Challenger MT485D vs Challenger MT485E
Verdict: Challenger MT485D vs Challenger MT485E
The Challenger MT485D and the Challenger MT485E are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Challenger MT485D leads on rated power with 135 hp against 132 hp. Challenger MT485D 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 MT485D for outright pulling power, or the Challenger MT485E if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
