Challenger – other models: the collective page of combine harvesters of the AGCO brand, from the 560C to the 654B, 190 to 340 kW, with AGCO Power, Sisu Diesel and Iveco engines
Challenger is a combine harvester brand belonging to the AGCO group. This page gathers the models the register could not assign to a named range: the 560C along with the separately listed 560C combine version, the 600-series types 645, 647C, 648 and 652C, and the 654B. The three-digit type designations order the models by size class, with the letter suffix C or B denoting a successive model generation.

The register lists 7 versions here with 190 to 340 kW, or 255 to 460 hp. The engine makers recorded are mainly AGCO Power, alongside Sisu Diesel and Iveco; all models run on diesel.
With outputs from 255 to 460 hp, the Challenger combines rank in the upper segment of harvesting equipment for large-scale operations, competing there with combines from Claas, John Deere and New Holland; as an AGCO brand, Challenger shares engine and drivetrain technology with other group brands.
When buying a used Challenger combine, the condition and operating hours of the AGCO Power, Sisu Diesel or Iveco engines, wear on the threshing, shaker and chopper elements, and the function of the electronic yield monitoring all matter most; spare parts run through the AGCO dealer network. The calibration of the header mounting and the condition of the concave segments are also worth checking. The hydraulic hoses and electrical wiring should also be checked for corrosion.

- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
