Challenger MT800B-Tracks

The Challenger MT800B-Tracks are Winners in every aspect.

Tracks for Any Challenge

With more than 20 years experience of leading rubber track design behind it, the new Challenger MT800B Series undercarriage introduces the latest generation of leadership.

The redesigned Mobil-trac™ system provides a better ride with more speed and mobility, with increased traction, flotation and reduced compaction. This system has the longest wheelbase (3000 mm) in its category with four belt widths, two treadbar designs and two widths of drive wheels, idlers and midwheels.

The longer wheelbase provides lower ground pressure and more tractive efficiency in typical soils, and the longer footprint provides more stability and better balance in every application.

Smooth Tracking

These machines have the highest transport speed of any tracked tractor , up to 39.6 km/h. And with speed sensitive steering, great visibility, and Opti-Ride Suspension™ this tractor is a delight to drive.

The standard Opti-Ride Suspension™ provides a smooth, vibration-free ride on the road or in the field. High-tech Marsh Mallow® springs isolate the suspended hardbar from the tractor chassis. The left and right undercarriages raise and lower independently, and the hardbar “floats” under the chassis through the use of a stabiliser bar to allow each undercarriage to smoothly “walk” over obstacles.

Light On Its Feet

When equipped with narrow belts, this big machine becomes the only high horsepower belted ag tractor capable of operating in a wide range of applications, including row crops.

The track gauge is easily adjustable, from 2286 mm to 2601 mm (EU) or 3251 mm (non-EU countries), without spacers, bolts or de-tensioning the belt.

The Challenger MT800B Series tractors have a standard 1155 litre capacity fuel tank with an optional additional 95 litre tank. This total 1250 litre capacity fuel system is standard on the MT865B and MT875B models.

The versatility of the MT800B Series Challenger tractors allows maximum utilisation, which means improved profit margins with fewer tractors.

The rugged rubber tracks on these tractors are designed and built to Caterpillar’s precise standards. Each treadbar and guide block is designed to perform in specific conditions.

Treadbars, guide blocks and the track carcases are created from specialised rubber compounds designed to resist abrasion and wear, bonded together in an exclusive manufacturing process. These are the hardest wearing, most rugged, longest lasting belts in the industry.

Unlike the “hardbottom” design of other brands of tracked tractors in this size class, the Challenger MT800B Series tractors have four semi-suspended midwheels that move independently, allowing the track to follow the contour of the ground.

General Ag Belt

This all-purpose belt provides excellent ride, with superior belt alignment and traction in a wide range of field conditions. The general Ag belts are available in three widths, 699 mm, 762 mm and 914 mm.

Extreme Application Belt

Extreme Application Belt

These tough belts are designed to handle heavy road travel, steep side slopes or abrasive traction conditions. They feature a thicker carcase, wider treadbars and longer guide blocks, and are available in 699 mm, 762 mm and 914 mm widths.

New Extreme Ag Belt

This tough belt combines the thicker carcase and longer guide blocks of the extreme application belt with the agriculturally tailored treadbars of the general Ag belt, to provide outstanding performance in the toughest agricultural conditions. The extreme Ag belts are also available in 699 mm, 762 mm and 914 mm widths.

Optimum Performance Options

  • Large Diameter Driver
  • Higher crop clearance under the axles, plenty of belt-to-driver grip and longer belt life are among the benefits of the large diameter, 1549 mm driver, the largest in its class. The wide chevron grooves on the surface of the driver shed mud and increase driver grip.
  • In-Line Reaction Arm
  • The unique in-line reaction arm tensions each belt independently and keeps that tension in line and isolated from the tractor drive axles and frame. The 111.21 kN of tension provides optimum belt-to-driver grip without placing stress on the tractor frame, which is now monitored in the cab. Quick, easy gauge changes can be made without de-tensioning the belt.
  • Front Idler
  • The 940 mm diameter front idler reduces rolling resistance and improves belt wear life. The rubber-coated surface is smooth for reduced vibration.
  • Mounting Holes
  • Mounting holes for chemical tanks and other attachments are built right into the Mobil-trac™ system to ensure maximum versatility and tractor balance.
  • Advanced Rubber Compounds
  • Rubber compounds individually formulated for treadbars, belt carcases and guide blocks are used in the belt manufacturing process. An arrangement of four or more layers of steel cable provides precise tracking, strength and durability.
