All Challenger MT500D Series tractors are equipped with Tier 4i-compliant, AGCO POWER engines. With solid, cast-iron construction and a high-pressure, common-rail, fuel-injection system, this durable six-cylinder, turbocharged diesel continues Challenger’s legendary tradition of strength and reliability. • Four valves per cylinder improve intake and exhaust gas flow, and a new injector location in the center of the combustion chamber makes for more complete, efficient combustion.• Cross-flow head design for cooler intake temperatures and a higher energy intake charge.• Single-side servicing gets you into the field quicker and simplifies maintenance.• A large, viscous drive fan operates only when needed, saving fuel and horsepower.• Narrow, in-line design improves forward visibility and allows a short turning radius.powER boost foR AutopowER vIOn models with AutoPower VI, a sophisticated interaction between the engine and transmission management system enables a significant power and torque “boost” when third or fourth gear are selected, or when the PTO is engaged.ELECtRoNIC ENGINE CoNtRoL (EEC) systEm• Full-authority electronic engine control standard on all models, providing full machine integration, engine history and system protection. • Works with electronic fuel-injection system to provide quick, precise response to throttle movement. • EEC system constantly communicates with transmission to help maintain consistent travel and engine speed.CompLIANCE wItHout CompRomIsEWith e3 SCR technology, these tractors offer the most farmer-friendly approach to meeting EPA standards, with no trade-offs in power, productivity or operating cost. • Uncompromised horsepower and torque• Significantly improved fuel economy• Cooler-running engines for high efficiency and low maintenance• No increase in priceYour tractor isn’t just a piece of equipment.

You can pre-set forward and reverse starting speeds, and electronically adjust shuttle modulation sensitivity.pRovEN AutopowER vI pERfoRmANCEThe AutoPower VI offers six powershift ratios that can be shifted under full load within four electro-hydraulically selected ranges. That’s 24 speeds in both forward and reverse. The operator can manually change both the AutoPower ratio and gearbox range under load, without using the clutch. For AutoPower ratio changes, simply move the T-handle forward or back to make pulse or sequential shifts. (AutoPower ratios can also be changed with the power control lever). For easy range changes, just hit the button on the control handle while moving the lever forward or backward. This allows for easy progression from minimum to maximum speed and quickly finds the optimum balance of engine and travel speed.NEw pRoGRAmmAbLE CRuIsE spEEdsTwo new programmable gear and range selections allow an operator to reach the desired speed and performance with the touch of a button. muLtI-modE AutomAtIC sHIftINGThe AutoPower VI incorporates a rotary-dial autodrive controller to provide automatic shifting in several modes:Manual — Manual shifting with back-up for over-speed protection.Speed Matching — Automatically selects the appropriate AutoPower ratio after a manual range change.Autodrive — At selected engine speeds between 1,600 and 2,200 rpm, controls the upshift and downshift points at which the transmission automatically selects the next AutoPower ratio. Shifts are electronically actuated in response to both engine speed and load, providing full power and torque control, as well as engine braking. In “Road” mode, transmission changes both the AutoPower ratio and gear range. In “Field” mode, only the AutoPower ratio is changed automatically.With two highly efficient, award-winning transmissions from which to choose, you’re sure to get the most advanced combination of ergonomics and simplicity. Of course, you wouldn’t settle for anything less.any challenge. anyWhere. any time.AutopowER vItrAnSMiSSion – tEchStAr cvtPGS 8/9Simplicity and performance are at the heart of the TechStar CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). With over 100,000 AGCO CVT transmissions currently in use worldwide, you can rest assured the toughest jobs will always get done.INfINItE spEEd CoNtRoLWith Infinite Speed Control, you can access power reserves and speed choices normally hidden in the speed ranges between gears. So you control precise ground, engine and/or PTO speeds.sImpLy EffoRtLEssJust move the control lever in the desired travel direction and select the right speed for the job. No shifting, jerking or delay in traction or power, just infinite control from creep to transport. Plus, you can shift to pedal mode to free your hands for other functions. AutomAtIC vERsIoNs of pEdAL modEPower ModeProvides stepless characteristics while putting the priority on engine speed and power. Handles heavy tillage or hauling loads – over varying terrain – without concern for engine lug-down.Economy ModeRatio changes are made at lower engine speeds, for improved economy in light-duty applications.Forager ModeMaintain a specified engine speed, while using the foot pedal to control ground speed. Ideal for loader work, baling or forage harvesting requiring a constant engine speed. Working with the TechStar CVT, the Engine Supervisor automatically maintains travel speeds by adjusting the transmission ratio any time engine speed is reduced. Power Management (PM)An industry-exclusive, PM allows engine and transmission to work together to maintain the most efficient setting based on engine load. Your tractor runs at the most efficient RPM, and varies the RPM to meet draft loads.Two Speed RangesTwo continually variable speed ranges provide stepless field speed selections from 0-17 mph (0-28 kph) and transport speeds from 0-25 mph (0-40 kph) with the standard front axle, and 0-32 mph (0-50 kph) with the optional front-axle suspension system.Pre-Set Speed ControlsTechStar CVT provides two field cruise speeds in each of the two speed ranges.a transmission that QuicKly shiFts From tough JoB to tougher JoB tECHstAR CvtThe redesigned Challenger MT500D Series cab is perhaps the largest, roomiest, quietest and most technologically evolved cab on the planet.

Alerts can also be set to notify your dealer for faster service response time.AGCO’s AGCOMMAND system is a leading-edge data recording tool that helps users optimize fleet performance, monitor operating costs and generate reports.How AGCommANd woRksThe AGCOMMAND system collects GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) satellite location and machine performance data every 60 seconds in the Standard Plus package and every 10 seconds in the Advanced package. This allows users to see where machines are, where they have been and the data collected at each interval.dAtA CoLLECtIoNMachine performance data is collected from the vehicle’s CAN Bus.

Access to the stored data is obtained by logging into a secure and easy-to-use website.GEo-fENCING ANd LoGIstICsGeo-fences, or virtual GPS boundaries, can be created to track when machines enter or exit designated areas. Tracking logistics enables the user to anticipate routine tasks like refueling. To help reduce downtime, the system plots a machine’s exact position on the map so it can be quickly located.INtERNAL mEmoRyIf a machine leaves a GPRS coverage area, the onboard module will record its location and performance data for up to 50 hours and transfer the information once the machine reenters a coverage area.EffICIENCyManagers using AGCOMMAND can monitor multiple fleets from off-site locations.
