Your Complete Source for hay equipment, parts and accessories

From the smallest disc mower conditioner to the largest big baler, Challenger equipment also features the latest the industry has to offer in technology, performance and reliability. Anything less wouldn’t be carrying the Challenger name.

your Challenger dealer Has The extras you need Challenger SB and LB Series rectangular balers are equipped with the features you’ll need to do a clean, efficient job of packaging nearly any hay or forage crop. Your Challenger dealer offers a full line of parts, accessories and options that can further increase the machine’s efficiency and productivity.

Challenger Hay equipment Makes light Work Of HarvestingThere’snotmuchmarginwhenit’stimetocuthay.A few days too late and you start to lose quality andprotein.Thesamegoesforbaling.Whenthecrop’s dry, there’s not a lot of time to lose.

Fortunately, Challenger hay equipment is ready to go when you are. Whether you’re a grower, whose needscallforamower-conditionerandroundbaler,oracustomharvesterinneedofaself-propelled windrower and a big rectangular baler, you can count on rugged, reliable equipment that’s designed to maximize uptime and productivity.

Hay family products

Available options include bale chute kits, wagon hitch kits and buffered acid application systems, to name a few. Your Challenger dealer also maintains a stock of genuine Challenger parts and supplies, including baler twine, lubricants and replacement tines, to keep your equipment running smoothly day in and day out.

Rectangular balers

In addition to bringing new thinking to machines, the Challenger team brings a whole new concept to sales and service through Cat dealers. It may be our biggest difference and our greatest strength. And it may be the reason your operation could become more profitable with Challenger equipment.
