Vishal Combine Harvester Models and Configurations
Vishal combines are designed to withstand rugged continuous harvesting operations during time-critical crop maturity windows across major agrarian states.
- Vishal Mega 432 Wheeled Combine: Heavy-duty self-propelled harvester powered by an Ashok Leyland or equivalent 101 HP water-cooled diesel engine with a wide 14-foot cutter bar.
- Vishal Rubber-Track Combine: Engineered specifically for saturated, wet paddy wetlands; wide rubber tracks distribute machine weight to navigate flooded soils without getting stuck.
- Multi-Crop Versatility: Quickly convertible between wheat, basmati paddy, mustard, soybean, gram, and maize by swapping threshing sieves and adjusting concave clearance.
- Straw Management System (Super SMS): Factory-fitted or retrofitted Super SMS shreds and broadcasts paddy straw evenly to facilitate direct zero-till Happy Seeder wheat sowing.
Key Functional Features and Grain Recovery
The machine incorporates advanced threshing, separation, and grain cleaning components certified by central farm machinery testing institutes (FMTTI).
- Rasp Bar Threshing Drum: High-inertia cylinder detaches grains gently, preserving grain quality and preventing seed coat breakage.
- High-Efficiency Straw Walkers: Multi-stage open-trough straw walkers agitate straw thoroughly to separate trapped grains and deposit clean straw at the rear.
- Adjustable Cleaning Shoe: Precision blower fan and multi-tier sieves remove chaff, dust, and light debris, ensuring commercial-grade grain tank purity.
- Hydraulic Unloader: Long-reach swiveling discharge auger empties the spacious grain tank into waiting field trolleys within minutes without halting field operations.
Subsidies, Custom Hiring and Financing
Purchasing a self-propelled combine harvester represents a major investment, making government machinery subsidies and custom hiring centers crucial for accessibility.
- SMAM Subsidy Scheme: Eligible farmers, FPOs, and village cooperatives can apply for capital grants through the official DBT Agri Machinery portal (agrimachinery.nic.in).
- Crop Residue Management Grants: Enhanced subsidy support is available in select northern states for combine units integrated with certified straw management attachments.
- Bank Term Loans: Scheduled commercial banks and regional rural banks provide agricultural term loans with repayment structured across bi-annual crop harvesting seasons.
