Challenger MT655E vs Challenger MT665

Verdict: Challenger MT655E vs Challenger MT665

The Challenger MT655E and the Challenger MT665 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Challenger MT655E leads on rated power with 234 hp against 227 hp. Challenger MT665 is the lighter machine (9,752 kg vs 10,800 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Challenger MT655E holds more fuel (628.3 L vs 454.2 L) for longer stints between fills. Challenger MT655E is the newer design (2014 vs 2002).
