Challenger MT297

The Challenger MT297 is a utility tractor built for versatile farm work. It has a 4WD drive system and power steering, making it easy to handle in various conditions. The tractor uses a mechanical shuttle transmission with 12 forward and 12 reverse gears, giving the driver plenty of options for different tasks.

Under the hood, the MT297 has an Iseki diesel engine with 4 cylinders. The engine is liquid-cooled and naturally aspirated, producing 55.3 hp at 2500 rpm. This power output is average for its class, while the engine displacement is slightly below average. The tractor's 3-point hitch can lift up to 2600 lb, which is quite high compared to similar models. It has standard agricultural tires and an open center hydraulic system. The operator station features a ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) for safety. At 3878 lb, the MT297 is lighter than many tractors in its category, which could make it more fuel-efficient and easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
