Used Combine Harvesters

Used Combine Harvester Prices: Secondhand vs New

Purchasing a combine harvester represents one of the largest investments for a farm. New, a mid-range machine far exceeds the budget of a recent tractor; high-end rotor models reach price levels reserved for large farms or CUMA cooperatives. Thus, buying used is an essential alternative, especially for operations that don’t harvest every year or seek a temporary solution between new purchases.

Affordable Used Combine Harvesters: Accessible Models

The most affordable used combine harvesters typically date from the 1990s to 2005, with high hours or less advanced features than current generations. These models suit small farms, budget-conscious CUMAs, or farmers who renovate their own machines. Claas Dominator, older John Deere series, Massey Ferguson Activa or Delta, Deutz-Fahr 4080H: these machines, less expensive to purchase, can still serve several seasons if properly maintained.

New Combine Harvester Prices: The Case for Used

Compared to new, a used combine harvester offers significant savings, sometimes exceeding half the list price. Factors influencing used prices include machine type (conventional with straw walkers or rotor), brand, year, engine and threshing hours, header width and condition, onboard features (GPS, variable speed, yield sensors), and maintenance history. A well-kept machine with thorough service records commands a higher price than one with similar hours but no history. At TMC Bejenne, every machine is inspected before sale.

Used Claas Combine Harvesters: Lexion, Dominator, Tucano

Claas is one of the most present combine harvester manufacturers in the French agricultural fleet. TMC Bejenne regularly stocks used Claas machines, sold complete or dismantled for parts. Available series cover several decades of production:

• Claas Lexion 5300: a mid-range hybrid threshing machine widely used on medium-sized cereal farms. Used units available with 1,500 to 3,000 hours depending on the year.
• Claas Lexion 6700: a hybrid CEMOS technology model with Dynamic Cooling and automated threshing parameters management. Available with wheels or TERRA TRAC tracks depending on the machine.
• Claas Dominator: the Dominator series (48 to 150, Mega, Cosmos) represent Claas generations before the Lexion. These conventional straw walker models are robust, repairable, and common in the used equipment market.
• Claas Tucano: a compact, high-performance range for medium-sized farms. A Tucano 450 (2013) is currently in TMC Bejenne’s stock.
• Claas Lexion 470 (2003): currently available at TMC Bejenne, representing first-generation Lexions — conventional, reliable, well-proven.

Older and Small Used Combine Harvesters

An older combine harvester generally means a machine manufactured before 2000, sometimes before 1990. These machines often exceed 3,000 threshing hours but remain operational with proper maintenance. Their purchase cost is significantly lower than recent generations. They suit farms harvesting small plots or those seeking a backup machine for peak seasons. Common brands in this segment include Claas (Dominator), Massey Ferguson (Activa, Delta), Deutz-Fahr (4080H, 3790H) and Laverda (M100, M150).

The small used combine harvester — compact, under 200 horsepower, narrow cutting width — fits mixed farms with fragmented parcels or those harvesting alongside primary livestock activities. Trailed combine harvesters, relics from the era before onboard hydraulic power, occasionally appear on the used market in traditional cereal-growing areas. For machines too worn for full resale, TMC Bejenne dismantles them to recover usable parts: see our range of combine harvesters dismantled for parts.

Tracks, Headers and Pick-Up Attachments on Used Combine Harvesters

The value of a used combine harvester largely depends on its equipment. Here are points to check before purchase:

• Tracks or wheels: tracked versions (Claas TERRA TRAC, New Holland tracks) offer better flotation on wet soils and reduce compaction. They hold higher value used but are essential in clay soils or late harvesting conditions.
• Cereal headers: check width (5 to 10 m), condition of knives (blades replaced), reel and auger. A used header in good condition can represent a significant share of the total value.
• Corn or rapeseed headers: verify presence of head adaptations (deflectors, row dividers) and condition of the platform if the machine is sold as multi-purpose.
• Pick-up: essential for harvesting windrows (peas, sunflower, alfalfa). Check tine alignment, platform condition, and adapter compatibility.
• Condition of the conveyor: wear on the elevator chain, slats condition, play in tensioning mechanisms.
• Electronic equipment: GPS, yield sensors, forward speed variator, ISOBUS — verify function and compatibility with your existing systems.
• Used spare parts: if you prefer refurbishing an existing machine rather than buying complete, our range of combine harvesters dismantled for parts offers threshing and cutting components from controlled dismantlings.

Used Combine Harvesters: New Holland, Laverda, Deutz-Fahr, John Deere, and Other Brands

TMC Bejenne dismantles and sells used combine harvesters from all major brands. Stock varies with arrivals; availability per brand should be confirmed directly with our technicians at 05 86 24 00 26.

Used New Holland Combine Harvesters

New Holland manufactures combine harvesters in three ranges: CX series (hybrid straw walker-rotor), CR series (dual axial rotor), and older TX (conventional straw walkers). A 2018 New Holland CX 8.70 is currently in TMC Bejenne’s stock — a recent high-capacity threshing model suitable for large cereal areas. Older TX series (TX 62, TX 68) are more affordable and remain repairable thanks to parts from dismantlings.

Used Laverda Combine Harvesters

Laverda is an historic Italian combine harvester brand, integrated into AGCO group in the 1990s and gradually merged with Massey Ferguson. The most sought-after used models are series M100, M150, M200, and 3690-3900. These conventional machines are known for robustness and equipped many French farms until the 2010s. Laverda parts are often unavailable new; agricultural dismantling is the most reliable source.

Used Deutz-Fahr Combine Harvesters

Deutz-Fahr offers combines under the C range (C5205, C6205, C6210, C7205) for recent models, plus older references like 3790H, 4080H, 4090H, or Deutz-Fahr 1202. These older models from the 1970s-80s remain popular among collectors and small farms. Their parts are often unavailable new; agricultural salvage yards are their main supply outlet.

Used John Deere Combine Harvesters

John Deere offers combine harvesters in three families: W (walker straw walkers), C (belt conveyors), and T (tangential rotors). Current stock at TMC Bejenne includes a 2010 John Deere C670, 2012 T660, and 2008 W540, covering all three threshing types. Older 9000 series (9400, 9500, 9600) occasionally appear from new arrivals.

Used Massey Ferguson Combine Harvesters

Massey Ferguson markets combines in Activa (entry-level), Delta and Cerea (mid and high ranges) series, as well as 7370, 7380, and 9895 models for larger farms. The MF technical platform shares many components with Laverda (same AGCO group), facilitating interchangeability of parts between brands.

Used Fendt and Case IH Combine Harvesters

Fendt has developed its own combine ranges (5220, 5250, 6275 L, 6335 L) based on AGCO platforms, with high-end electronic equipment. These machines are starting to appear on the French used market. Case IH is known for its Axial-Flow axial rotor range (7150, 7230, 8230, 9230), appreciated for its high field throughput on large cereal areas.
