Claas Markant baler

Claas Markant baler

When bales of straw shot onto harvest trailers like torpedoes

Valued as dependable, the machine operated somewhat as a convenient catapult during the harvest. Tightly strapped bales, which, to boot, were thrown onto the bale trailer in a high arch – that was something entirely new back then and made work substantially less burdensome. The Claas baler Markant 40" has been among those that have accompanied this development since the early seventies and fits seamlessly into the well-established 1:87 classic range as a "modern classic" agricultural machine. WIKING’s large selection of tractors ensures that collectors will have no problem finding a match for the “Markant 40”, allowing them to pair baler and tractor for the creation of authentic scenes. This option injects new life into the agricultural theme at WIKING, as model fans have always held the philosophy of attention to detail in high regard."
