Engine, transmission, and power performance

The powertrain delivers high backup torque at low engine RPM for heavy soil operations.

  • Engine Rating: 58 HP, 3-cylinder Simpson turbocharged diesel engine (2700 cc displacement) delivering strong lugging power.
  • Transmission: 8 Forward + 2 Reverse or 12 Forward + 4 Reverse Comfimesh transmission with side-shift gear levers.
  • Clutch & Brakes: Dual dry clutch and oil-immersed multi-disc brakes for superior braking control and longevity.
  • PTO Capabilities: 540 RPM standard PTO and Ground Speed PTO (GSPTO) delivering approximately 49.3 PTO HP for heavy threshers and balers.

Hydraulics, linkage, and implement matching

Advanced Ferguson hydraulics ensure precise depth control across varying soil strata.

  • Hydraulic Lift Capacity: Heavy lifting capacity of 1,850 kg to 2,050 kg at lower link ends with Category II three-point linkage.
  • Draft & Position Control: Ferguson draft control system automatically adjusts implement depth in response to varying soil resistance.
  • Auxiliary Hydraulic Valves: Equipped with spool control valves for operating hydraulic reversible ploughs, front loaders, and tipping trailers.
  • Implement Matching: Handles 7 to 8 foot rotavators, 3-bottom MB ploughs, 11 to 13 tine cultivators, laser levellers, and heavy haulage trolleys.

4WD capabilities, maintenance, and SMAM subsidies

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

  • 4WD Advantage: Planetary front drive axle reduces wheel slippage, cuts fuel consumption per acre, and improves stability in wet puddling.
  • Routine Servicing: Change engine oil and filters every 250 operating hours; clean air filters regularly in dusty threshing conditions.
  • Government Subsidies: Subsidies are available for eligible 50+ HP tractors under the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM).
  • Apply through the national agricultural machinery portal (agrimachinery.nic.in) using your Aadhaar and land records.
