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.
