Challenger MT585B vs Challenger MT585D

Verdict: Challenger MT585B vs Challenger MT585D

The Challenger MT585B and the Challenger MT585D are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Challenger MT585B leads on rated power with 200 hp against 188 hp. Challenger MT585B is the lighter machine (7,439 kg vs 7,711 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Challenger MT585D holds more fuel (431.5 L vs 355.8 L) for longer stints between fills. Challenger MT585D is the newer design (2012 vs 2010). In short: choose the Challenger MT585B for outright pulling power, or the Challenger MT585D if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
