Innovative Challenger tractors. Review of models and video work

In certain situations, tracked vehicles are preferable to wheeled ones, allowing for more careful handling of soils during agricultural work. The ability to use wide implements for harrowing, cultivating, etc., combined with low maintenance costs, makes it indispensable. Challenger tractors, being high-performance, powerful equipment, fully confirm this.

Challenger tractor crawler and wheeled Challenger MT685D

Challenger tractors on wheels and caterpillar tracks are designed to perform mainly agricultural work with a heavy load, in conditions of difficult terrain, loose soils, in large areas of land cultivation, as well as in road construction (see Vogele asphalt paver), in logging, in reclamation.
Special equipment is equipped with additional trailed, removable, mounted units for harrowing, cultivating, plowing, sowing, loosening, and moving other machines.

The quality and constant improvement of developed designs, the use of new materials for manufacturing and technologies, fuel economy and maintenance costs, reliability and variety of Challenger models are serious reasons for the constant interest of individuals and large agricultural holdings in these machines. Just like in Bühler tractors.

Challenger Caterpillar Service

Challender tractors are super modern equipment, developed using the latest technologies and working with the help of intelligent systems. Therefore, it requires close attention and careful attitude. Maintenance must be carried out according to schedule with strict accuracy. The operator must be suitably qualified to operate this miniature spacecraft.

Systems monitor the work. It is enough to configure everything once and subsequent actions will be performed automatically. Special requirements apply to fuels and oils. Only high-quality materials should be used.

A little about the manufacturer

The birth of the Challenger occurred more than 200 years ago, when a steam engine was first used on a tractor. But the company got its name only in the late 90s of the 20th century after the invention of a powerful tracked tractor with high speed characteristics, which was called the “Caterpillar Challenger”.

And since those days, Challenger has become a celebrity in the field of agricultural machinery production, creating its own models that can answer the requests and needs of small agricultural farms and serious agricultural companies.

Now the machines are developed and manufactured by the largest American company AGCO , a manufacturer of construction and agricultural equipment.

MTZ-80 tractors are made in Russia, but are not inferior to competitors.

Popular models

All Challenger tractor models have the ability to:

• quick replacement of additional equipment;
• operation at increased speed and the ability to operate at extremely low speeds;
• the use of standardized connection devices for different models and mounted units;
• maintenance and quick repairs at the work site in the field.

To implement these capabilities, the design of the machines involves the use of:

• powerful engines with increased speed;
• continuously variable transmission with the possibility of smooth regulation ;
• possibility of installing a speed reducer;
• suspension with a spring system;
• unified rear design for mounting additional devices.
• turbochargers for cooling.

Wheeled vehicles

The series of popular MT600C and MT600D tractors on wheels are distinguished by increased power, a modernized frame design, and high performance characteristics.

The advantages of this model range are as follows:

• powerful high-performance Agco Sisu Power engines with an advanced automated EEM control system; The combination of EEM with the fuel system increased the power of the machines and saved fuel costs . As a result, the engine responds quickly and accurately to changes in the position of the accelerator pedal.
• comfortable ergonomic cabin with a high level of noise insulation;
• a continuously variable transmission with a continuously variable function allows you to operate the machine at different combinations of travel speed and engine speed. At the same time, the engine, maintaining the minimum required speed, ensures economical operation and high efficiency.
• choice of up to 4 speeds; one-touch cruise control function;
• no switching, delays or interruption of the power channel from “creeping” to transport mode;
• integrated front linkage (ILS);
• easy-to-use, ergonomic operating controls with a well-thought-out layout;
• digital information screens;
• kit for connecting an easy-to-use and inexpensive telemetry system AGCOMMAND for remote monitoring, storing a large amount of information that is viewed in real time;
• additional alternative control modes: pedal mode, harvesting mode, power control.

Specifics of the Challenger tractor operation in the video.

Pedal mode. To switch to auto control mode from the accelerator pedal, move the switch on the Control Center, located on the seat armrest, to another position. The speed and gearbox are automatically adjusted to provide the desired speed.

The harvesting mode allows the operator to maintain a certain speed, and use the gas pedal to regulate the speed of movement.

Power control mode allows the engine and gearbox to “autonomously” find the correct settings for a specific operation.

Adjusting to the required power, the rotation speed changes automatically. Thanks to this, the fuel consumption is reduced, the noise level is reduced, and the service life of the engine itself is increased. Convenience and comfort for the driver - without the need to independently adjust the rotation speed and speed mode - makes it possible to concentrate on working operations.

The most popular models from this series are MT685C and MT685D with a power of 340 and 380 horsepower, respectively.

The progressive Challenger tractor MT 685 is one of the largest and strongest machines of a classic design , which has incorporated new developments into its design that have reduced fuel consumption and reduced the toxicity of exhaust gases to minimum values.

Features of operation and maintenance

Challenger tractors are a new generation of equipment. This status requires special training during operation and maintenance.

With appropriate qualifications, the operator can only skillfully switch different modes, promptly change the parameters of work operations and observe the operation of the smart machine.

• In harvesting mode, the set speed is maintained
• Installation in power control mode gives the tractor the ability to independently determine the optimal settings
• The control module controls fuel consumption, regardless of rotation speed
• By pressing a single switch, any complex turn is automatically performed, which can be quite difficult to perform with conventional equipment.
• Thanks to the high hydraulic power, aggregation with the most powerful attachments is possible
• For tracked models, there is a choice of three types of tracks: for general agricultural work, with small grooves, for extreme conditions
• Optionally xenon headlights are installed on Challenger tractors
• The GPS system allows you to take full advantage of all the benefits of precision agriculture

Due to the high structural and technological complexity of the machines, their maintenance requires highly qualified personnel.

Challenger tractors are extremely demanding in terms of maintenance, quality of fuel, oil, and lubricants.

Special knowledge is required when operating and repairing on-board equipment and intelligent systems.

The cost of Challenger tractors produced in 2013-2015, depending on the modification and internal filling, ranges from 270,000-280,000 €.

Perhaps the high cost is the only drawback of the machines, but for real professionals this is not an obstacle.

Description

Designed to work in conjunction with mounted, semi-mounted and trailed machines and implements on farms, in fields, for harvesting all types of crops.

Mobil-trac chassis, track width and track.

The Mobil-trac system combines the speed, agility and versatility of rubber tires with the benefits of a crawler track - good traction, high flotation, smooth ride and low ground pressure. The original Opti-Ride suspension system guarantees a smooth ride both in the field and on the road. The design uses Marsh Mellow springs, which separate the “hard crossbar” from the frame that connects the Mobil-trac system to the chassis. The front axle can tilt up to 8°, allowing each track to rise independently up to 150mm at its centre. The middle wheels of each of the tracks can also be hung without support. The MT800B model has two pairs of rotating carriages. Standard track size is 2286 – 3251 m.

Any of the models takes up less than 3 m in width in operation and during transportation.

Intellitronics electronic control system and tractor control center.

The control center is mounted to the driver's right on a console that rotates with the seat for ease of access. The control center includes the monitor and all controls for the transmission, hydraulic system, hitch and power take-off. The online tension control system shows the pressure applied to each belt:

• the upper limit has been reduced, which allows you to warn of possible belt damage due to excessive load;
• a new lower limit has been set, which makes it possible to avoid belt sagging;
