EDITOR'S NOTE -- Major manufacturers continue taking the wraps off new and improved models of agricultural tractors even as hard times continue in the industry. The following article details some of these recent introductions.

Caterpillar Agricultural Products, Inc.

Caterpillar is joining the parade by introducing the all-new Challenger MT700 Series tractors, which are designed to help boost grower productivity in the field and all around the farm. Built with exclusive high-tech performance and comfort-enhancing features, the MT700 Series range from 185 to 255 PTO horsepower.

The four new Challenger MT700 models combine technology, speed and comfort with superior traction, flotation and reliability growers have come to expect from Caterpillar equipment.

A refined Mobil-trac system undercarriage features a track wheelbase 10 inches longer than previous models. The longer wheelbase provides even more flotation and less compaction, without having to use a wider belt New suspended mid-wheels also improve traction and ride in uneven field and road conditions.

Featuring the highest standard hydraulic flow rate in the industry, Challenger MT700 Series tractors are equipped with 43.5 GPM flow, and three standard remote circuits with options for as many as six.
