Challenger MT475D vs Challenger MT485E

Verdict: Challenger MT475D vs Challenger MT485E

The Challenger MT475D and the Challenger MT485E are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Challenger MT485E leads on rated power with 132 hp against 130 hp. Challenger MT475D is the lighter machine (5,670 kg vs 6,999 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Challenger MT485E holds more fuel (253.6 L vs 242.2 L) for longer stints between fills. Challenger MT485E is the newer design (2017 vs 2014). In short: choose the Challenger MT485E for outright pulling power, or the Challenger MT475D if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
