Matchbox-K9-CLASS Combine Harvast
CLAAS, a European company, has been producing combines for 90 years. As a leading manufacturer, CLASS has pioneered many important combine developments.
Over 60 different toys and models have been produced of the combines that CLAAS has developed during its history. By the early 1960s, demand for higher performance machines from farmers resulted in CLAAS launching the Giant Matador. It had a 87 hp six cylinder engine and 3.0 metre wide table. Lesney was the first toy manufacturer to produce a model of this combine. Like Lesney’s Massey Ferguson 780 it was sold as part of the King Size series. The toy had ground-driven reel and movable unloading auger to improve its play value. It had CLAAS decals and was produced in two basic colours – green, and red, not a CLAAS colour. I have only green model.
