Reliable in Cultivation: Less Maintenance, More Productive Time

Introduction: The Fear of Failures and Unpredictable Costs

Intensive cultivation and growing schedules leave no room for unexpected downtime caused by machine failures. Growers often fear that complex, unfamiliar electric technology will lead to costly breakdowns and long waiting times for specialized technicians.

The reality is that the Knegt E-tractor is one of the most reliable and low-maintenance machines you can operate on your site. The simplicity of the electric system guarantees maximum availability during your critical cultivation periods.

Why Electric Technology Is So Reliable in Cultivation

In cultivation environments, diesel engines are prone to failure due to:

• High thermal loads.

• Dirt and dust affecting sensitive diesel components such as injectors and filters.

The Knegt E-tractor eliminates these risks:

1. Fewer Wear-Prone Components: An electric motor is a marvel of simplicity. There are no filters, no engine oil, no clutches, no turbochargers and no fuel lines that can clog. This results in less friction and dramatically reduced wear.

2. Long Battery Lifespan: Knegt’s modern batteries are enclosed and protected against the humid greenhouse environment. They are supplied with a robust warranty, giving you confidence in both capacity and service life.

3. Predictable and Minimal Maintenance: Routine maintenance of a Knegt E-tractor is limited mainly to checking the transmission, hydraulics and tires. The motor itself is virtually maintenance-free, resulting in predictable and low service costs.

More Operating Hours, Fewer Concerns

The reliability of the Knegt E-tractor directly boosts your productivity:

• Lower Operating Costs: The combination of low energy consumption and minimal maintenance leads to a structurally lower cost per operating hour.

• Maximum Uptime: Fewer unexpected breakdowns mean you can strictly follow your cultivation schedule and never miss critical spraying or harvesting moments.
