Kartar Combine Harvesters: Models, Features & Subsidy

Kartar combine harvesters are widely recognized multi-crop harvesting machines manufactured in Punjab, engineered to handle paddy, wheat, soybean, maize, and pulses across Indian farm conditions. Available in self-propelled wheeled models such as the Kartar 4000 series and specialized rubber-track variants for wet paddy, these harvesters offer heavy-duty cutting and clean grain separation. Farmers and custom hiring entrepreneurs can access capital subsidies through the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM).

Kartar Combine Harvester Models and Specifications

Kartar Agro Industries builds heavy-duty harvesters designed for high output and resilience in challenging harvest conditions. The machines are tested and certified by central farm machinery testing institutes (FMTTI).

  • Kartar 4000 Wheeled Combine: Powered by a high-torque 101 HP water-cooled diesel engine with a 14-foot cutter bar, multi-speed threshing cylinder, and large straw walkers for grain recovery.
  • Kartar Track Combine (Paddy Special): Equipped with durable rubber crawler tracks, high ground clearance, and an elevated chassis to harvest flooded or soft paddy fields without bogging down.
  • Crop Adaptability: Features interchangeable concave sets and adjustable blower fans to transition smoothly between wheat, basmati paddy, soybean, sunflower, and gram.
  • Super SMS Compatibility: Pre-fitted or easily integrated with approved Super Straw Management Systems to comply with state crop residue management standards.

Operational Features and Threshing Efficiency

Modern Kartar combines incorporate ergonomic operator platforms, power steering, and responsive hydraulic controls that maximize operational safety during prolonged harvest windows.

  • Threshing Cylinder and Concave: Heavy rasp bar cylinder ensures clean grain detachment with minimal kernel breakage or grain hairline fractures.
  • Cleaning Shoe and Blowers: Multi-stage sieves with adjustable air blast volume separate dust, unthreshed ears, and fine chaff, delivering clean grain directly to the holding tank.
  • Grain Tank Capacity: Large grain storage tank reduces offloading stops, while high-reach hydraulic discharge augers facilitate rapid unloading into waiting tractor trailers.

Purchasing and Government Subsidy Options

Because combine harvesters require considerable capital investment, official government channels support acquisition through the central DBT Agri Machinery portal (agrimachinery.nic.in). Subsidies are determined by farmer category, operational region, and implement configuration.

  • DBT Portal Registration: Eligible applicants register their Aadhaar, land documents, and chosen dealer quotation on the SMAM portal.
  • Custom Hiring Center Grants: FPOs, cooperatives, and rural entrepreneurs can acquire combines with substantial assistance under CHC creation programs.
  • Bank Credit Linkage: Leading public sector and rural banks offer agricultural term loans for certified combine harvesters with structured seasonal repayment plans.

Common questions

What crops can be harvested with a Kartar combine harvester?

Kartar combines harvest paddy, wheat, soybean, maize, mustard, sunflower, and various pulses by adjusting the cutter bar height, concave clearance, and threshing cylinder speed.

How does the Kartar track combine perform in muddy paddy fields?

The track combine uses wide rubber crawler tracks that distribute ground pressure evenly, allowing effortless movement through saturated, marshy paddy wetlands without getting stuck.

Is government subsidy available on Kartar combine harvesters?

Yes, approved Kartar combine models tested by FMTTI qualify for machinery subsidies under the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) and CRM schemes.
