FEATURES:

Enhanced Productivity with Powerful OHV Engine

The Kubota Model KNP-4W is equipped with a robust OHV gasoline engine boasting a total displacement of 192 CC. This powerful engine enables the machine to operate at an impressive speed of 0.85 m/s, making it 10% faster than the previous model. The increased planting speed ensures efficient and timely transplanting, leading to improved productivity.

Fuel Efficiency for Extended Operations

To further enhance efficiency, the walk-behind rice transplanter features a large capacity fuel tank of 10 L, compared to the previous model's 4L capacity. This substantial increase in fuel storage reduces the frequency of refueling, allowing for extended operation without interruption.

User-Friendly Design and Maintenance

The Kubota KNP-4W comes with a user-friendly design, including a one-touch open bonnet. Daily inspections and maintenance become a breeze with easy access to the engine compartment. The hexagonal axle design enhances durability, preventing axle pin breakage and reducing downtime.

Smooth and Reliable Transmission

Kubota has integrated a bevel-gear drive system into the KNP-4W, ensuring a long operating life without concerns about chain cuts. The use of highly-durable materials in the transmission and hydraulic functions further contributes to the machine's reliability and longevity.

Customizable Transplanting Settings

Farmers can adjust the transplanting settings to suit their specific needs and local conditions. The distance between hills, seeding quantity, and seedling planting depth are all customizable, providing flexibility in various agricultural settings.

Belt Type Seedling Tray Vertical Feeding Mechanism

The KNP-4W is equipped with a belt type vertical feeding mechanism for the seedling tray. This innovation increases the holding power of the seedling mat, preventing slipping and ensuring stable planting operations.

Stability in Different Field Conditions

The large 660mm diameter wheels ensure stability even in deep-tilled paddy fields. Farmers can adjust the wheel positions according to the field's depth, providing adaptability in diverse operational conditions.

Uniform Depth Planting with Horizontal Control Mechanism

Even in undulating terrain, the horizontal return structure of the plate spring ensures seedlings are planted at a uniform depth. This feature guarantees consistent and precise planting, maximizing crop yield.

Efficient Operations in Deep Paddy Fields

The automatic height adjustment feature enables the machine to detect undulations in the field. The KNP-4W can then adjust its height up to 450mm, ensuring efficient transplanting even in deep paddy fields.
