Engine performance and transmission architecture

  • Engine capacity: 50 HP category, 3-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 3,478 cc, generating 210 Nm peak torque at low engine RPM.
  • Transmission: EZE-Shift constant mesh gearbox featuring side-shift gear levers with 12 forward + 3 reverse or 12 forward + 12 reverse options.
  • Clutch: Heavy-duty Dura-Maxx cerametallic clutch designed for extended working life during intensive PTO and haulage cycles.

Its precision hydraulic system delivers a lift capacity of 2,000 to 2,500 kg, comfortably handling 6 to 7-foot rotavators, heavy reversible mouldboard ploughs, laser land levellers, and multi-crop threshers.

Maintenance routines and SMAM tractor subsidies

  • Extended engine oil drain interval (500 hours) reduces routine servicing downtime and operating expenses.
  • Check dual-acting power steering fluid, oil-immersed brakes (OIB), and dry air cleaner regularly.
  • Eligible for 40% to 50% capital subsidies for individual farmers through the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) on agrimachinery.nic.in.
