Challenger combines 660, 670 and 680B

Challenger was originally a Caterpillar brand. From 1999 Claas worked with Caterpillar and sold Lexion combines in North America under the Cat name; in 2002 Claas took over 50% of the joint venture and US combine production. When Caterpillar sold the Challenger line to AGCO, it also sold its share of the combine business back to Claas.
