In Claas’s lineup, the only small self-propelled combine harvester had been the Huckepack, which was based on a 12/15-horsepower work machine carrier onto which the threshing machine was installed. In 1958, the Columbus and Europa models were introduced, equipped with an 80 cm wide threshing mechanism. The cutting width was 180 or 210 cm in the Columbus and 240 cm in the Europa. The engine was a VW industrial engine (27 or 38 hp) or a Perkins diesel. The Europa had longer threshing bars; otherwise, the dimensions were mostly similar.
Claas combines featured long, adjustable straw walkers. The height adjustment of the cutter bar and the feeding drum was hydraulic. Grain was transferred to the threshing drum by a shaker conveyor. The upper sieve was adjustable, and the lower sieve was replaceable. Optional accessories included a chopper or a baler. The engine was located next to the driver on the right side. The drive speed variator was hydraulically adjustable. Claas machines were true mass-production machines: 33,000 Columbus units and 32,000 Europa units were manufactured.
