuel system, deliver greater efficiency and better responsiveness, providing maximum power at reduced fuel consumption. They meet the requirements and standards of the Tier 2 emissions standard used across Eastern Europe.
The 6.6-litre AGCO Power engine on the MT565D and the 7.4-litre engine on the MT585D deliver high power and torque, ensuring a maximum working range. This means that, regardless of the tractor’s task – ploughing, cultivation, sowing or transport work – its travel speed stays the same. The power-boost system, which electronically controls the engine and transmission, automatically adjusts the amount of power delivered to the wheels and PTO, ensuring high implement productivity during both field and transport work. Power adjustment operates automatically at travel speeds of 5 km/h and above, and also when the PTO is engaged.
What’s more, the new MT500D series tractors come fitted with larger-capacity fuel tanks (475 l versus 370 l on previous models). This significantly reduces refuelling frequency and streamlines the work process.
Another distinctive feature of the new Challenger tractor models is the updated cab design. Engineers improved visibility and increased interior space, making the operator’s working conditions even more comfortable. The base equipment package also now includes air conditioning and an air-suspended driver’s seat, significantly reducing shock loads – which in turn reduces operator fatigue and boosts productivity by letting them focus on the task at hand.
Challenger MT565D and MT585D tractors are fitted with a new control system (TMC Tractor Management Center). This includes a touchscreen monitor and instrument panel, previously only fitted on the senior MT600D series, as well as a right-hand console with additional functions, a new armrest with controls, and a multifunction joystick. All of this guarantees an even higher level of comfort for the machine operator, letting them fully control every work process
