Challenger MT655B vs Challenger MT655E

Verdict: Challenger MT655B vs Challenger MT655E

The Challenger MT655B and the Challenger MT655E are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Challenger MT655E leads on rated power with 234 hp against 225 hp. Challenger MT655E is the lighter machine (10,800 kg vs 19,550 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Challenger MT655E is the newer design (2014 vs 2005). In short: choose the Challenger MT655E for outright pulling power, or the Challenger MT655B if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
