The invention discloses a walking oilseed cutting and drying machine which comprises a header rack, a horizontal cutting device, a vertical cutting device, a main shaft, a middle transition shaft, a first belt, a crank connecting rod, oilseed rape separating plates, a power mechanism and the like, wherein one end of the crank connecting rod is arranged on a crank base. An existing walking tractor commonly used in China is adopted for the power mechanism, the using range is wide, the amount of modification work performed on the walking tractor is small, modification is convenient, only cutting and walking actions are finished by the power mechanism, and power of an active guiding laying device is saved. The round hole hollowed plates are adopted for the designed guiding laying device, so that the operation visual field is guaranteed, and under the action of forwarding speed and oilseed rape stalk inertia, oilseed rape stalks are guided to the left side and the right side to be laid. The designed oilseed rape separating plates are located in the middle of the front of a machine set, active oilseed rape separating is adopted for distinguishing an oilseed rape harvesting area into a left area to be cut and a right area to be cut, and after cutting, the oilseed rape stalks are laid on the two sides under the action of the guiding laying device.
