YANMAR AP4 4-Row Walk-Behind Rice Transplanter
YANMAR AP4 is a lightweight 4-row walk-behind rice transplanter powered by a 171 cc MZ175 petrol engine delivering 2.6 kW (3.5 PS). It provides precise 30 cm row spacing, adjustable 12–22 cm planting pitch, 15–40 mm planting depth and hydraulic leveling for fast, uniform rice transplantation in wet paddy fields.
YANMAR AP4 4-Row Walk-Behind Rice Transplanter is designed for accurate, efficient and labour-saving rice transplantation. It is powered by YANMAR's MZ175, 171 cc, air-cooled 4-cycle OHV petrol engine producing 2.6 kW (3.5 PS). Its lightweight 155 kg design makes operation easier even in soft and muddy paddy fields.
The AP4 plants four rows simultaneously at 30 cm row spacing and provides four selectable planting pitches of 12, 15, 17 and 22 cm. Planting depth can be adjusted from 15 to 40 mm across six stages, helping the operator adapt to field and seedling conditions.
Its hydraulic lifting and leveling mechanism helps maintain consistent planting depth and stable machine operation on uneven wet fields. Two forward speeds and one reverse speed provide convenient manoeuvrability. With fuel-efficient operation, simple controls and relatively low maintenance requirements, the AP4 is suitable for farmers, agricultural contractors, custom hiring centres and rice-growing operations.
