The bevel-gear drive system contributes to long operating life with no worry about chain cut.
-
The Use of Highly-durable Material
Highly-durable material incorporated for the transmission and for hydraulic functions.
-
Adjustable transplanting Settings
The distance between hills, seeding taking quantity and seedling planting depth are adjustable to fit user's needs and local conditions.
-
Belt Type Seedling Tray Vertical Feeding Mechanism
The KNP-4W is equipped with a belt type vertical feeding mechanism for the seedling tray increasing the holding power of the seedling mat. It can prevent seedling mat from slipping down enabling more stable planting.
