The 900 series new combines were presented in 1973. The most considerable innovation was the use of the straw rake patented by John Deere company. The machinery operating was greatly improved.
In 1976 a line of refinements towards this series was introduced: an engine power was increased, an automatic tension of driving belts were implemented, large-capacity grain tanks in comparison with the previous models.
