Safe Operation Knowledge for the Kubota Rice Transplanter

1. Before using this machine, please read carefully and fully understand this Operation Manual.

2. This machine cannot be driven on ordinary roads. When traveling on ordinary roads, please use other transport methods such as a truck to move it.

3. Ensure sufficient distance between the float and the ground so that the float does not touch the ground while the machine is traveling.

4. Pay full attention to people and objects around the machine, then start slowly. In particular, be careful not to damage the seedling platform.

5. Those driving this machine for the first time should keep traveling at low speed until they are proficient in operating it.

6. Do not place objects on the spare seedling rack, etc. Even if it is troublesome, please use another means of transport to carry them.

7. While driving, do not look around or take both hands off the steering handle; carelessness can cause a major accident.

8. Before starting the engine, confirm that the planting clutch lever is in the [fixed] position. Do not start the machine suddenly or make sharp turns.

9. When traveling on a slope, absolutely do not operate the steering clutch lever. Otherwise, the machine will turn suddenly, which is very dangerous. When traveling on a slope, absolutely do not operate the main clutch lever. Otherwise, power transmission will be interrupted, causing the machine to suddenly lurch downward and leading to a major accident. Do not park on a slope for a long time or temporarily. If you must park for a long time or temporarily, use wheel chocks.

Detailed Features of the Kubota Rice Transplanter

1. Engine that achieves highly efficient work

Diesel power 16.1KW. By being equipped with a high-power engine, it can deliver strong power under various working conditions, and can handle work with ease even in fields with a lot of water or fields with deep muddy footing. With low noise and low vibration, it also reduces operator fatigue even during long working hours.

2. Wide footboard for easy seedling replenishment

The footboard at the rear of the operator's seat is designed to be wide and flat, allowing safe and convenient seedling replenishment and auxiliary work, further improving work efficiency.

3. Large-diameter wheels that excel in fields with a lot of water

It adopts large-diameter wheels with a front wheel of 650mm and a rear wheel of 950mm. Because the minimum ground clearance is 500mm, it demonstrates outstanding working performance even in fields with a lot of water.

4. Large-capacity fuel tank that reduces the number of refueling times

It is equipped with a large-capacity 34L fuel tank. With fewer refueling times, work efficiency is improved, and because the fuel tank is arranged on the outside, refueling is easy.

5. Anti-sinking gear lever with strong applicability for fields with a lot of water or crossing field ridges

By moving the handle to the “anti-sinking” position, the axle torque increases by 1.4 times, allowing strong forward movement even in fields with a lot of water and when crossing field ridges, achieving stable work.

6. Energy-saving start-stop handle that reduces fuel waste

The engine can be stopped just by moving the handle, so during seedling replenishment work, there is no need to let the engine idle and waste fuel, making it both economical and environmentally friendly.

7. Protection of the planting drive section, fender

A fender has been added, making it difficult for mud to stick to the planting drive device, thereby providing protection.

8. Easy radiator cleaning

The radiator is arranged on the right side of the engine. As soon as the engine cover is opened, cleaning can be done immediately.

9. Maintenance becomes easier

The control valve, filter, fuse, relay, and battery are centrally arranged under the seat. Maintenance is very easy and can be completed in a short time.
