At the end of 1977, the successor to the S 1550, the 8080, started a new generation of combine harvesters. New Holland invested even more heavily in large combine harvesters. The 8080 and the subsequently introduced 8070 both featured, as standard in Finland, hydrostatic drive transmission, a straw walker, and a chaffer threshing system. The cab was said to be the first in which the joints were made glass against glass. The model range expanded downward annually. The last introduced model, the 8055, is a combination of the technologies from the 8030-8050 and 8060-8080 models. It lacks the straw walker, but the grain tank fills with an elevator, as in the larger models, not with an auger, and the chaff is returned to the straw walker.
