Challenger – other balers: large-square and round balers from the AGCO brand built in Hesston, the LB and RB ranges, 2,594 to 10,315 kg, some with AutoCycle automatic wrapping
Challenger is an agricultural machinery brand of the AGCO group; the brand's balers are built at the Hesston plant in Kansas, USA. This collective page lists large square balers of the LB range (LB33, LB34, LB44 along with their further developed B versions) and round balers of the RB range (RB453, RB463, RB563) outside the independently maintained main ranges; the AutoCycle designation on the RB463A and RB563A denotes an automated net or film wrapping cycle.

The register lists here 11 versions with weights from 2,594.5 to 10,315.1 kg, lengths from 3,770 to 9,400 mm, a width of 3,000 mm and heights from 2,620 to 3,680 mm.
Large square balers such as the LB range compress hay, straw or crop residue into rectangular bales for long-distance transport and biomass use, while round balers such as the RB range are mainly used in forage harvesting for cattle and dairy farming; the two designs complement each other in the range for different farm sizes and purposes.
On used examples, the condition of the knotter or wrapping mechanism, wear on the pickup and tines, the condition of chains, belts and bale-chamber bearings, and the function of the net or film wrap and the tyres all matter; spare parts run through the AGCO dealer network.
