Sampo 10

The completely new Sampo 10 was introduced at the end of 1965. With its 7" cutting width, the 10 was positioned below the 892 in the model range. The 792, which had been removed from the lineup, had a threshing cylinder width of 90 cm instead of the 10's 78 cm. The engine was placed low on the right side. The grain tank capacity was 12 hectoliters, and the bottom auger of the tank could be pulled out for cleaning. In addition to the tank, the combine harvester was equipped with a bagging device. The engine was the Perkins 4.107, which was also used in the 792 and 892 models. The last units already had a 3-cylinder Valmet engine, which was introduced in the 10’s successor, the 20 model. The cutting table's drive was separate from the threshing mechanism. The speed and distance of the lifting reel could be adjusted from the operator's seat. The travel speed variator was hydraulic. Moving parts were enclosed under angular protective covers. During the era of the Sampo 10, the domestic combine harvester market share rose to nearly 50%.
