Power for heavy work: impressive torque and manoeuvrability in the yard

Electric and powerful: the myth debunked

The idea that an electric tractor would be less suitable for heavy yard and stable work is outdated. Knegt e-tractors deliver high torque and are specifically designed to meet the intensive demands of the equine sector: lifting, pulling, loading and manoeuvring in tight spaces.

Instant torque for heavy front-loader work

When moving heavy hay bales, feed bags or mucking out with a front-loader, immediate and constant power is essential. Electric motors deliver maximum torque from standstill, making the tractor exceptionally strong for pulling, levelling arenas and towing trailers. The 55 hp Knegt (404G2E) even features a split motor system with a separate electric motor for the hydraulics, ensuring power for the front-loader and three-point hitch without compromising traction.

Compact and agile in narrow aisles

In stables, along paddocks and between buildings, compact dimensions and manoeuvrability are crucial. Knegt tractors are designed as compact all-rounders with a small turning radius, allowing safe and easy manoeuvring in narrow aisles and around stalls. This increases efficiency and reduces the risk of dangerous situations involving horses.

Compatible with existing implements

Switching to electric does not mean you have to replace your existing implements. Knegt tractors come standard with four-wheel drive, a dual-stage clutch, a Category 1 three-point hitch and PTO speeds of 540 and 1000 rpm. This allows you to continue using familiar equipment such as manure spreaders, harrows, levellers and feeding tools without issue.

More power, less hassle

The combination of instant torque, quiet operation and high manoeuvrability makes the Knegt e-tractor a true game changer for the equine sector.
