DuraDrum™ Cutterhead from John Deere

Range of Length of Cut – 24 knives (8x3) (mm)

Comparative example of 2 most common lengths of cut. Includes the maximum number of knives possible for the LOC and rotation speed of the cutterhead.


Without a transverse auger, the straight line flow of the Dion harvester makes it the most efficient on the market. The silage is accelerated in a progressive manner at every step, without an abrupt change in direction & without energy loss. The same efficiency as a self-propelled harvester at a fraction of the cost.

Exclusive to the Dion 2430, the cutterhead uses Duradrum™ segment knives similar to those found on the John Deere 7000 series self-propelled harvesters. Adapted to fit in the 2430, the cutterhead features 24 knives positioned on 3 rows of 8 knives. The knives, mounted at an angle, offer excellent quality of cut, high durability & easy replacement.
With two (2) choices of LOC range, maximize the capacity of your harvester no matter the conditions. Three (3) LOC sprockets are available from the factory. Cut up to 24mm (0.94in) in length with 8 knives (vs 6 knives for the competition), a configuration unique to Dion.
