The Schuitemaker Rapide 2000 SW is a platform trailer forage wagon manufactured by Schuitemaker, a Dutch builder of precision forage harvesting and transport equipment. This machine is designed for harvesting, chopping, and transporting grass, silage, and similar agricultural materials on mixed and livestock farms.
This 2008 model is presented in very good condition and is equipped with a comprehensive specification suited to professional forage operations. The wagon features a hydraulically driven axle system with forced steering and a next-generation rotor fitted with load sensing technology. Intake capacity is managed through a hydraulic chopping gate and three metering rollers. The pickup is a six-row trailed unit with 2 metre intake width and mechanical unload relief, driven by a hydraulically powered feed roller positioned ahead of the pickup. Four pickup support wheels and pickup carrier wheels support the assembly. The machine is fitted with 710/50 R26.5 tyres at approximately 90 per cent tread depth.
The hopper volume is approximately 43 cubic metres, expanding to 65 cubic metres under medium compression, with an authorised total weight of 22 tonnes. The rotor is equipped with 44 knives, each set to a theoretical cut length of 44 millimetres, and blades are changed from the front while standing. The auger shaft is secured to 1800 Newton-metres. A split-floor conveyor drive with flat-link chain runs the full length of the hopper, making the machine suitable for wood chips and comparable materials.
Key mechanical features include a horizontal hitch, compressed-air brakes (ALB regulator, four-wheel equipped), hydraulic support foot, and articulated drawbar with hydraulic suspension. The control console is from the newer series. External and interior lighting are fitted. Many hydraulic hoses are new, and the hydraulic motor and bearing assembly for the feed roller are new. The machine is located in Germany and is priced at 46,398 USD (38,990 EUR net plus 19 per cent VAT).
