Tractor optimizes performance on tracks with new centerline design
The Challenger® MT700 Series tractors from Caterpillar® are designed to optimize tractor performance on tracks. This third generation of agricultural tractors - internally known as Gen III behind the first-generation tillage tractors introduced in 1986 and the second-generation rowcrop tractors introduced in 1994 - feature a nearly 51 percent update in design content from its predecessor, and a 95 percent change in components. Under development for nearly four years, the Challenger MT700 Series tractor line represents the performance benefits of modern- day wheel and track tractors packaged in a new centerline design. The tractor line's numbering system - the MT700 series - retains the initials from the Mobil-tracT system, introduced on the original Challenger 65 in 1986. This system paired the mobility of wheels with the tractive and flotation advantages of steel tracks. It also overcame the steel-track tractor's inability to move over paved roads.
