Laverda M 60 – M 90

The first Italian combine harvester was the Laverda M 60, introduced in 1956. Laverda had already gained a reputation in export markets with, among other things, its mowers and binders, and the export market for its combine harvesters also got off to a good start. The model number M 60 referred to the width of the threshing drum. The engine was a 1.9-liter Fiat diesel. The structure of the combine had similarities to Massey-Harris machines: for example, the engine was located between the front wheels, and the discharge pipe of the optional grain tank was similar. In the brochure, the combine was depicted with dual wheels.

In the following years, the M 60 was followed by the larger M 90 and the intermediate model M 75. The M 90 had a 61-horsepower OM diesel engine, and the later M 90 B had 66 hp.
