MT700B-Transmission

Looking For A Reliable, Durable and Quality transmission? Then the MT700B-Transmission is what you are looking for.

Reliability, durability and quality are built into the Challenger MT700B-Transmission, from the ground up – the only one in the industry designed specifically for a rubber-belted agricultural tractor. In addition, we verified this design by extensively testing pre-production models in tough, real-life situations. Prior to assembly, we confirm our test results by re-testing every transmission as a unit before it goes into a tractor.

The Challenger 16F/4R electronically controlled transmission provides the user with extreme flexibility, offering several shift options, including an automatic shifting mode using Power Management. In addition, using the Intellitronics™ network, smoother shifts result from continuous electronic communication between the C9 ACERT™ engine and the transmission. Before the transmission executes a shift, it first senses how much load the engine is experiencing in order to deliver the smoothest shift possible.

The optional creeper transmission is easily engaged using a switch on the Tractor Management Centre which provides an additional 14 forward and 4 reverse gears using a 1:4 speed reduction (total 30F/8R).

The electro-hydraulic differential steering is speed sensitive. At higher transport speeds, the steering becomes less sensitive and corrections are easier to make. At slower speeds, the steering is more sensitive and minimal inputs are required to make all corrections. When the tractor is in “Park”, the steering is locked out.

Even the brakes on the MT700B Series set a new standard. Brake performance is preserved with a patented self-adjusting retraction mechanism. As the oil-cooled, multi-disc brakes wear, the brake pistons position themselves to maintain a constant piston travel to increase efficiency.

MT700B Series Transmission Working Ranges

Eight gears in the 6.5 to 14.9 Km/h (4 to 9.3 mph) operating range give the responsiveness and productivity your applications require. Closely spaced gear splits concentrated in the primary working range are designed with engine torque rise and operating rpm to deliver the most usable power.

With the new 39.6 km/h transport speed, more time can be spent in the field and less on the road. The fastest of any rubber-belted agricultural tractor, the Challenger MT700B Series tractors’ gear splits are spaced further apart at the higher transport speeds. This requires minimal gear shifts while maintaining excellent acceleration to top transport speed.
