AGCO® CORPORATION IS A WORLDWIDE PROVIDER OF AGRICULTURAL SOLUTIONS THAT GIVE FARMERS THE CONFIDENCE AND CONTROL THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS, IT’S BEEN OUR MISSION TO BECOME A SINGLE RESOURCE FARMERS CAN DEPEND ON FOR INNOVATIVE, LEADING-EDGE FARMING SOLUTIONS, EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY.

Constantly sharing the kinds of insight and technology that drive continuous innovation and help farmers succeed. Each one of our storied brands provides technologies that help farmers maximize yield, reduce loss and conserve the resources that are so important to meeting the world’s growing need for food, fuel and fiber. We understand the world of agriculture is constantly changing, and farming can be unpredictable. We also believe farmers appreciate having the expertise, confidence and control to be as productive as they can be, regardless of the task at hand. We’re committed to using our category-specific know-how to constantly deliver better thinking and better equipment that gives farmers that confidence and control. “ CHALLENGER® REALLY GIVES ME MORE INTELLIGENT FARMING SOLUTIONS.” 1889 1904 1908 1925 Benjamin Holt and Initial test of the Introduces first Holt Manufacturing Daniel Best introduce Holt track-type tractor steel-tracked crawler Company and CL Best the first steam traction and creation of the tractor Tractor Company merge to engine Caterpillar trademark form Caterpillar Tractor Co. CHALLENGER LINEUP: TRACTORS: High-horsepower COMBINE HARVESTING: Axial rotary HAY AND FORAGE: Round balers, row crop, track, articulated combines, flexible draper heads, corn square balers, self-propelled four-wheel drive heads, flex heads, pick-up heads windrowers, draper headers, disc headers, sickle headers, mowers, conditioners From the time Caterpillar® introduced the world’s first track tractor designed to minimize compaction, the Challenger® brand has been shaping farmers’ expectations of what innovative, high-performance machines should be. Though Challenger history is rooted in that legendary track technology, it has also grown to represent wheeled tractors, combine harvesters, balers and application equipment, some of which are equally legendary — or are about to be — in their own right. Simple, smart innovations set Challenger apart. Things like fewer total moving parts than the competition extend service life and reduce downtime. And the combination of a clutchless, shiftless continuously variable transmission (CVT) and Dynamic Tractor Management (DTMTM) system ensures the optimum balance of power and fuel efficiency, regardless of terrain and conditions. The new Challenger 1000 Series of tractors is unlike any we’ve ever manufactured. The world’s first 500+ engine HP, fixed-frame tractor delivers more intuition, efficiency and power to the ground. It also delivers the power and maneuverability to handle both grueling tillage work and intricate row crop applications. So not only does one tractor do the work of two, it also saves you money. That’s intelligent farming. And that’s why Challenger is an AGCO brand. challenger-ag.us 1931 1976 1979 1987 2002 2016 Introduces diesel engine Invents sealed and Introduces first Introduces the AGCO acquires the assets of Introduces first 500+ lubricated track rubber-tracked tractor Mobil-tracTM system Caterpillar’s agricultural equipment engine HP fixed-frame business, primarily the design, tractor Introduces differential assembly and marketing of steering Challenger track tractors agcocorp.com | 5 “ PEOPLE TALK ABOUT FENDT® BEING HIGH TECH.
