Challenger MT285B

Last Updated: September 2024

Overview

The Challenger MT285B is a utility tractor built for tough jobs on the farm. It has a strong 4WD system and power steering, making it easy to handle in various conditions. The tractor uses a hydrostatic transmission with 8 forward and 8 reverse gears, giving the driver good control over speed and power.

Under the hood, the MT285B has a 4-cylinder Iseki diesel engine. This engine is naturally aspirated and liquid-cooled, producing 47.5 hp at 2600 rpm. While its 134.1 ci displacement is below average for its class, the engine's high rpm rating suggests it can work efficiently. The tractor's 3-point hitch at the rear can lift up to 3086 lb, which is very good for its size. It also has an open center hydraulic system, useful for running attachments. At 3660 lb, the MT285B is lighter than many similar tractors, potentially making it more fuel-efficient and easier on the soil.
