Bizon

The Bizon Z040 was introduced in 1971 as the successor to the Polish national combine harvester Vistula. However, production only began in 1973. The Z040 shared many technical similarities with the Clayson M133. The engine was a 6-cylinder Leyland manufactured under license. The harvester's color was initially red but later changed to orange. A later export model was known as the Z043, and in Sweden, the model was sold under the designation KZS-3 Standard. The equipment was quite extensive, including, among other things, hydraulic reel height and speed adjustment, hydrostatic steering, and adjustable sieves.

In 1973, the 5-walker Z050 was introduced alongside the Z040, also known as the Bizon Super. This harvester was often equipped with a sun canopy, but a wide, fully enclosed cab was also available at an early stage. Unlike the smaller model, the steering column was adjustable. A typical accessory was also a header transport trailer. Later, the Super was also available with Linden hydrostatic drive and equipped with an Agro-Comga loss meter. Sweden also sold the “designed for the American market” Bizon America, which featured, among other things, a larger grain tank, bigger tires, a hydraulically rotatable discharge pipe, and a loss meter as standard. In the USA and some American countries, this model was sold under the name Long 5000. Parallel models to the Z040 and Z050 were the Z042 and Z052, which featured hydraulic reel rotation.

Import of the Bizon Super to Finland began in 1975. Prior to that, they had been sold in Sweden, Denmark, the USA, Brazil, Spain, and Iran.

In 1976, the improved Z056 Super was introduced, which remained in production until 1994. The parallel model exported to developing countries (mainly Tunisia) was the Z057 Super, which did not have a grain tank.

In 1980, the more powerful Z058 Rekord was introduced alongside it. In 1987, an improved cab was introduced. The factory was privatized in 1992 and became owned by New Holland in 1998. The Z058, which had changed color to blue, was still in production as the manufacturing of the TC series moved to Poland.

Bizon Z040 – Z058 Rekord

In 1987, Bizon introduced a more powerful 5-cylinder model, the BS-Z110. The engine power was increased to 150 horsepower, and the cutting width was standard at 5 meters. In 1990, the power rose to 220 horsepower. Alongside the red standard model, a blue export model, the BS-5110, was introduced, which had more extensive standard equipment, including a multifunction handle. From 1994 onwards, the export models also used the 240-horsepower Sisu Diesel engine. In 1997, a new cabin was introduced.

Bizon BS-Z110

The Sampo manufactured under a Bizon license is known by the names Bizon-Sampo 2020 and Z140. The first model years were red, but the pictures from a Swedish brochure from 1996 already show a blue combine. Although the combine's model designation is 2020, it corresponds more to the model 2025. The engine is turbocharged, the cutting table is 3.1 meters wide, and the drive transmission is hydrostatic.

Bizon Z140

The 6-cylinder Bizon Gigant was the largest combine harvester in Europe when it came onto the market in 1976. The engine was an 11-liter Leyland, the width of the threshing mechanism was 158 cm, and the grain tank capacity was 50 hectoliters. Instead of a drum conveyor, the grain was transported to the threshing drum by augers. The hydraulics were made by Danfoss, and the drive transmission was Linde in the Z060 and Sunstrund in the Z061. The maize headers were made under Claas license. Standard equipment included a loss meter and a cab. The successor to the Z060 Gigant was the Z083 Gigant introduced in 1986, in which the augers were replaced by a drum conveyor. The factory’s next large combine harvester after that was the New Holland TX67.
