Verdict: Challenger MT585B vs Challenger MT655

The Challenger MT585B and the Challenger MT655 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Challenger MT655 leads on rated power with 205 hp against 200 hp. Challenger MT585B is the lighter machine (7,439 kg vs 9,752 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Challenger MT655 holds more fuel (454.2 L vs 355.8 L) for longer stints between fills. Challenger MT585B is the newer design (2010 vs 2002).
