Known for its tankless slurry spreading, Listech distributes the forage harvesters Challenger from the Turkish manufacturer Celikel.
They have a Folding chute pivoting through 360 degrees and can be fitted with an extension if required, a spout with one or two rotors, and a cutterhead with 12 knives, whose axis is parallel to the direction of travel, providing both cutting and blowing. The rotational speed is hydraulically regulated and allows the cutting length to be varied: 3 to 10 mm on the three smaller models, 4,3 to 33 mm on the Challenger 4.
Requiring 40 hp, the Challenger 1 forage harvester is mounted, cuts one row on the right side of the tractor, and rests on a wheel that controls the cutting height. Requiring 75 hp, the Challenger 2 has the same design, with a rotor spout that cuts two rows. Capable of operating at 540, 750 and 1 000 rpm, it is distinguished by its chassis, which also allows it to work in reverse or on the front linkage.

Mounted on the tractor’s front or rear three-point hitch (in reverse-drive configuration), the Challenger 3 forage harvester requires 110 hp. Operating at 540 or 1 000 rpm, it has two rotors that cut three rows.
With a minimum of 140 hp, the Challenger 4 forage harvester, mounted on the front or rear three-point hitch (in reverse-drive configuration), cuts four rows.
Celikel also offers a range of grass forage harvesters, particularly for green forage feeding, called Calabria. Cutting widths of 150, 180 or 210 cm, these machines have a rotor with four rows of movable knives.
