CH Series Corn Heads

Equipped with extra-long polyethylene dividers that feature a 21.5-degree, low-profile entry angle, Challenger® CH corn heads offer easier gathering while reducing crop loss. Fluted snapping rolls, with six reversible edges each, aggressively guide the stalk through the gathering units, while shredding material for a clean, uniform appearance. A 16-inch diameter adjustable auger ensures equally smooth delivery to the feederhouse. Electrically adjusted stripper plates, which are now standard on all models, can be adjusted from the cab to match a change in yield or ear size.

Available in 6-row (30- and 36-inch), 8-row (30-, 36- and 38-inch) and 12-row (20-, 22- and 30-inch) configurations, CH corn heads have both the size and capacity to harvest big fields quickly and effortlessly.

RHB and FHB Series Auger Headers

Whether you need the ground-hugging capabilities of an FHB Series flex header or the solid performance of an RHB Series rigid header, there’s a Challenger model to fit your application. Choose the size that fits your operation, from 20 ft (6.0 m) up to the 35 ft (10.6 m) large models for really big jobs, Challenger has the size you need.
   
Regardless of the model and series, you’ll benefit from curved reel arms with fine reel height adjustment; hydraulic reel drive with automatic speed control; fore/aft reel adjustment, and a large, 30 in. (762 mm) diameter full finger conveyor auger with 7 in. (178 mm) deep flighting. Together, they ensure smooth, uniform feeding; high-capacity harvesting, and a potential reduction in crop loss assured with an innovative Schumacher sickle drive for smoother operation, greater reliability and less shatter loss.

A new orbit reel option allows for an even closer path of the fingers to increase the flow of material from the cutterbar to the auger as it reduces the “dead spot” area not cleaned by traditional reels.  

PH Series Pickup Headers

Challenger® PH Series pickup headers offer a cost-effective way to gather windrowed crops on their own merits. But we also offer a number of options to further improve productivity in differing applications. Select either the 13 ft. (3.9 m) or 15 ft. (4.5 m) model and take your choice of a 14 ft. (4.2 m) or 16 ft. (4.8 m) Swathmaster attachment, which features a conventional design with plastic teeth, or a rake-type pickup attachment that sweeps the crop in at an angle. With either option, a 24” (610 mm) diameter floating conveyor auger ensures a smooth flow of material from the pickup attachment to the feeder housing.

DH Series Draper Headers

Whether you prefer a draper header for its big-acreage appetite or for the way it feeds the crop headfirst into the feederhouse, you’ve got several choices in the Challenger® DH Series. Available in 25 ft. (6.1 m), 30 ft. (9.1 m) and 36 ft. (10.9 m) foot cutting widths, DH Series headers also offer a choice of universal U2 pickup or HCC polytine pickup reels to match your specific crop and conditions. All models feature a hydraulic-driven Schumacher (SCH) epicyclic gear drive sickle that operates at 1,200 strokes per minute for fast, clean cutting. Coil springs on the header mounting kit provide both lateral and vertical floatation, independent of the combine, to closely follow field contours.
