After Laverdan was fully acquired by Agco, all models used Finnish Agco Power engines, and the Power Flow cutting platform originally developed by Dronningborg was now also available for Laverdan’s largest models. The new M 400 Advanced series was formed from the most powerful models of the former M 300 series. However, this series also included both 5- and 6-rotor options, meaning Laverdan’s model ranges overlapped quite a bit. The M 400 series featured LC parallel models for hillside harvesting as well as the more demanding conditions with a 30-degree tilting Integrale mechanism.

The slightly updated cab controls were named Commodore Cab II, and the operating system was Agco’s GTA II with a 10.5-inch color display.

Just a year later, the series underwent minor updates. The cab was now completely redesigned and named SkylineCab. The operating system had a sharper display, TechTouch, which was essentially Fendt’s Varioterminal. Despite the development, the word Advanced was dropped from the series name. The M 400 series thoroughly represents what is important about Laverdan combines: the appearance is modern, the number of cab options in the series is enormous compared to production volume and they change frequently, the functions and adjustments are extensively electrified even in the cheapest models, and there are hillside harvesting versions available for every need.
