Engine Specifications and Powertrain Architecture
The Kartar 4000 is driven by a dependable 101 HP 6-cylinder water-cooled Ashok Leyland diesel engine operating at 2200 rated RPM.
With high engine torque reserve and a heavy-duty mechanical transmission (3 forward and 1 reverse speed), it powers through heavy crop stands without engine lugging.
- Engine Power: 101 HP 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine providing continuous power under heavy crop load
- Drive Configurations: Available in standard 2WD and high-traction 4WD (4x4) variants for soft or waterlogged fields
- Cutter Bar Header: 14-foot (4.2-meter) wide cutter bar header with adjustable crop reel and hydraulic height adjustment
- Fuel Tank: Large 200 to 250-liter diesel capacity allowing full-day non-stop field harvesting runs
Threshing System and Grain Cleaning Performance
The harvester incorporates a large rasp-bar threshing drum paired with open-concave grates, delivering thorough grain separation with low kernel damage.
Five long straw walkers and adjustable cleaning sieves separate clean grain from chaff and chopped straw efficiently.
- Threshing Drum: 600 mm diameter by 1150 mm width rasp-bar cylinder with adjustable speed (530 to 1050 RPM)
- Straw Walkers: 5-step straw walkers ensuring maximum grain separation from dense straw mats
- Grain Tank: 2.2-tonne clean grain holding tank with high-speed hydraulic unloading auger for rapid offloading into tractor trailers
- Super SMS Compatibility: Fitted with government-approved Super Straw Management System (Super SMS) for uniform residue spreading
Commercial Custom Harvesting and Subsidies
The Kartar 4000 is a mainstay of commercial custom hiring enterprises, migrating seasonally across central and northern India.
Under central crop residue management programs and SMAM, eligible operators and FPOs can access capital subsidies through state DBT portals.
- Harvesting Capacity: Harvests 3.5 to 4.5 acres of standing crop per operating hour in wheat and paddy
- SMAM Subsidies: Subsidies up to 40% to 50% available on approved empanelled combine harvesters via state DBT portals
- Routine Care: Inspect elevator chains, grease all bearing points twice daily, and clean radiator air screens
