The rapeseed cutter is an essential attachment to optimize rapeseed harvesting with your combine harvester. This lateral extension significantly boosts efficiency by reducing seed loss and preventing blockages during harvest. Our selection of used rapeseed cutters includes various drive types: 12V electric, hydraulic, and mechanical. Compatible with all major combine brands such as Claas, John Deere, and New Holland, these attachments ensure a clean and precise cut.
Used Rapeseed Cutters: Wide Selection for Combines
Our extensive range of used rapeseed cutters meets the specific needs of every farm. Whether you seek a model with a 12V electric system or a high-performance hydraulic version, our refurbished equipment offers excellent value for money.
Each cutter includes a robust cutting bar designed to withstand the intensive conditions of harvesting. Electric models are distinguished by their ease of installation, while hydraulic versions provide greater power for dense crops.
Our expertise allows us to offer thoroughly tested and inspected equipment, guaranteeing long-term reliability. Refurbished cutters from our workshops undergo strict quality control before sale. This approach ensures farmers make a controlled investment without compromising harvest performance.
Rapeseed Cutters by Drive Type
- The 12V electric power supply provides managed energy consumption of 400 to 450 watts maximum.
- Hydraulically driven models achieve a high cutting rate of up to 1200 strokes per minute.
- The Z rn mechanical drive operates via a belt directly linked to the cutting movement.
- Electric cutters only require connection to the combine harvester battery.
- Hydraulic drive is especially suited for farms with high-density rapeseed stems.
- Mechanical versions weigh just 22 kg thanks to their aluminum structure.
- Hydraulic power allows operation independent of the machine's forward speed.
12V Electric Cutters with Motor and Blade
12V electric cutters are favored for their easy installation and reliability. Their compact motor delivers a clean cut without complex hydraulic connections. For optimal setup, the rapeseed cutter mounts on the sides of the Cutting Bar to neatly divide the crop material.
Operation relies on a 300W to 450W motor connected to the electric system. It drives a belt that powers two sectional blades. This mechanism is vital for rapeseed harvesting as it provides a clean vertical cut, drastically reducing seed loss and blockage risks to secure yield long term.
These models require minimal maintenance. Simply check the condition of the rapeseed cutter motor brushes and the rapeseed cutter connector. If necessary, the rapeseed cutter electrical diagram helps troubleshooting. An electronic regulation also protects the motor against overloads.
Available in right and left versions (height 1.35 m), these units, like the John Deere Rapeseed Cutter, fit each machine perfectly. Their controlled weight (30 to 42 kg) does not affect the combine harvester's balance while ensuring maximum efficiency.
Hydraulic Cutters for Vario Cutting Platforms
- Perfectly adapted to Vario cutting platforms thanks to specially designed mounts.
- Consistent hydraulic power independent of the combine harvester's engine speed.
- Enhanced vibration resistance through reinforced structure suited for flexible cutters.
- Optimized hydraulic flow allowing simultaneous operation with other Vario equipment.
- Built-in protection against overpressure during cutter maneuvers.
- Quick hydraulic connections compatible with existing Vario platform circuits.
- Performance maintained even with varying inclinations of the flexible cutting bar.
Mechanical Z rn Cutters Without Connection
The Z rn mechanical cutters revolutionize the traditional approach with their belt drive system. This proven technology directly draws movement from the existing cutting bar, eliminating any need for electrical or hydraulic connections. Installation takes just a few minutes and is very straightforward.
Their German design emphasizes robustness with a double blade ensuring a clean and consistent cut. The lightweight models preserve your combine's overall balance while delivering steady performance. This mechanical setup provides remarkable reliability, even after several seasons of intensive use.
The complete absence of electronic components is a major advantage for maintenance. There is no risk of electrical failure or hydraulic issues disrupting your most critical harvest operations.
Compatibility by Combine Brand
- Universal mounts fit all traditional cutting platforms without major modification.
- Claas Lexion and Tucano accept 12V electric cutters with direct auxiliary power connection.
- John Deere S and T series sometimes require a specific adaptation kit depending on the manufacturing year.
- New Holland CR and CX natively include hydraulic connections for fluid-powered cutters.
- Fendt Ideal benefits from optimized mounting with factory-prepared supports from 2019 onwards.
- Case IH Axial-Flow requires prior verification of electrical compatibility depending on the model.
- Massey Ferguson MF Activa series offers full versatility with all cutter types available.
Claas, New Holland, and John Deere
These three manufacturers dominate the European market and benefit from optimized compatibility with most used rapeseed cutters. Claas Lexion models since 2020 feature reinforced auxiliary connectors that perfectly support 450W electric cutters. Their modular design significantly eases installation without specialized tools.
New Holland emphasizes universality with its CR and CX platforms accommodating electric and hydraulic drives interchangeably. John Deere prioritizes native integration on recent series, with pre-equipped brackets that cut installation time by half. This manufacturer’s approach guarantees longer durability of mounts, even under intensive use in rough terrain.
Matrot, Ziegler, and Other Brands
Specialized brands like Matrot and Ziegler adopt a different philosophy by offering custom solutions especially suited for mid-sized farms. These manufacturers favor simple installation with universal mounting systems that avoid technical constraints typical of large industrial groups.
Matrot stands out with remarkable adaptability on older combines where standard solutions reach their limits. Ziegler offers customizable mounting kits that perfectly fit unusual configurations. This flexibility provides a significant advantage for machines over ten years old or less common models.
Other manufacturers like Berry France or Perrard complement this range with ultra-light cutters weighing under 25 kg. Their aluminum structure preserves the balance of sensitive cutting bars while maintaining a high cutting rate up to 1200 strokes per minute.
The rapeseed cutter significantly improves your harvest by reducing seed loss and preventing blockages that slow down your combine. It provides a clean cut of the plants, increases your yield, and enables threshers to work more efficiently thanks to better crop conditioning.
Installing a used rapeseed cutter first requires verifying its compatibility with your combine harvester. Attach the support to the cutting bar according to the manufacturer's instructions, then connect the electric or hydraulic power supply depending on the model. Test the operation before first use and adjust the position to optimize cutting.
No, not all rapeseed cutters are universally compatible with every combine. Some models fit most machines thanks to standardized mounts, while others require supports specific to your combine brand. Check the cutter's technical specifications and your user manual to confirm compatibility before purchase.
Buying a used rapeseed cutter offers an attractive price compared to new, allowing you to equip your combine at a lower cost. You benefit from immediate availability of the equipment and excellent value for money, particularly appealing for farms seeking to optimize their budget while enhancing harvest performance.
Regularly check the wear of the motor brushes by removing the cover of the electric motor. Replace them when their length is less than 5 mm or if you notice excessive sparking. Clean the contacts with a fine wire brush and ensure the springs maintain proper pressure on the commutator.
The electrical diagram is included in the user manual supplied with your rapeseed cutter, often under the maintenance section. Contact the manufacturer or your agricultural dealer who can provide you with the complete technical documentation. Manufacturer websites also offer downloadable manuals when you enter your model reference.
