Last Updated: September 2024

Overview

The Challenger MT851 is a powerful agricultural tractor built for heavy-duty farm work. It's a crawler tractor, which means it uses tracks instead of wheels. This helps it move better on soft or muddy ground. The MT851 has a special transmission that lets it change speeds smoothly without shifting gears.

Under the hood, the MT851 has a strong MAN D3876 diesel engine. This engine has 6 cylinders and is turbocharged, which means it can produce a lot of power. It can put out 504.2 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful tractors in its class. The engine is liquid-cooled to keep it running smoothly even during long, hot workdays. The tractor is big, measuring 266 inches long, 116.1 inches wide, and 148 inches tall. It's also heavy, weighing 42,000 pounds, which helps it stay stable while working tough fields.
