A new power standard

AGCO presents a new generation of tractors, the series MT500D Challenges, on the Russian market.

The Challenger MT500D, MT565D and MT585D tractors powered by AGCO Power engines (185 and 220 hp) set a new standard of power and economical efficiency. Fitted with the third generation CommonRail fuel system, the new engines feature higher efficiency and better response, which assures maximum power at reduced fuel consumption. They comply with the Tier 2 environmental requirements and regulations operative in the Eastern European countries. The 6.6 litre AGCO Power engines on the MT565D model and 7.4 litre engine on MT585D ensure maximum operating range. Thus, the speed of the tractor movement remains unchanged no matter what it does, ploughs, cultivates or sows. The power amplification system, which electronically controls the engine and transmission, automatically adjusts the amount of energy transmitted to the wheels and power take-off shaft. Such an arrangement makes the machines highly productive on the field and in transportation. The power is adjusted automatically at a speed of 5 km/h and above.

The MT500D tractors are fitted with increased capacity fuel tanks, 475 l instead of 370 as on previous models.

The new "fifth series" tractors feature an upgraded cabin. The engineers have improved the range of vision from the cabin and enlarged it. The basic component package also includes an air conditioner and a driver seat with pneumatic suspension, which significantly cushions the shocks. 

The MT565D and MT585D tractors are fitted with a new Tractor Management Centre (TMC). This includes a sensor-aided monitor and an instrument panel, previously installed only on the older series machines, a right-hand support with extra functions, a new elbow rest with some controls and a multi-functional joystick. All of this provides greater comfort for the operator, enabling him to fully control all the operations. 

The Challenger MT565D and MT585D tractors are offered to the Russian and Eastern European markets in two versions, the more economical Essential and more functional Efficient for more effective work.
