(203 mm) of vertical travel. Andwith the flip of a switch, the header can be converted to arigid unit.6


600b series combinesHigh Capacity Starts Up FrontNo matter what crop you harvest, or whattype of header(s) you use, one thing iscertain. The threshing potential of a highcapacitycombine is only as good as its abilityto feed material into the machine.That’s why <strong>Challenger</strong> designed a feedingsystem to enhance the performance of boththe header and the threshing system, allwhile keeping simplicity and reliability topof-mind.Fast, Easy HookupIndexing or engagement blocks on the top ofthe feeder house make header hookup quickand easy. Simply engage the blocks into theunderside of the header frame and raise thefeeder housing. A lower, over-center, two-pointheader latching system completes the processto tightly secure the header in place.A tractor-style PTO drive shaft completes theprocess with no need for shimming or specialalignment. You spend less time and effortchanging or moving headers and more timeharvesting the crop.SmarTrac ® Lateral TiltSystemThe standard SmarTrac Lateral Tilt system helpsyou harvest more grain by adjusting headertilt up to four degrees in either direction tofollow the contour of the ground. Electronicpotentiometer sensors detect changes in theterrain and automatically activate movement ofthe header to compensate.SmarTrac Lateral Tilt can also be operatedmanually from the hydrostatic control handlein the cab, ensuring maximum harvestingefficiency when you need it most. Either way,you can monitor the tilt position on theC2000 terminal.Smooth, Gentle FeedingThe feed conveyor on a <strong>Challenger</strong> combineis designed to keep crop material movingsmoothly from the header to the rotor.It starts with a wide-feed conveyor tomaximize intake — 44 in. (1,121 mm) onthe 660B and 55.4 in. (1,408 mm) on the670B and 680B. The lower drum and chainare also designed to float up and downaccording to crop intake, to ensure constantchain-to-crop contact and positive feeding.Designed for durability, the feederhouse is equipped with ajaw clutch that protects the system during excessiveconditions. Chain slats are even bolted on, rather thanriveted, for simpler replacement.A variable-speed header drive matches the corn head and feedchain speed to ground speed for greater productivity and reducedcrop loss.The conveyor drum effectively separates stones from the crop anddrives them into a stone trap for later dumping.Automatic Header ControlSave grain and improve productivity witha standard header control system thatautomatically senses and regulates the cutterbarand header height position. The system alsoincludes a feederhouse position control (returnto cut) that returns the feeder house to a presetposition after turns and unloading procedures.A single-point multi-coupler combines all electrical andhydraulic connections into one, allowing for faster,cleaner connections.SmarTrac control is integrated into the C2000 terminalto provide finger-tip fine-tuning for personalizedperformance and sensitivity.Responsive 3-in. (76-mm) lift cylinders on the 660B and 670B, and3.5-in. (89-mm) lift cylinders on the 680B provide the strength andcapacity to quickly lift heavy headers.9


CapacityWithout ComplexityFour-In-One EfficiencyPeruse competitive combine literature and you’llfind rotary combines with twin rotors, tine rotors andeven “bullet” rotors. But there’s only one AdvancedHarvesting System (AHS) rotor. Powered by itsown dedicated hydraulic pump(s) and motor, theAHS threshes the crop during multiple passes,gently allowing the grain to fall through the concaves.A multi-speed gearbox — three speeds on the680B and two speeds on the 660B and 670B —allows the operator to select the ultimate torque andspeed range, up to 1,040 rpm.The longest in the industry, the AHS rotor increasescrop throughput, allowing the combine to maximizeproductivity and - in many cases - operate athigher ground speeds. The 660B and 670B rotormeasures 27.5 in. (700 mm) across, while the 680Brotor spans a full 31.5 in. (800 mm) in diameter.The AHS performs four major functions via a singlerotor, improving crop quality, reducing losses andlowering operating costs, all without the extraaugers, drives, gears and discharge rotors found onother machines.The 18-in. (457-mm) diameterUniFlow feed conveyor drum, locatedbehind the feeder housing, providesone of the secrets to <strong>Challenger</strong>’sperformance. Opposing helical vaneshelp accelerate and even out the flow ofcrop material into the rotor, feeding it afull 360 degrees around the inlet augerflighting. This minimizes crop damage,and intake area wear.High-Capacity Crop IntakeUsing a patented intake design, the AHS gently gathers crop material from theUniFlow feed conveyor and distributes it 360 degrees around the threshingsystem for greater overall capacity, less crop damage and less wear at the intakearea. Even though the hardened flighting edges ensure a long, durable life,the intake flighting assembly can be replaced as a unit, if necessary, for loweroperating costs.10


600b series combinesIndustry’s Longest RotorMeasuring 140 in. (3,665 mm) long, the AHS rotor offersmore threshing and separating area than the competition formaximum efficiency, exceptional grain quality and completecrop control.Threshing AreaAs crop material leaves the intake flighting, it immediatelymakes contact with the extended main cylinder bars, whichbegin the threshing process by rubbing the crop multiple timesacross the concaves. Additional cylinder bars, mounted onthe rear portion of the rotor, complete the threshing process.Crop material moves more quickly through the concave area,resulting in greater capacity, minimized crop damage andreduced component wear.Cylinder bars can also be reversed, further increasing theirservice life and reducing repair and maintenance costs.Wraparound Concaves680B — Concaves on the 680B are broken into nine modulesaround the rotor, providing 2,721 sq. in. (1.75 m 2 of gentle,complete threshing.660B/670B — The 660B and 670B feature seven concavesections, providing a threshing area of up to 2,205 sq. in.(1.42 m 2 ).Adjustable ConcavesConcave-to-rasp bar clearance is electrically controlled on allmodels from the comfort of the cab to match different cropsand conditions. In addition, wide and narrow-spaced concaveconfigurations match the base combine type. In most cases,corn/soybean models can be converted for small grain bysimply adding blank-out or wire plates.Crop SeparationAs crop material passes through the separating area on theAHS, any remaining grain is gently and thoroughly removedwith the aid of three rows of hardened paddles. Rotor knivesbreak any crop bunches apart to prevent crop from ropingaround the rotor. While 21 knives are installed as standardequipment, rotor knives can be removed and up to 21 moreknives can be added.Hydrostatic Rotor DriveA hydrostatic drive system, along with an electronic controlsystem that regulates pump oil flow, maintains a selectedrotor speed regardless of changes in the engine rpm orfield conditions. Should a plug occur, the operator can alsoreverse the rotor without leaving the operator’s seat, using fullhydrostatic power.11


Clean Grain By DesignThe “Wind Tunnel” Name FitsOne look at the <strong>Challenger</strong> <strong>600B</strong> Series cleaning system and you’llunderstand why it’s called the “Wind Tunnel.” From the fan to thespreader, the <strong>Challenger</strong> cleaning system is designed to quicklyand efficiently remove chaff, dirt and debris from high-yieldingcrops and move the grain quickly into the tank.Fan speed and air velocity are infinitely adjustable via two speedranges and a variable speed control in the cab. Thanks to a large,11-in. (279-mm) transverse cleaning fan on the 660B and 670Band a 13-in. (330 mm) transverse fan on the 680B, air startsseparating the chaff from the grain the second it leaves the gratesin the rotor.Cleaning Capacity To MatchClean grain is the only reason we built the <strong>Challenger</strong> cascadecleaning system. As crop material falls from the grain pan, it gentlycascades to the chaffer via a perforated cascade pan allowing precleaningof the material before reaching the chaffer. The air fromthe cleaning fan continues the cleaning process by floating theresidue rearward while grain falls through the chaffer openings tothe lower cleaning area. Here, final crop cleaning ensures that onlythe cleanest grain goes into the grain tank. Grain that doesn’t fallthrough the sieve goes into the returns system for processing.Electric sieve adjustment available on all modelsallows the operator to make adjustments from thecab seat or from the control center on the leftrear side.To complement the perforated cascade pan, the fan speedhas been increased. This speed increases the maximumair volume by 28% on the 660B and 670B and 14% onthe 680B.Sensors monitor grain loss in three locations across theshoe, and provide the operator with alerts and monitoringoptions via the C2000 terminal.12


600b series combinesABFoldable Bin ExtensionCDABLarge Grain Bin Capacity: The 660B comes with a300-bushel grain bin capacity, and the 680B comes with aneven heftier 350-bushel bin. With the 670B, you have theoption of either a 300- or 350-bushel bin.12-Inch Bin Fill Auger: A floating clean grain cross augeruses its full diameter to feed the high-capacity verticalelevator, and the larger 12-in. (300-mm) diameter bin fillauger allows for even faster material movement.CExclusive Two-Auger Unloading System: A 12-in.(300-mm) cross auger feeds the 15-in (375–m) highcapacityunloader auger. Unload the 300-bushel grain bin in75 seconds, or the 350-bushel grain bin in 88 seconds!EDEBin Full Sensor: Two electronic sensors positioned in thegrain bin alert the C2000 virtual terminal when the grain binis 75% full, then again at 100%. The grain bin can also bemonitored visually through a window behind the operator.Access Steps: Convenient steps make it easier and moresecure for service.This optional system allows the operator to foldthe bin extension and the bin fill auger electricallyfrom the cab with the touch of a switch.13


600b series combinesManage ResidueIn Your Own WayHave it your way when it comes to residue management. Choose froma versatile straw spreader that offers uniform distribution of both strawand chaff. Or add the rugged straw chopper that cuts and acceleratesresidue into a swath that matches or exceeds the width of the header.For the ultimate in residue management, add the hydraulically drivenchaff spreader, which spreads chaff and crop residue in a wide,uniform swath to match any tillage program. The chaff spreader canalso be moved to one of three positions for baling straw or to accessthe cleaning shoe.The two-disc chaff spreader can be used in conjunction with the strawspreader or chopper. It reduces the chaff buildup behind the combinefor easier tillage.Because it’s mounted on rails, you can easily move the chopper backward to allow the straw to fall and be ready for baling.Residue DischargeThe patented AHS direct discharge area utilizes six dischargepaddles to throw crop residue directly out of the machine or intothe straw chopper or straw spreader. This simple, but advanceddesign not only reduces machine complexity and horsepowerconsumption, it reduces further residue damage, allowing thestraw to be baled, if desired.For straw spreading without the need of chopping,choose the reliable two-disc straw spreader.A hydraulic-driven, two-disc chaff spreader can be easilyrotated to gain access to the cleaning area.14


600b series combinesSkip the Mid-Day Fuel StopsThe fuel-thrifty engines can easily go all day without refueling, thanks to a230-gal.

600b series combinesDrive ComponentsRugged and DependableFour-Speed Gearbox<strong>Challenger</strong> puts the power to the ground with a four-speedgearbox — instead of the three gears found on mostcompetitors — coupled to a hydrostatic drive system fora greater combination of speed and torque. Three gearscover the working range, while the fourth provides thespeeds you need for quick transport between fields.Optional Rear-Wheel AssistAn optional rear-wheel assist provides enough torque topower you through tough, muddy conditions. Yet it’s fastenough to keep you operating at full harvest capacity. Asingle-speed version is available on the 660B, while a twospeedversion is optional on the 680B. The 670B can beordered with a single-speed or two-speed axle (two-speedis mandatory with the larger bin option).Pressure/FlowCompensated HydraulicsConsidered state-of-the-art for a combine, <strong>Challenger</strong>’sclosed-center hydraulic system pumps oil only when itis needed. Similar to the system used in today’s highhorsepowertractors, the pressure/flow compensatedhydraulic system reduces fuel consumption and lowers oiltemperature, which helps increase component life.Rugged Final DrivesHeavy-duty S41 final drives with a 7.066:1 gear reductionratio transmits tractive force directly to the drive wheels forgreater versatility — including the ability to use straddlemountdual wheels — and the strength to carryheavy loads.Flotation TiresFor extra flotation in soft conditions, all models areavailable with Michelin ® MegaXbib ® low-pressureradial tires, which provide 19% more ground contactarea than comparable-sized tires. They reducecompaction, improve performance in muddy fields,enhance ride comfort and provide a longer service life— all without the added cost of a track undercarriage.Responsive SteeringAn adjustable steering axle is standard equipment onall <strong>600B</strong> Series models. Moreover, <strong>Challenger</strong> uses twinsteering cylinders, instead of just one, along with a highcapacitypump for greater reliability and more responsivesteering. The heavy-duty rear axle, used on the 680B, isalso available as an option on the 670B.Drum BrakesDrum brakes, mounted outboard of the transmission onthe final drive input shafts, provide the stopping power youdemand for tight turns and uneven terrain.19

With the incorporation of all data andmonitoring functions into the C2000 terminal, the “B”post and overhead monitors have been eliminated,expanding the view in every direction.Top it off with a luxury air-suspension seat and youhave the kind of comfort it takes to get through thelongest days.All-Day ComfortErgonomically shaped cloth cushions — with the optionof a heated-leather Super-Comfort seat — are justthe beginning of operator comfort. Standard amenitiesinclude seat cushion angle and height adjustments, seatbelt, fore/aft position adjustment, adjustable lumbarsupport and operator presence switches that disengagethe separator, header and unloading auger when theoperator leaves the seat for 5-7 seconds.Console ControlA seat-mounted console puts all frequently used controls,as well as the C2000 terminal, right at your fingertipsfor increased comfort and productivity. The hydrostaticcontrol handle alone allows precise management offorward and reverse motion and incorporates switchesfor header and reel movement, electric corn stripperplate adjustment and the unloader auger.Efficient Climate ControlA climate-control system that’s easy to adjust is of littlevalue if it doesn’t move the air. <strong>Challenger</strong>’s system givesyou both. Heater and air conditioner controls,conveniently located on the right-hand overhead console,let you quickly select the desired temperature, whiletwo high-volume inlet filters, one recirculating filter andmultiple air outlets provide efficient air circulation forall-day comfort.Power-Fold LadderAn electrically actuated power-fold ladder is an option onall <strong>600B</strong> Series models. Easily folded from either the cabor ground level, it eliminates the need to fold the ladderto the front and clears the way for transport.20


600b series combinesA Clear ViewIn Any LightLight Up The NightYou can never have too much light when harvestingat night. That’s why we equipped the <strong>Challenger</strong><strong>600B</strong> Series with a stadium light package thatincludes eight round-profile halogen work lightsin the roof visor, another in the grain tank, two toilluminate the area behind the header and two morethat help you monitor crop discharge. There’s evena light on the left side of the cab to count rows, orassist with unloading. And with its 2.5-minute timer,it doubles as an exit light.Service LightsWhere You Need ThemCleaning Shoe Light<strong>Challenger</strong> engineers thought of everything, includingthe need for an integral light in the cleaning shoearea. Now, you can check or adjust the cleaningshoe at night without having to carry a flashlight.Take Lighting To The Next LevelFor even better visibility when harvesting at night,<strong>Challenger</strong> takes lighting to the next level with a HighIntensity Discharge (HID) lighting package. Two HIDlights replace two lights on the cab for a better viewand improved nighttime productivity.Beacon Light PackageThe optional rotary beacon light package doesmore than increase the combine’s visibilityduring transport. In the field position, the rotarybeacons are activated when the bin level sensoris tripped. This serves as an indicator to graincart operators and others that the combine willsoon need to be unloaded.23


Knowledgeis PowerWelcome To The Information AgeAn informed operator is a more productive and efficient operator. That’swhy every <strong>Challenger</strong> <strong>600B</strong> Series combine is equipped with the newest,state-of-the-art monitoring technology. The microprocessor-based C2000terminal centralizes all information in one location via a complete ISOBUSsystem that offers even more potential for the future.State-of-the-Art C2000 TerminalThe C2000 terminal found in all <strong>600B</strong> Series combines is much morethan a monitor. Comprised of a 10.5-inch, touch-sensitive color screen,nine hard keys, and a rotary dial, the C2000 terminal is a fully integratedsystem that is designed right into the combine.From one convenient, compact screen, the C2000 terminal allows theoperator to monitor all combine, engine and hydraulic functions, checkand adjust combine settings, monitor grain loss and keep track of loads,trips and service.Because it uses ISOBUS communications and meets ISO 11783standards, the C2000 terminal can be moved from the combine to controlIsobus implements such as a White Planter or <strong>Challenger</strong> baler.Video Capability FeatureThe C2000 terminal can also support two optional remote video cameras,to enable the operator to view, from the cab-mounted monitor, the areabehind the combine and/or around the unloading auger.On-The-Go AdjustmentsUsing technology designed into the <strong>600B</strong> Series, the C2000 terminalallows the operator to change combine settings on the go without leavingthe seat or searching the console for the appropriate switch.Via the touch-screen monitor, you can easily adjust rotor speed, concaveclearance, fan speed and cleaning shoe opening (with the optional electricadjustment) all by simply pressing the icon and following the prompts. Yousave time and distraction, while improving productivity and grain quality.Quickly Store Crop SettingsMoving from crop to crop and field to field is simple with the C2000terminal. All settings, including header width and cutting height, can besaved by crop type or field conditions. Up to 20 different crop settings canbe saved and recalled at the push of a button, which means you can haveone setting for high-moisture corn, one for dry corn, another for wheat,soybeans, etc.The C2000 terminal can be adjusted for easy access to the touch-screenand dials, as well as maximum visibility.The operator can navigate to virtually any display without scrolling throughmultiple screens, and the monitor can be customized to display only themost important information.24The C2000 terminal displays information in a manner that is most beneficialto the operator, as analog gauges or digitally on the screen.


600b series combinesFieldstar IICentered on the versatile C2000 terminal, the Fieldstar II precisionfarming system begins with a standard-yield monitoring system thatcollects data to display and record crop yield and moisture. With theappropriate desktop software, Fieldstar II can generate maintenancerecords, crop records and even field maps that provide an accuraterecord of yield variability throughout the field.Satellite-Assisted Steering<strong>Challenger</strong> offers satellite-assisted steering systems to increase theproductivity of your combine by reducing unwanted overlaps or skips.<strong>Challenger</strong> combines are compatible with AGCO’s AUTOGUIDE as wellas the Topcon System 150 and AES-25 assisted-steering systems.Either will provide sub-meter, decimeter, and sub-inch accuracy.
