John Deere-Lanz MD 150 S – MD 250 S

In the early 1960s, JD-Lanz entered the market for the smallest combine harvesters, competing with the Claas Columbus, MF 630, Fahr M40, and Bautz T600. Like most of its competitors, the MD 150 S was equipped with a 29-horsepower VW industrial engine. Later, a 1.8-liter Perkins diesel was also offered. The cutting width was 175 cm. The raising of the cutting table and the unloading auger was hydraulic. The threshing mechanism was a one-piece throwing threshing drum. Unlike earlier Lanz models, the grain sieve was adjustable.

The MD 250 S was introduced as the successor to the MD 25 S with minor changes. The engine was still a 4-cylinder Perkins diesel.

Above these models, in the early 1960s, American JD combines were introduced to some European countries.
