Engine power, displacement, and torque

The 4-cylinder powertrain provides substantial torque backup for heavy continuous farm work.

  • Engine Rating: 55 to 60 HP, 4-cylinder direct-injection diesel engine with 3,531 cc displacement.
  • Torque Delivery: Generates over 210 Nm of torque with high backup torque to pull heavy loads without downshifting.
  • Air Cleaning & Cooling: Dry-type dual element air cleaner with clogging sensor and high-capacity radiator with overflow reservoir.
  • m-Boost Technology: Allows operators to optimize engine power modes between heavy tillage and light transport for maximum fuel economy.

Advanced transmission and precision hydraulics

Synchromesh gearing and high-flow hydraulics ensure effortless implement control.

  • Transmission: 15 Forward + 15 Reverse synchromesh gearbox with dedicated mechanical shuttle lever for rapid forward-reverse shifting.
  • Shuttle Shift: Enables instant direction changes without clutching or changing gear gears, ideal for front loader and dozer operations.
  • Hydraulic Lift Capacity: High-precision hydraulic system with 2,200 kg to 2,700 kg lift capacity at hitch points.
  • Spool Valves: Factory-fitted auxiliary dual spool valves for operating hydraulic reversible ploughs, laser levelers, and tipping trailers.

4WD capabilities, maintenance, and SMAM subsidies

Choosing the 4WD variant provides superior traction in wet paddy and heavy black soils.

  • 4WD Traction: Heavy front planetary drive axle eliminates front-wheel slip during heavy tillage and wet paddy puddling.
  • Ergonomic Platform: Flat operator deck, suspended foot pedals, tiltable steering wheel, and deluxe seating reduce fatigue during 12-hour shifts.
  • Maintenance: Change engine oil every 250 operating hours; replace hydraulic transmission filters every 500 hours.
  • SMAM Subsidies: Subsidies are available for eligible 50+ HP tractors under the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM).
