Two new tractors launched for ‘smart’ farmers

FARMTRAC on Tuesday announced the launch of two new tractor models,6060 and 6065 — first ‘executive’ tractors. Available in 60HP and 65HP,these tractors are designed to cater to the progressive new-age Indian farmers who are smart,educated,have an entrepreneurial bent of mind,and have adopted farming as a business of their choice.

Both Farmtrac 6060 and 6065 come with a new four-cylinder turbocharged,intercooled engine that delivers higher torque to run larger implements and pull heavier loads. The tractors are offered in two transmission options — a modern 24-speed syncroshuttle gearbox providing versatility to do multiple tasks — and a heavy-duty 8+2 speed epicyclic transmission delivering high reliability in toughest of conditions.

Furthermore,the tractors are equipped with the latest four-wheel drive technology which ensures full utilisation of engine power allowing these tractors to perform bigger tasks in the least time. These new tractors provide for an in-line fuel injection pump,which unlike the rotary pumps used by the competition,stays unaffected by adulterated fuel and is the preferred customer choice.

Speaking at the launch,S Sridhar,chief executive officer,Escorts Agri Machinery,said,“Farmers in Punjab and Haryana have been trend-setters in agricultural practices. They have successfully demonstrated the merits of farm mechanisation which has further led agriculture to become a flourishing business for them.”
