2021 Challenger 1000 Series 1042

IT'S NOT A REDESIGN.

IT'S A TOTALLY NEW TRACTOR

BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP.

Innovation from some of the best engineers on the planet:

INTELLIGENT FARMING IS DOING THE WORK OF TWO TRACTORS WITH JUST ONE.

Having one tractor for spring applications and another for the rest of the year can be expensive. The Challenger® 1000 Series can help. These fixed frame tractors are built to also handle the work of an articulated tractor, with the power and maneuverability to handle both grueling tillage work and intricate row crop applications.

ACCU THE SHORTEST WAY TO SAY SUPERIOR ENGINEERING, SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE, SUPERIOR PRODUCTIVITY.

AccuEngineering™, is the smarter, more intuitive and more efficient engineering platform upon which the Challenger 1000 Series is built. From the controls in the cab, to the AccuDrive™ powertrain, to the AccuTerminal™, ACCU is simply a more intelligent way to engineer a more intelligent tractor.

NOT JUST RAW POWER. SMART POWER.

An engine and powertrain that work together perfectly will maximize engine power at slow speeds. So you can pull the heaviest implements through the toughest conditions, with maximum torque and minimum fuel usage. And you always get optimized traction and flotation, and tremendous pulling power.

Perhaps the most intelligent feature of the Challenger 1000 series is a powertrain unlike anything you’ve seen before. Simply put, the Accu-VT powertrain maximizes engine power at slow speeds. So you can pull the heaviest implements through the toughest conditions, with maximum torque and minimum fuel usage. The key is the tractor’s ability to drive both axles independently.

The six-cylinder, 12.4-liter displacement, MAN engine is ideal for heavy draft work, delivering an impressive 1,770 ft. lbs. of torque at 1,100 RPM. The Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) turbocharger unleashes enormous power at low engine speed, so you can operate continuously in a maximum torque range while still delivering the lowest specific fuel consumption.

The high-torque-at-low-engine-speed principle ensures that all vehicle components—engine, transmission, fan and hydraulics—work precisely at maximum capacity, even at these low engine speeds. This delivers maximum performance and efficiency 365 days a year.

The Accu-VT is engineered with a hydraulic pump and two hydraulic motors that enable ideal torque distribution, as needed, independently on the front and rear wheels. The rear axle is supplied with the hydrostatic mechanical power-splitting. The continuously variable operation allows for 65 feet per hour to 31 mph all in ONE range without any intervention by the operator, for easier operation.

Conventional four-wheel drives use a fixed-torque ratio between the front and rear axle. Not these tractors. Our unique Challenger Torque Vectoring enables a variable four-wheel drive, where torque is distributed over two transmission outputs, independently on both axles for tremendous pulling power. An intelligently controlled four-wheel drive clutch controls the torque so it can be shifted between the axles, according to need, with reduced frictional loss and wear. As speed increases, a clutch completely decouples the front axle drive at 15.5 mph, eliminating drag losses in the drive train and further increasing efficiency.
