Jarrod Woley, of Whayne Supply Co. the local Challenger dealer in Paducah, Ky., awards Donny DeLine and his family with a new Challenger MT865C track tractor. Pictured are Woley, Christy DeLine, Donny, son Payton and daughter Larkin.
The Challenger MT865C Series tractor offers 525 gross engine horsepower delivered by a Caterpillar® C18 ACERT® Tier III engine, a smooth 16F/4R powershift Cat® transmission, and the industry’s most advanced and productive track undercarriage technology. Challenger’s exclusive Mobil-trac™ system maximizes traction and floatation while minimizing compaction. Infinitely variable gauge settings paired with five different belt options allow the tractor to adapt to fit a wide range of row widths and crop applications. The tractor is fully ISOBUS compliant allowing the operator complete control of any ISOBUS-compatible implements as well as major tractor functions through one easy to use monitor.
