Engine Specifications and Heavy-Duty Powertrain
The Kartar 4000 is powered by a water-cooled 6-cylinder direct-injection turbocharged diesel engine delivering 101 HP at rated 2,200 engine RPM.
Engineered with a high-capacity radiator and automatic dust-cleaning screen, it operates reliably through prolonged harvest shifts in hot, dusty ambient conditions without overheating.
- Engine rating: 101 HP, 6-cylinder direct injection turbocharged diesel engine
- Cooling system: Liquid-cooled with automatic rotary dust screen
- Fuel tank capacity: 300 liters providing continuous all-day harvesting operations
- Transmission: Heavy-duty 3-forward and 1-reverse speed gearbox with variable hydraulic speed control
Cutter Bar, Threshing Drum, and Separation Systems
The harvester is fitted with a 14-foot (4.2 meter) floating cutter bar with hydraulic reel adjustment that accommodates laid crops and uneven field contours.
Its high-inertia rasp bar threshing drum, paired with an adjustable concave grid and five straw walkers, provides clean grain separation with minimal grain cracking and low harvest losses.
- Cutter bar width: 14 feet (4.2 meters) with heavy-duty knife sections and crop lifters
- Threshing drum: Rasp bar cylinder (typically 1,270 mm width) with multi-speed adjustment
- Separation system: 5 multi-step straw walkers with high separation surface area
- Grain tank capacity: Large grain hopper holding 2.0 to 2.4 tonnes of clean grain with high-speed discharge auger
Commercial Price Variables and SMAM Subsidies
Commercial purchase prices for Kartar combine harvesters depend on drive configuration (standard wheeled drive versus rubber track drive for wetland paddy), cabin air-conditioning, and straw management system (SMS) attachments.
Under the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) and Crop Residue Management (CRM) schemes, eligible farmers and Custom Hiring Centers (CHCs) can obtain substantial capital subsidies through state DBT portals.
- Price determinants: Wheel drive vs half-track/full-track drive, Super SMS attachment, and operator cabin AC
- Track drive advantage: Rubber track models harvest waterlogged paddy fields without sinking or soil bogging
- Super SMS mandate: Straw Management System chops and scatters straw uniformly behind the combine
- Subsidy eligibility: Capital assistance under SMAM and state CRM schemes for custom hiring hubs
