Available in three models and two bale sizes, SB Series balers promise uncompromised bale quality, whether you put up 1,000 bales a year or 1,000 bales a day.• The wide, low-profile pickup is centrally located in front of the baler to sweep in wide windrows without raking. • In contrast to offset-design balers, which puts the crop through two 90-degree turns, Challenger SB balers move the crop in a straight line from the pickup to the bale chute.• The short, high-speed plunger stroke increases baler capacity while reducing wear on the Serious balers for serious hay producersFrom Florida to California…Texas to Manitoba, rectangular bales have become a popular choice of custom and commercial hay producers, dairy farmers, horse breeders and beef producers. No matter the need, the occupation or the bale size you prefer, Challenger has a baler that’s perfectly sized for your feeding style, transportation method or storage facility. Choose from five bale sizes and six different models, including two large rectangular balers capable of building silage bales.lb series large rectangular balersThe newest choice of professional hay producers and contractors, Challenger® LB Series balers feature more than just an industry-leading design. They offer everything customers have been looking for in a big rectangular baler. That’s particularly true of the new “B” Series models, which feature advanced technology from the pickup assembly to the bale chute…and 10 to 30 percent more capacity than the original LB Series balers.• An on-board hydraulic system permits easier hook-up and ensures that variables in tractor hydraulic systems will not affect baler performance. • True bale density is measured through load cells on the plunger connecting rods rather than gearbox deflection.• An increase in the number of sealed and tapered bearings means fewer service points and a 50-hour service interval. plunger and rollers by as much as 30 percent compared to side-feed designs, with a longer plunger stroke.The best Of both Worlds The Challenger name may be relatively new in North America’s hay fields, but seldom has a farm equipment company grown to prominence as quickly as the Challenger brand. In just a few short years, the name has become synonymous with quality and service, particularly among professional and commercial producers whose output represents 75 percent of the world’s commodity production. It all started in March 2002, when AGCO Corporation acquired the highly respected Challenger line of track tractors from Caterpillar and began expanding it into a full line of serious 2Model bale size Min.

Nobody commands more respect for their integrity, in-field service and parts support than the Cat® dealer network.And, nobody is better prepared to keep your hay equipment running, no matter the hour, day or location of your parts and service needs.“In an average year, I’ll put up about 12,000 big rectangular bales; so I need a baler that’s built tough enough to handle it”COnSIStent3RectangulaR baleRsWe’re up to the Challenge4PrODuCtIVe5RectangulaR baleRsbig balers that are big on productivity Whether it’s hay, straw or silage; precut or uncut bales; half-ton or one-ton packages, you pick the size and type that matches your specific needs. Challenger promises the kind of bale quality that adds to the bottom line…whether you’re feeding them, selling them or putting them up on a custom basis. strength That Matches CapacityAll LB Series large rectangular balers feature unitized, welded box-beam construction with high-strength steel mainframe, axles, hitch and main components to resist twisting. These balers are equipped with large flotation tires that reduce compaction. The LB Series’ drive system is equally reliable, • for less downtime, lower maintenance costs and greater resale value. An equal-angle driveline and swivel ball drawbar • hitch allows short turns with minimal driveline vibration.Challenger LB Series balers use a pre-charge chamber to pre-form the crop into uniform flakes from top to bottom, regardless of windrow size or baler speed. Uniform flakes make a square-shouldered, better-stacking bale.As the crop is lifted by the pickup, centering 1. augers assist in feed material to the packer. A set of packer fingers mounted on a crankshaft feeds the crop into the pre-charge chamber. A set of holding fingers retain the charge in the prechamber until the density reaches a predetermined level. The holding fingers retract and the stuffer 2. clutch is tripped. A set of stuffer forks engage to sweep the preformed flake into the bale chamber. The plunger sweeps the pre-formed flake of hay 3. off the stuffer forks on the compression stroke and compresses it forming the bale. Five simple chain drives perform all operating • functions, for greater reliability and less maintenance. The packer drive and the pickup drive are slip • clutch protected, while the stuffer drive, knotter assemblies and needle drive are shear bolt protected. An AutoLube knotter-lube system, which is • adjustable from the in-cab monitor to match crop and field conditions, reduces knotter maintenance. A rugged, dual-reduction (LB33B and LB34B) • or triple-reduction (LB44B) gearbox is standard in all gearboxes, which now features higher speed for greater capacity, trasmits power from the tractor PTO to the baler without the need for extra chain drives and maintenance. A heavy, stress-relieved flywheel, which incorporates an overrunning clutch and adjustable slip clutch, helps maintain plunger momentum, while reducing vibration and shock loads to the tractor. How it works123We’re up to the ChallengeProven Performance in three sizesModel lb33bIf you own a 120-horsepower (90 kW) tractor with dual hydraulic outlets, you already have everything you need to move up to big bales with the Challenger LB33B. Despite its size, this versatile model is packed with Challenger big baler features that culminate in uniform bales that measure 34.4 inches (874 mm) X 31.5 inches (800 mm) and up to 98.4 inches (2,499 mm) in length. Whether you use the LB33B to package hay bales up to 1,000 pounds (454 kg); straw bales to 600 pounds (272 kg) or silage bales to 1,500 pounds (680 kg), you’ll find the bales can be easily handled with the same tractor and loader you’d typically use for round bales. Yet, they’re much easier to feed…or load onto a truck three wide and three high for maximum payloads. For even more versatility, the LB33B can be equipped with an optional pre-cutter, roller bale chute, pan chute, steerable tandem axle, knotter fan or the Model BA3 bale accumulator. While 21.5L X 16.1 ribbed flotation tires are standard, options also include 600/50-22.5 flotation tires or steerable tandem axles with 500/50-17 tires.6“With my custom baling business, I put up everything from straw to silage bales, so I need balers with maximum adaptability”Model lb34bA favorite of producers who often ship hay long distances, the Challenger LB34B produces solid bales that measure 34.4 inches (874 mm) X 47.2 inches (1,200 mm) by up to 98.4 inches (2,500 mm) long. Weighing up to 1,500 pounds (680 kg) in hay and 1,000 pounds (454 kg) in straw, bales stack two wide by three high for maximum truck payloads. The LB34B is also big on custom features that improve profitability on a custom or commercial basis, including a new hydraulically driven knotter fan. Choose the recutter option and cut the cost of hay grinding and TMR mixing time. Or use the LB34B to put up high-quality, extra palatable silage bales that weigh up to 2,000 pounds (908 kg). Flotation tires spread the load…or order the factory-installed steerable tandem axle with four 500/50-17 flotation tires.Small fields? No problem. The low-profile 89-inch (2,260 mm) pickup will reach out to gather in wide windrows, even on tight turns. A bale ejector is also standard.Model lb44bPack up to 2,000 pounds (908 kg) of dry hay or 1,400 pounds (636 kg) of straw into a single bale with the Model LB44B. This serious, heavy-duty machine produces solid, consistent, square-shouldered bales that measure 50 inches (1,270 mm) X 47.2 inches (1,200 mm) by up to 108 inches (2,743 mm) in length. Thanks to their larger size, these “4 X 4” bales continue to make the perfect truckload for hundreds of producers who sell and ship hay and straw. Stacked two wide and two high, it takes as little as 20 bales and a few minutes to load a semi-trailer to maximum payload.Productivity starts at the low-profile, 89-inch (2,260 mm) pickup with heavy, curved teeth that rakes in crop that other balers miss. Upper and lower stub augers quickly feed the crop into the pre-compression chamber for greater volume and increased capacity.VerSatILeRectangulaR baleRs7We’re up to the ChallengeeFFICIent8ba accumulators cut time, fuel & laborSave time and field travel, while reducing compaction with a Challenger big bale accumulator. Designed specifically for the LB Series large rectangular balers, Challenger’s BA3 and BA4 accumulators allow the baler operator to collect and group bales anywhere in the field for faster, easier loading at the end of the day. Although they differ in size and capacity, both models share a number of productivity features that improve efficiency: A bale shift bar automatically or manually moves bales right or left • to maintain a balanced load. Dual caster wheels provide extra flotation and allow the • accumulator to make sharp turns in the field. A centralized lubrication system, which includes a grease divider • valve, allows the operator to lubricate 12 different points from one location. Model ba3Designed specifically for the LB33 and LB33B baler, the Challenger BA3 accumulator collects up to five dry or high-moisture silage bales at a time. Or fold the side extensions when narrower width is needed and use the BA3 as a three-bale accumulator for baling narrow windrows, baling along fencelines or while moving between fields. Model ba4The Challenger Model BA4 is the perfect partner for any LB34, LB34B, LB44 or LB44B baler. Designed to carry up to three bales, it can even be equipped with an optional kit to weigh bales as they are produced in the field. Control and monitoring functions utilize the same Console I monitor as the baler for extra convenience and space savings.

They’re hard enough to handle by hand, but throw one on the conveyor or ahead of a mechanical bale loader and the whole process is stopped.Put a Challenger SB Series rectangular baler in the field, though, and you can expect solid, brick-shaped bales day in and day out. built-In PerformanceQuality bales start with quality design. That’s why every Challenger SB Series baler features a high-strength steel mainframe, axles and hitch, and welded box frame construction. The obvious benefit is unmatched durability and longevity. However, the solid, center-line design plays an even bigger role in productivity and hay quality.superior by designThanks to their innovative center-line design, SB Series balers follow directly behind the tractor in the same manner as a round baler or large rectangular baler. As a result, there’s no side twisting on the frame or tongue, as there can be with an offset design. More importantly, the center-line design leaves the crop nowhere to go but straight into the bale. Crop flow • As crop enters the pickup, centering augers smoothly move it to the center, where it’s collected by the stuffer.• Crop is moved directly into the pre-forming chamber, where it is pre-compressed into a slice or flake.• The stuffer moves the pre-formed flake into the bale chamber, where the plunger compresses it into the bale. Since hay is fed into the bottom of the chamber, instead of the side, nutritious leaves are equally distributed to each side of the bale. You’ll get rock-solid, square-sided bales that feature consistent density from end to end.superior Center-line designEqual weight distribution from side to side.• Equal size tires on both sides help reduce ground • compaction. Attached bale wagons tow in line with the tractor drawbar, • eliminating side draft. The 9-ft. (2.7 m) maximum towing width allows • for transport. Road and field positions are one in the same, for • more productivity. There’s no need to “back bale” or move bales when opening • a field. Greater maneuverability in the field and out of the field.• “My whole market revolves around small bales that are stacked and loaded with mechanized equipment; so consistency is vital. I don’t have any use for banana-shaped bales.”12For even more convenience and productivity, add an optional hydraulic pickup lift, hydraulic bale thrower and/or hydraulic bale density control. Model sb44Challenger offers a new definition for capacity in the Model SB44. With its 16 in. (406 mm) X 18 in. (457 mm) bale chamber and wide, 77.5-inch (1.96 m) pickup, it’s already become a favorite of high-volume hay producers and custom operators who demand big productivity and maximum payloads. Yet, it offers the easy handling of a two-twine bale.You’ll find plenty of performance extras on the SB44, including hydraulic bale density, 31 X 13.5-15 flotation tires and eight sealed ball bearing plunger rollers. two bale Sizes... three better-built modelsModel sb34The SB34 may have been designed for the economy minded producer; but don’t let that fool you. With its low-profile, 75.9-in. (1.9 m) pickup, it’s still loaded with plenty of quality features, like the four-ball twine box and the 100 spm plunger speed that adds to the capacity and productivity. The 14 in. (356 mm) X 18 in. (457 mm) bales are solid, too. Model sb36For those who need a little more capacity for custom work or larger acreage, Challenger offers the Model SB36. It, too, features a 14 in. (356 mm) X 18 in. (457 mm) bale chamber, a 100-spm plunger and a 75.9-in. (1.9 m) pickup.However, its heavy-duty construction also incorporates eight sealed ball-bearing plunger rollers; a total of four tine bars and 112 tines on the pickup; a six-ball twine box and a torque limiter on the pickup assembly. reLIabLeRectangulaR baleRsWe’re up to the Challenge 13throw Productivity into high gearFor the ultimate in time and labor savings, the SB34 and SB36 models can be outfitted with a Challenger bale thrower that ensures full wagon loads every time. Hydraulic direction and distance control allow the operator to fill a towed wagon from side to side and front to back, saving time and fuel in the field. Two hydraulically-driven diamond tread belts grip the bale as soon as it clears the bale chamber, so belts can’t burn or break the twine. A tractor-mounted variable speed control puts distance management at your fingertips, while direction is handled with a single hydraulic remote lever. Meanwhile, the thrower is powered by its own hydraulic system driven directly off the baler flywheel. 14MOdel sb34 sb36 sb44 dIMensIOns and WeIgHTs Design In-line In-line In-line Overall width: in.
