The Claas Challenger 65E is a powerful agricultural tractor built for tough jobs. It's a crawler tractor, which means it uses tracks instead of wheels.

It's turbocharged and diesel-powered, giving it lots of pulling power.

This tractor is big and heavy, weighing 34,195 pounds. It has a full power shift transmission with 10 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. This makes it easy to change speeds while working. The Challenger 65E uses hydrostatic differential steering, which helps it turn smoothly. It has a closed hydraulic system and can use both category III and IV hitches on the back. The engine is liquid-cooled and has a coolant capacity of 60 quarts to keep it running smoothly in hot weather.
