Lanz MD 260 S

The development of the first Lanz combine harvester started in the 30-ies and the breakout of the war postponed the completion of the machine project until 1953, when the first MD 180 combine was put into production. In the same year the project of the Lanz MD 260 S model was introduced and its production followed in 1954.
