Braud

The Braud 600 series gradually replaced the 500 series. First, in 1973, the 605 was introduced, which took the place of the 505. The next models, 603 and 604, were initially part of the lineup alongside the 503 and 504. With the introduction of the 602 in 1976, production of the 500 series ended. As with the 500 series, the two largest models were almost identical to each other, while the two smaller models were clearly smaller. The smaller ones had a 3.86-liter Perkins engine and a 21-hectoliter grain tank. The larger ones had a 5.8-liter engine and a 32-hectoliter tank. The engine sizing of the smaller models was the same as in the 105 from 15 years earlier. The design had been modernized, and the driver’s conditions improved.

Braud 602-605

In its final years, Braud also sold Sampo combine harvesters in France, painted in its own blue color. It no longer had its own model in the 500 size range, but the S600 was more popular among the models.

Braud s500 – s600

In 1976, the Braud 650 and 700 were introduced, new 4-rotor models in which, for the first time in Braud models, the engine was placed behind the grain tank. As with previous series, the width of the threshing drum was 105 cm, but the diameter was increased to 61 centimeters. The engine was a 6-cylinder Perkins. The 700 featured hydrostatic transmission. On both models, the speed and length adjustment of the thrower drum as well as the speed adjustment of the threshing drum were hydraulic.

In 1980, the 5-rotor models 750 and 800 were released, replacing the 701 B and 801 B. These had engines with 152 and 176 horsepower and grain tanks enlarged to 52 hectares. The 800 was hydraulically driven and the 750 mechanically. In 1981, the 755 was introduced, which also had a 176-horsepower engine. The smallest of the series was introduced as the 640, which had a 31-hectare grain tank and a 115 hp engine.

Fiat-Allis purchased Braud in 1982, and combine harvester production ended in 1985. The Braud name lived on in combines designed for harvesting grapes and olives, where New Holland’s French-made products are still the most popular worldwide.

Braud 640-800

Braud's first 5-rotor combine harvesters were the 1970 models 701 and 801. The larger one had a turbocharged engine, hydrostatic transmission, and longer rotors. The cutting platform was at best 6.1 meters wide. The speed and length adjustment of the chute reel as well as the speed adjustment of the threshing reel were hydraulic. The cab was an optional accessory and one of the widest in the history of combine harvesters. The updated models 801 B and 701 B were introduced in 1977 and 1978.

Braud 701-801

As the successor to the Braud 2580, the updated 258 was introduced for the year 1970, which continued at the smaller end of the range throughout the 1970s. The Perkins engine was 11 hp more powerful than before, and the grain tank had increased to 19 hectoliters. The controls were significantly more modern.

Braud 258

In 1967, Braud introduced a larger model, the 505. The width of the 105-centimeter threshing mechanism remained unchanged, but the threshing drums were long and the 32-hectoliter grain tank was large for its time. The engine was a 95-horsepower six-cylinder Perkins, which was still positioned in front of the grain tank. A year later, smaller models were introduced to the 500 series. The 504 had threshing drums slightly shorter than those of the 505 and a smaller engine. The 502 and 503, on the other hand, were significantly smaller in size and more closely related to the 405.

Braud 502-505

Introduced in 1963, the Braud 405 was closely related to the 105 model. The engine was more powerful and the coulters were longer. The engine options were either a 77-horsepower Perkins P6 or an air-cooled, also 6-cylinder, Alsthom diesel.

In 1967, there were two models instead of one. The basic version’s engine was changed to a 4-cylinder and the coulters were shortened. The 6-cylinder 405-6 received a more powerful six-cylinder Perkins engine and longer coulters.

The Frenchman Alexandre Braud founded his agricultural machinery workshop in 1898. Ten years later, the production of threshing machines began, and the first trailed combine harvester was completed in 1935.

The era of the first self-propelled combine came in the autumn of 1955, when the A.2080 was introduced. In the model designation, A stood for self-propelled, 20 for the cutting width, and 80 for the width of the threshing drum. The standard engine was a 1.9-liter Citroën petrol engine (42 hp). Later, a 2.1-liter Renault engine (48 hp) was used. For an additional cost, a 50 hp Perkins diesel was available. There were six gears for harvesting and two for road travel. There was no variator. The threshing drum had six speeds. The parts of the threshing mechanism were galvanized.

The following year, the A.2480 was introduced alongside it, which had a 2.4-meter cutting table.

In spring 1959, an improved version, the A.2480V, was introduced. In this model, both the driving speed and the speed of the threshing drum were adjusted with a variator. Instead of four, there were three straw walkers in the same width space, but their length had been increased. The brakes were now hydraulic.

In 1964, the 2580 became the successor. The brand of petrol engine had changed to Ford (56 hp), and the engine was now placed in front to the right of the cab instead of on the left side. The cutting width was increased to 260 cm. A 13-hectoliter grain tank was standard. The belts and chains were protected.

Braud A.2080-2580

In 1960, Braud introduced the larger A.105, whose threshing capacity was promised to be 30% greater than that of the A.2480. The model designation in this case indicated the width of the threshing cylinder. The cutting table was 2.7…4.0 meters wide, and the Perkins P6 had a power output of 70 hp. The grain tank was still an optional extra, although the design was clearly intended for a combine harvester, and the tank’s capacity of 21 hectoliters was considerable at the time. In the sack version, the grain elevator was the same, and the sack filler had to work on top of the combine.

The updated 105 B model in 1965 was designed to be slightly lower-profile because a new 400 series had been introduced at the larger end. The 105 B had a 60 hp Agrom diesel engine and a 2.8 or 3.1-meter cutting table. The cutting table was new, and the design of the combine was more modern thanks to the enclosed housing.

Braud A.105 – 105 B

The first models of Braud belonged to the then medium size class, so the range could be expanded both downward and upward. True to its name, the A.1865 had a cutting width of 180 cm and a threshing drum of 65 cm. The engine was located at the front beside the cabin. Engine options included a 33 hp Peugeot gasoline engine and diesel engines Perkins 33 hp and CGM 36 hp. The driving speed was adjusted with a variator, but there were four gear options for the threshing drum speed.

In 1963, the A.1865 was replaced by the 2065. The cutting width was increased to 210 cm and the cutter bar was otherwise renewed. Engine options included Peugeot’s 40 hp gasoline and 45 hp diesel engines.
