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.
