Challenger MT – the tracked tractors from Jackson, Minnesota: MT 755C to MT 855C with six-cylinder diesel, 232 to 298 kW, rubber-track undercarriage and up to 20.4 tonnes gross weight
Challenger is the tracked-tractor brand AGCO took over from Caterpillar in 2002, together with the plant in Jackson, Minnesota, where the MT range has been built ever since. The MT type designation stands for Mobile Track, the following number for the power class, C for a revised equipment generation, E for an earlier version; the rubber-track undercarriage, originally developed by Caterpillar for the Challenger, spreads the big tractors' high weight over a wide footprint, sparing the soil compared with wheeled tractors of equal power. The range's engines originally came from Caterpillar, increasingly from AGCO Power with the move to AGCO.

The register lists here 5 versions with 232 to 298 kW from six-cylinders of 8,804 to 9,800 cm³, unladen weights from 12,873 to 17,900 kg, gross weights from 12,873 to 20,400 kg, lengths from 5,888 to 5,993 mm and widths from 2,700 to 2,980 mm.
The MT tracked tractors, together with the wheeled Case IH Steiger and John Deere 9RX, form the top class of North American big arable tractors for operations with very large fields and high drawbar demand, for instance in deep tillage and heavy cultivating.
On used Challenger tracked tractors, condition of the rubber tracks and rollers counts – the most expensive wear item – drive wheels and the tensioning system, engine and transmission condition, and the history of the hydraulic pumps; spare parts and service run through the AGCO network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
