Rugged Articulated Frame
The Challenger MT900C Series offers the perfect balance of strength, operating weight and flotation. We started with the widest, heaviest frame in the industry to serve as the foundation for performance. The front portion features Challenger’s proven bathtub style frame to support the engine and transmission, while the rear section is comprised of a rugged, fabricated steel assembly. Then, we added the largest diameter driveline in the industry to ensure that the weight and horsepower are delivered to the ground.
Other features of the MT900C frame and drive system include:
- Tri-point oscillation provide 13 degrees of movement for even distribution of weight and power on uneven terrain. even distribution of forces through the frame, less component stress and greater reliability.
- A 42-degree turn angle provides tight maneuvers on headlands and corners.
- Axles are pressure lubed from the transmission sump to reduce friction and power loss while ensuring constant wear protection.
- Disc brakes on each axle provide impressive stopping power to restrain heavy loads, no matter the terrain.
- Heavy-duty, dual-sealed bearings surround both ends of the largest articulation pin in the industry for extreme reliability and performance and minimal wear.
- Extra-large axle housings provide the structural support to withstand heavy loads and rough terrain.
- The largest standard axles in the industry — at 145 mm (5.7 in.) — provide maximum durability and strength.
- An electro-hydraulic differential lock on each axle guarantees that maximum power is available when it is needed most.
