Kubota DC-70 Combine Harvester: Specifications, Price and Uses

The Kubota DC-70 combine harvester is a heavy-duty agricultural machine designed to make grain harvesting quick and more efficient. It carries out the operations of cutting, threshing, separating and cleaning in one machine. This machinery assists farmers in reducing the amount of manual labour and in saving time when harvesting. Because of its practical harvesting features and solid construction, the Kubota DC-70 is appropriate for farmers and contractors who need reliable harvesting performance.

The Kubota DC-70 combine harvester is designed for farmers and agricultural contractors who need an efficient method for mechanised grain harvesting. The DC-70G Pro specification uses a tracked drive system, a 69 PS Kubota diesel engine and a 1,000 kg grain tank. Explore the machine's main specifications, uses, features, maintenance requirements and Tanzania price factors below.

What is the Kubota DC-70 combine harvester?

The Kubota DC-70 combine harvester is a self-propelled machine that performs cutting, threshing, separating and cleaning during harvesting. The cutting system collects the crop, while its threshing and separating systems remove the grain from the harvested material and separate it from the straw. The cleaning system removes remaining impurities before the grain is collected in the machine's grain tank, reducing the amount of manual handling during harvest. Because of its self-propelled tracked structure, the Kubota DC-70 gives the operator good mobility in the field and supports efficient movement between harvesting areas.

Kubota DC-70 combine harvester specifications

The Kubota DC-70G Pro is an agricultural machine designed for professional rice harvesting. Official Kubota specifications list an operating weight of 3,290 kg for the grain-tank DC-70G Pro, an engine output of 69 PS (50.7 kW) at 2,700 rpm and a displacement of 2,434 cc. The table below gives the main Kubota DC-70G Pro specifications.

Kubota DC-70 key features

69 PS diesel engine

A four-cylinder, water-cooled Kubota engine powers the DC-70G Pro. The engine is a vertical diesel with turbocharger and a displacement of 2,434 cc, producing 69 PS (50.7 kW) at 2,700 rpm.

Crawler drive system

The harvester uses crawler tracks measuring 500 mm wide by 1,700 mm in ground contact length. The crawler system has an average ground contact pressure of about 19.0 kPa on the published DC-70G Pro specification, distributing the machine's weight across the track contact area. The machine also has a minimum ground clearance of 325 mm and an HST transmission with three forward and three reverse ranges.

Hydraulic cutting system

The DC-70G Pro's reaper section has a 900 x 1,903 mm pickup reel and a 1,980 mm cutter bar. The reel uses hydraulic height adjustment, while the machine has a gathering length of 2,075 mm.

Axial-flow threshing system

The DC-70G Pro uses a spiked-tooth axial-flow threshing system. Its threshing cylinder measures 620 mm in diameter and 1,650 mm in length and operates at 560 rpm. The concave area is 1.456 m², while the cleaning system uses oscillating, three-way air-stream cleaning.

Grain handling

The DC-70G Pro has a 1,000 kg grain tank for collecting harvested grain. The grain unloader reaches roughly 1.8 to 4.5 metres in discharge height, depending on the published market specification. The machine also includes a grain-tank-full alarm as part of its electrical and warning system.

What is the Kubota DC-70 used for?

The Kubota DC-70G Pro is primarily specified for rice harvesting. Official Kubota material lists a rice harvesting capacity of 0.3 to 0.62 hectares per hour, although actual capacity depends on crop and field conditions, operator technique and machine setup. The cutter, axial-flow threshing system and grain-cleaning system allow cutting, threshing, separating and cleaning to take place in one harvesting process.

Other crop applications depend on the exact model, header and configuration. Kubota provides a corn-header installation path for the DC-70 series in supported markets, but farmers should confirm crop compatibility for the exact machine supplied in Tanzania before relying on it for maize or another grain.

Kubota DC-70 price in Tanzania

The Kubota DC-70 price in Tanzania depends on the exact model, specification, current availability, transport, taxes, included equipment and after-sales package. Because these factors can change, a current quotation is more useful than a fixed article price.

For the current Kubota DC-70 price quote, contact Agricom and confirm the exact model, configuration, availability, delivery and support package included.

How to compare the Kubota DC-70 with other combine harvesters

When comparing the Kubota DC-70 with other grain harvesting machines in Tanzania, compare the exact model rather than only the brand name. Useful factors include engine output, cutting width, grain-tank capacity, field capacity, crawler or tyre configuration, crop/header compatibility, transport dimensions, spare-parts access and after-sales support.

A larger combine is not automatically the better choice. The right machine should match the crop, field size, field conditions, harvesting window, transport requirements and the amount of work the machine will complete each season.

What to check before buying a Kubota DC-70

Before settling on purchasing the Kubota DC-70 combine harvester in Tanzania, first confirm the exact model and specification being offered. The DC-70 family has different market variants, so machine weight, grain handling and other details should be checked against the specific serial plate, brochure or quotation.

• Confirm the exact model: DC-70, DC-70 Pro, DC-70G Pro or another market variant.

• Confirm the crop and header configuration required for your farm.

• Check the machine dimensions, weight and transport requirements for your location.
