Here is the requested translation to English:

In Massey Ferguson’s North American lineup in the late 1980s, there were only rotor combines originating from White. To complement the range, it was decided to purchase walker combines from Claas. The 8450 corresponded most closely to the 98, and the 8460 to the Claas 108. The engines were older versions from Mercedes-Benz, and the headers were American-made by MF. Contrary to MF's usual practice, the Mercedes-Benz engines were used as a marketing advantage, and Claas’ role as the manufacturer of the combine was also strongly highlighted in the early brochures. A hillside cleaning system was available as an optional accessory.
