Caterpillar
commands more respect for its integrity, in-field
service and parts support than the Cat
network. The same philosophy applies to
Challenger equipment, thanks to a partnership
between AGCO Corporation and Caterpillar.
It all began in March 2002, when AGCO
Corporation acquired the highly respected
Challenger line of track tractors from Caterpillar Inc.
and began expanding it into a full line of serious
equipment. Today, the Challenger brand includes a
complete line of wheel and track tractors from 23
to 570 engine horsepower, as well as a family of
hay equipment and combines.
Your Cat dealer now offers a single point of
contact for all your equipment needs, no matter
the application. And that translates into less
downtime and greater productivity.
New to the Challenger line-up, the MT300B Series is a true
middleweight champ that can handle highway mowing and loader work
with equal ease. Available in four horsepower ranges, the MT300B
tractors are powered by a powerful 3.3-liter, 3-cylinder diesel engine
that is also turbocharged for maximum performance and fuel efficiency.
Adaptable Transmission
Despite its compact, maneuverable size, the MT300B comes
with a standard 12FX12R shuttle transmission for an equal
number of gears in both forward and reverse. Reverse speeds are
15 percent slower than forward speeds for shorter cycle times and
increased productivity.
Optional factory installed
hydraulic joystick and two
mid-mounted valves offer
integrated ergonomics and
superb loader control.
Hydraulically actuated,
oil-cooled multi-disc brakes
provide optimum efficiency
and safety, yet require
minimal maintenance.
The Power Shuttle
transmission provides the
added convenience of
a push-button gearshift
without the use of the clutch
pedal. (Push, shift and go.)
Whether you choose the comfortable, open platform, or the roomy, ergonomic
cab, the MT300B Series offers the kind of operator comfort that results in
greater productivity.
Responsive PTO
Although a 540 rpm PTO is standard on all MT300B models, those
who use this versatile tractor for mowing and PTO applications
might want to consider the optional 540/540E PTO. In light-duty
applications, this economy minded option allows the operator to
attain rated 540 rpm PTO speed at only 1,648 engine rpm. You’ll not
only save on fuel costs, but minimize operator fatigue and improve
productivity by reducing noise levels.

• Booms retract the cutting head to within 24
inches of tractor tires for tight roadside conditions.
A single, primary grade, electronic joystick linked to an
electronic proportional four-way hydraulic spool valve,
provides simultaneous control of multiple boom functions.
• A patented, quick-change system permits simple
and efficient flail blade changes in the field,
reducing downtime and saving road travel back to
the shop.
• The electronic joystick is equipped with an on/off
switch to enable lockout for transport. The boom
electronics also utilize a separate circuit breaker.
• A 52 gpm PTO-driven hydraulic pump linked to
a powerful hydraulic drive motor provides a
minimum of 60-horsepower to drive the flail or
rotary head. Oil is supplied by a self-contained
hydraulic system that includes its own 55-gallon
(208 litre) reservoir and filter system. This allows
the tractor hydraulics to operate boom movement
without hesitation or stalling.

MT600B
series tractors
TechStar CVT
Whether you acquire the TechStar™ CVT (continuously variable
transmission) as standard equipment on an MT665B, or specify it as
an option on an MT500BR or MT500BRM model, you won’t find a
better power train on any machine. The TechStar™ CVT is backed by
more than a decade of research, development and production.
One pass with a TechStar-equipped MT500B or MT600B model and
you’ll quickly appreciate the infinite speed control that allows you to
attain the optimum speed for the job.
Two continuously variable speed ranges provide working speed
selections from 0 to 17 mph (0-28 kph) and transport speeds from
0 to 25 mph (0-40 kph) with the standard front axle and 0 to 32 mph
(0-50 kph) with the optional front-axle suspension system.
MT665B Special Application Tractor
Rated at 240 PTO horsepower (180 kW), the Challenger MT665B
features exceptional power, excellent efficiency and the most innovative
technology in the industry. That also makes it an ideal tractor for
scraper and industrial applications... particularly when it’s equipped
with Challenger’s new “Special Application” package, which includes:
pneumatic cab suspension, 2 roof mounted beacons and extra weights
to assist traction for the 710/70R38 and 600/65R28 tires.
Perhaps the best feature of the MT665B scraper tractor, though, is the
standard-equipment TechStar CVT (continuously variable transmission).
When coupled with the Challenger Endurance diesel engine and its
electronic engine management system, the TechStar CVT provides a
virtually unlimited combination of engine speeds and ground speeds
from 60 feet per hour to 25 mph (32 mph with the suspended front
axle). Pull a scraper at exactly the right speed for slope and soil
conditions. Then take advantage of the rapid transport.
Stepless Speed Control....How It Works
By using both its mechanical and hydrostatic capabilities at the same
time, the TechStar CVT not only operates more efficiently, but it does
so without preset gear limits.
With stepless variable speed, you have access to the power
reserves, as well as the speed choices, normally hidden in the areas
between gears.
Say, for example, you choose to pull a 30’ chisel at 6.4 mph instead
of the 5.7 mph gear limit on a competitive powershift. The difference
in speed adds up to an extra 36 acres in a 14-hour day. And that’s
just one operation on one day.
Think of the possibilities with applications like crop spraying, where
a constant ground speed is critical for accuracy. Or harvesting with
PTO-drive equipment, where it’s important to keep engine speed at
a steady level.
With the Challenger MT600B and the TechStar CVT, the operator can
control precise ground speed, engine speed and/or PTO speed as
each takes precedence.
10
The 8.4-liter (512 cu. in.), 6-cylinder
Challenger “Endurance” diesel used in
the MT665B is Tier III compliant and
was designed from inception to provide
the highest level of performance and
reliability when coupled with the
TechStar CVT.
Four valves per cylinder, along with a
turbocharger and aftercooler ensure
Tier III compliance, while providing
continuous power and up to 40
percent torque backup.
• Electronic Engine Management
(EEM)ensures quick and precise
response to throttle movement.
The EEM system also allows the
operator to program or recall two
specific engine speeds with the
touch of a button.
• The single-piece cast-iron block
provides maximum strength and
serves as a load-bearing frame
component, contributing to a
shorter turning radius.
• Stepless variable speed provide
access to the power reserves, as
well as the speed choices, normally
hidden in the areas between gears
on powershift units.
• Achieve precise ground speed,
engine speed and/or PTO speed as
each takes precedence.
• A separate oil reservoir isolates the
transmission from the hydraulic
remotes, minimizing the chance
for contamination.
• All tractor movements can be
controlled with the operators left
Designed by ergonomic specialists, with the help of user
focus groups, the MT600B cab offers the best comfort, control
and ease of use in the industry.
• An industry-leading 71 dB(A) maximum interior sound level
helps the operator concentrate on the job.
• The VRS semi-active operator’s seat allows continuous realtime automatic damping force adjustments based on terrain
inputs. The comfortable ride, combined with the quieter
environment, helps keep the operator fresh and alert through
long days for improved safety, performance and productivity.
• A multi-function armrest, attached to the seat, puts all
frequently used controls at the operator’s fingertips.
• An ergonomically designed right-hand control console
groups all controls by function for quick response.
• 61 square feet (5.67 square meters) of glass provides
excellent visibility in all directions.
• The slim-profile dash features improved forward ground
visibility and provides both analog and LCD displays.
Computerized Assistance
An in-cab Power Performance display allows the operator to
monitor all tractor operations and pre-setup to 21 tractor
and implement functions for efficient operator performance.
Using the Trailed Implement Control (TIC) the operator can
control scraper depth automatically by presetting the maximum
wheel slip and allowing the tractor to adjust the blade height.
As a result, engine performance remains at peak levels and
scraper cuts are always gradual and even, improving cycle
times and ensuring single-pass accuracy.

Cat dealers and service
world-renowned dealers, world-class service
In addition to bringing new thinking to machines, the
Challenger team brings a whole new concept to sales and
service through Cat dealers. It may be our biggest
difference and our greatest strength. And it may be the
reason your operation could become more profi table with
Challenger equipment.
When you buy Challenger equipment you get the backing
and support of the legendary network of Cat dealers.
People who have been keeping contractors, construction,
mining, landscaping, roadwork and just about every
heavy-machine demand undertaking in the world, up and
running…365 days a year, day and night. People who don’t take
downtime lightly. That’s why we’re already creating Challenger
brand loyalists—because every Challenger machine is backed
by the same support. In fact, Cat dealers are second to none in
on-location service.
With more mobile service trucks loaded with more diagnostic
equipment than most repair shops, and better-trained
technicians who work as hard at preventing problems as they
do at repairing them.
Combine it all with our 24-hour-a-day parts network and
you have the absolute gold standard in service. And it’s all at
work, ready to maximize your productivity and uptime.
Plus, Cat dealers have a rock-solid commitment to
agriculture. This partnership solidifi es their confi dence in the
Challenger product by putting their name behind the sales force
and service network. Combining Serious Machinery with the
Serious Dealers of Caterpillar is shifting the way things have
always been done. A shift we’re certain you’ll agree will soon
be the standard to beat.

At AGC0 Finance, we understand that
financing is as much a part of your purchase
decision as the features and benefits of the
product. So we’re committed to providing the
best means of acquiring the equipment you
need, while allowing you to preserve other
credit lines of operating capital.
We offer flexible payment schedules,
flexible terms, quality service, competitive
rates, comprehensive financing and leasing
options, and virtually unlimited resources.
All are available under one roof, at your
authorized Caterpillar dealership.
