Engine performance and heavy transmission architecture
The Preet 6049 is powered by a robust four-cylinder diesel engine delivering 60 horsepower at rated RPM, providing substantial torque backup for tough soil conditions.
Its heavy-duty transmission is built with a dual-clutch mechanism and constant mesh or synchromesh gearbox providing multiple forward and reverse speeds for optimal field speed matching.
- Engine specification: 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled, direct-injection diesel engine generating 60 rated HP.
- Transmission: Heavy-duty gearbox with 8 forward + 2 reverse or 12 forward + 12 reverse synchro-shuttle options.
- Clutch & Brakes: Heavy dual clutch with independent PTO lever and oil-immersed multi-disc brakes for safe road stopping.
- Drive options: Available in standard Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) and high-traction Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) variants.
Hydraulic capacity and heavy implement compatibility
With strong hydraulic lift capacity and multi-speed PTO capabilities, the Preet 6049 handles the heaviest agricultural implements with ease.
It is widely deployed for operating rotary tillers, multi-bottom reversible mouldboard ploughs, straw reapers, and commercial laser land levelers.
- Hydraulic lift: High lifting capacity of over 1800 kg to 2400 kg with automatic depth and draft control (ADDC).
- PTO power: Independent 540 RPM PTO with multi-speed and reverse PTO options for easy implement un-jamming.
- Implement matching: Runs 7 to 8-foot rotavators, 2 to 3-bottom reversible MB ploughs, pneumatic planters, and combine attachments.
- Commercial haulage: High drawbar pull suited for pulling double-axle heavy agricultural trolleys over rural roads.
Commercial testing, maintenance, and government subsidy
The Preet 6049 tractor undergoes standardized commercial testing at the Central Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institute (CFMTTI).
Qualifying models are empanelled on the central agrimachinery.nic.in portal, allowing eligible cultivators to apply for state mechanization subsidies.
- CFMTTI certification: Rigorously tested for fuel consumption, drawbar pull, PTO power, and operator safety compliance.
- SMAM subsidy: Eligible farmers can apply for purchase subsidies on agrimachinery.nic.in through state agriculture departments.
- Routine servicing: Periodic changing of engine oil, oil filters, diesel sedimenter cleaning, and hydraulic fluid top-ups maintain long-term reliability.
