Primary and Secondary Tillage Machinery
Tillage equipment prepares the soil profile for seed germination, root expansion, and efficient moisture retention.
Matching implements to tractor power take-off (PTO) capacity ensures maximum fuel efficiency and prevents implement breakdown.
- MB Plows & Disc Harrows: Deep primary tillage breaking hard plow pans and incorporating crop residues
- Rotary Tillers (Rotavators): Single-pass secondary tillage pulverizing clods to create a fine, crumbly seedbed
- Laser Land Levelers: Precision grading reducing irrigation water consumption by twenty to thirty percent
Sowing, Planting, and Crop Protection Implements
Mechanized planting implements ensure precise seed placement depth, uniform inter-row spacing, and simultaneous basal fertilizer banding.
Modern tractor-mounted boom sprayers and drone sprayers provide rapid, uniform chemical coverage across large farm acreages.
- Seed-cum-fertilizer drills: Precise seed metering with simultaneous fertilizer placement below the seed line
- Paddy transplanters: Motorized mat transplanters establishing optimal hill densities in wetland fields
- Tractor boom sprayers: High-volume sprayers equipped with drift-reduction nozzles for rapid foliar applications
Government Mechanization Subsidies and Custom Hiring Centers
Small and marginal farmers can access purchase subsidies on empanelled implements under the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM).
Those who cannot purchase machinery directly can hire modern implements on an hourly rental basis through local Custom Hiring Centers (CHCs).
- SMAM portal: Register on agrimachinery.nic.in to view state-approved agricultural machinery models and subsidy tiers
- Custom Hiring Centers: Access high-capital implements like combine harvesters and laser levelers on affordable rental rates
- Financing options: Avail agricultural term loans from commercial banks with installments calculated on KisanPe

Common questions
What is the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM)?
SMAM is a central government scheme providing capital subsidies to farmers for purchasing approved farm implements and establishing Custom Hiring Centers.
How does a laser land leveler benefit farmers?
A laser leveler creates a perfectly flat field surface, saving 20 to 30 percent in irrigation water and ensuring uniform crop emergence.
Can smallholders rent expensive farm machines without buying them?
Yes, farmers can rent modern machinery including tractors, rotavators, and harvesters from local Custom Hiring Centers (CHCs) on hourly rates.
