Lamma 2016: Agco updates Challenger Rogator electronics
A more spacious cab with improved visibility and new electronics with increased precision farming capabilities are key features of the RoGator 600D being shown by Agco Challenger.
The Category 4-certified VisionCab is 32cm (22%) wider than the previous design, with more space inside for the training seat and storage box (which can be cooled or heated). It has a windscreen that is almost 90% bigger, giving the operator a much clearer forward view.

Visibility to the booms is also improved, say Challenger engineers, who have also added a new interior, control arm rest, control terminal – a single 10.2in screen replaces twin screens – and new software.
Task documentation with wireless data exchange, variable-rate control, 1m section control and fuse connected services option are all available, together with Agco’s auto-guide steering.
There are three models with tank capacities of 3,800, 5,000 and 6,000 litres, double- and triple-fold steel and aluminium booms from 12/24m to 12/24/36m, and engine outputs of 175hp, 224hp and 242hp.
