‘The perfect all-rounder for large scale farmer/medium contractor’

The Rapide 10 series is the smallest in its segment, but in terms of performance it is not inferior to its bigger brothers. The wagon is equipped with a star shaped rotor and has a pick-up width of 1.80m. As standard, the wagon is equipped with an 18-tonne non-steered pendulum tandem and is braked on 4 wheels.

The unique Rapide Concept

The Schuitemaker Rapide is equipped as standard with a towing pick-up, which is positioned under the wagon. This ensures a more compact construction and there is maximum ground clearance for silage and field work. The towing pick-up with a width of 1.80m runs smoothly over bumps and folds away at obstacles. This ensures optimum ground following.

The Schuitemaker PowerRotor makes the process of foraging smoother, even in the toughest conditions. This means a minimum power requirement and lower fuel consumption. The optimal rotor shape was developed after much research and field testing. Thanks to the optimised tooth shape, less pressure is exerted on the front wall, resulting in a long service life for the Schuitemaker Rapide.
