Sampo 20-30

Here is the translation of the text into English:

At the end of the 1960s, two models of the yellow Sampoes were available: the 20 and the 30. The differences between them were quite small. The 30 had a wider cutting width and a larger grain tank. In addition, the 30's grain sieve was adjustable, and adjustable divider plates were standard. The technology was mostly the same as in the Sampo 10, introduced three years earlier. The biggest change was the Valmet diesel engine. The engine was located on the right side. The threshing machine’s rotation speed could be selected as either 1000 or 1200 rpm by changing the belt pulley. The distance and rotation speed of the crop lifter drum were adjusted with a lever. The driving speed variator was mechanical.

The picture shows an export model IH-Sampo, which was painted IH red. Through the IH network, combines were sold in the Nordic countries and West Germany. In Germany, the model designation for the 30 was 8-31. Correspondingly, in Finland, since 1968, the 10-foot McCormick 8-41 model was sold under the name Sampo 100, painted yellow. A year later, the model changed to Sampo 110, which corresponded to model 8-51. In it, the engine was a 3.4-liter IH (65 hp) instead of the 3.3-liter Perkins (58 hp).
