[1] Approximately 35,000 units of the Matador series combine harvester were made from 1961 to 1969.
Like the Selbstfahrer, the Matador was targeted at agricultural contractors and large farms with an arable area of more than 40 ha (0.15 sq mi).
Within one hour, the Matador Gigant can harvest up to 0.5–1.1 ha (6,000–13,200 sq yd) when moving at speeds of 2–4.5 km/h (1.2–2.8 mph).
Back in 1963, Claas sold the Matador Gigant for DM 34,130.
Smaller combine harvesters were produced on a separate production line.
