Innovative engineering, greater fuel efficiency, and cleaner emissions make the MT600C Series the most advanced row-crop tractor in the world.

“We’ve listened to our customers talk about what they want in their tractors,” says Jason Hoult, AGCO product-marketing manager for high horsepower tractors. “And then we added bigger, quieter cabs, more advanced engine management, and breakthrough transmission technology. We now deliver a combination of power, comfort, technology and performance that is unmatched in this tractor class.”

Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and Power Management
The most efficient transmission in the industry, the TechStar CVT on the MT600C provides the operator with stepless, infinitely variable control of ground speed up to 32 mph. And the Power Management feature, activated from the cab with the push of a button, automatically coordinates engine speed with the transmission. This allows the tractor to maintain the most productive engine speed and transmission gear in any task and any field condition. The CVT, unlike powershift transmissions, always operates the tractor at the optimal speed and most effective RPM levels.

World-leading engine technology
Powered by the AGCO SISU POWER™ 8.4 L engines, the MT600C Series tractors are addressing EPA emissions standards now and in the future with e3 Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. SCR is the process of reducing nitrous oxide and particulate emissions by injecting diesel emissions fluid (DEF) into the exhaust after it leaves the engine.

“The e3 SCR technology offers a potential fuel savings over our competitors — up to 15% better,” says John Rogers, senior product trainer for AGCO Corporation. “That allows us to improve the efficiency of the engine significantly. Our horsepower-to-fuel-use ratio leads the category.”

Comfort and convenience
The MT600C takes operator comfort and convenience to a new level. One of the most striking visual features of the tractor is its new Pinnacle View cab. The four-post cab, surrounded by 67 square feet of glass for a 360° view, is almost 30 percent larger than the previous model and currently is the largest cab in its class.

“Farms are getting larger and larger, and when you’re working in the field all day long, your office needs to be comfortable and accessible. This cab truly is an office; it’s not just 28 percent more space,” says Blane Clark, product marketing specialist for high horsepower tractors. “I can get into the cab, move around comfortably, and my legs aren’t hitting the armrest. My feet fit under the seat better because there’s no seat platform, and we have a full, flat floor.”

The Pinnacle View cab sets the new standard in comfort, noise reduction, and ergonomic layout and design. The new cab design also puts command of the machine at the operator’s fingertips. Using the Challenger Tractor Management Center (TMC), nearly every tractor or implement function can be quickly controlled and modified to suit a variety of conditions.

ISOBUS Control System
The MT600C Series also features an integrated ISOBUS control system, which uses the TMC Display as the operator interface. This gives the operator the flexibility to use the tractor with any ISOBUS compliant implement, regardless of the manufacturer.

Innovative Machinery, World Class Service
“We are excited to introduce this new, innovative technology to help meet the challenges of today’s farmers, as well as those in the future,” Hoult says. “We are moving at a faster pace today than any time in the past half century, and Challenger is committed to setting new standards in large-scale farming in North America.”
