Escorts Kubota introduces new combine harvester in Punjab, Haryana

18 Sep 2025 Evaluate

Escorts Kubota has introduced ‘PRO588i-G’, a new combine harvester under the Kubota brand in Punjab and Haryana. The new harvester cuts the crop’s stalk near its base (unlike conventional full-feed harvesters), reaping the full length of straw which can be collected and reused - the long straw becoming a potential source of additional income, having utility as cattle feed and in biomass plants. This is Kubota’s new technology in India, it provides a profitable alternative to the farmers over stubble burning, thereby can help reduce air pollution in North India.

The new combine harvester has a special threshing mechanism, designed in Japan. It significantly reduces the breakage of the fragile long grain of the Basmati rice during threshing, a recurring problem that farmers face with conventional harvesters. Maintaining integrity of the grain boosts its appeal, increases its price and export potential.

‘PRO588i-G’ weighs just 2700 kilograms, as compared to the conventional harvesters that weigh at about 9000 kilograms. This reduces compactness of the soil when this new harvester plies on the field, in-turn reduces the ploughing effort and land preparation cost for the farmers for their next crop cycle. Additionally, it is coupled with crawler to make work easier on wet fields and has ergonomic design features that enable simpler handling and longer work hours.

Escorts Kubota is one of India's leading engineering conglomerates with over six decades of experience. It has helped accelerate India’s socio-economic development through its presence across the high growth sectors of Agri-machinery, construction & material handling equipment and railway equipment.
