Thanks @CPF . It's interesting that this sort of stuff is available. I was hoping someone was going to say that Claas had it as an option up until the '90s or something, just in terms of the era I might realistically buy a combine from!

Would not be a big engineering job to put a chaff blower on the combine , just like they did on old threshing machines .

Thanks @Wilkster . Do you or anyone else know if other more mainstream (in the UK) combines ever had this option, i.e. Claas / NH etc. ? And when did it stop being something that they had?
I was only ever aware of the Laverda having this option. I did once see a John Deere with a blower attachment and it pulled a small silage trailer behind to collect the screening but I guess this was a farmer’s modification.

years ago you could buy a clayson130 with a cleaner on it i know of one but they took it off because it slowed it down
