Used Combine Harvester Elevator

196 available products

The bucket elevator transports threshed grain to the combine harvester's grain tank. On a worn elevator, cracked buckets or stretched chain reduce flow rate and increase grain loss during peak harvest. TMC Bejenne offers a wide range of grain handling parts, including buckets, chains, and elevator belts, sourced from the dismantling of combine harvesters of all brands and thoroughly checked in our workshop before shipment.

Bucket Elevator: Role and Operation on a Combine Harvester

The bucket elevator receives clean grain after cleaning, following threshing and separation. A bucket chain conveys the grain along a vertical casing up to the grain tank. Each bucket, attached by rivets or bolts to the chain, must maintain its shape and seal to prevent grain from falling back into the casing. Most combine harvesters have two elevators: one for clean grain, and a second for returning cleaning grain to be re-threshed.

TMC Bejenne: Elevator Parts Available for Your Combine Harvester

  • Complete grain elevators or spare parts
  • Elevator buckets in plastic or metal, all sizes
  • Elevator chains complete or by link
  • Drive belts and pulleys
  • Tensioners, bearings, and bushings for casings
  • Casings, inspection covers, and bottoms for casings
  • Drive sprockets and chain wheels

Plastic or Metal Buckets: Which to Choose for Your Combine Harvester Elevator

Plastic buckets are most common: lightweight and quiet, they reduce casing wear but are vulnerable to heavy impacts from foreign objects. Metal buckets better withstand stones and hard residues, at the cost of more noise and added weight on the chain. The choice mostly depends on the crop type and field conditions, whether rocky or not. TMC Bejenne offers both options, subject to availability of dismantled parts.

Maintaining the Grain Elevator Before Harvest Season

  • Check chain tension ensuring no excessive slack or tight spots
  • Lubricate casing bearings and bushings at season start
  • Verify bucket alignment to avoid rubbing against walls
  • Inspect casings and inspection covers for leaks
  • Listen for smooth operation without jerks before first field run

Why Choose a Used Combine Harvester Elevator from TMC Bejenne

TMC Bejenne has been dismantling John Deere , Case IH , New Holland and Massey Ferguson combine harvesters since 1945. Every elevator part is disassembled, tested, and inspected in our workshop before resale, with over 25,000 references available. Choosing used parts offers significant savings compared to new ones, without compromising reliability, verified at order. Our technicians provide exact compatibility details based on your combine harvester's model and year.

How to Identify a Worn Elevator or Bucket That Needs Replacement

  • Bucket cracked, pierced, or bent at edges
  • Loose attachment or missing rivet on the chain
  • Elevator chain stretched with excessive play
  • Grain flowing back or falling inside the casing
  • Unusual noise or jerky operation during elevator use

A chain equipped with buckets transports clean grain from the bottom of the casing to the grain tank, after cleaning. It is the component that carries threshed grain for onboard storage.

Lifespan depends on usage and maintenance, but gradual chain elongation or seized links signal upcoming replacement. Checking before each harvest helps avoid downtime during peak season.

Inspect edges for cracks, deformations, or worn attachment points. A damaged bucket leaks grain and reduces elevator throughput. Replacement can be done individually or in batches depending on chain condition.

If only a few buckets are cracked and the chain is still tight, replacing individual buckets is sufficient. However, if the chain shows overall elongation or seized links, it's better to replace it entirely to avoid failure during harvest.

TMC Bejenne offers grain handling parts from John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, and other manufacturers. Each reference is inspected to ensure compatibility with the specific model.
