John Deere MD 330 – MD 430

After John Deere purchased Lanz, the combines were also named John Deere through an intermediate phase as John Deere Lanz. The model range introduced in 1964 initially bore the combined name, at least in the German market. The combines had low-power engines, which were now John Deere's own instead of Perkins and Mercedes. The MD 330 was available not only with a diesel engine but also with a VW industrial engine. Compared to the preceding models, the diameter of the threshing drum was significantly increased to 61 centimeters, and there were three forward gears. Power steering was available as an optional extra.

Alongside these models, at the end of the 1960s, the smallest of the previous series, the MD 150 equipped with a 175-centimeter cutting table, was still in production. Similarly, the MD 330 remained in production even after the introduction of the 900 series.
