We look at three Mahindra Tractors to consider

Mahindra has been making tractors for more than fifty years now, and they are considered to be one of the biggest tractor manufacturers in the world. They also happen to be the number one-selling tractor in the world within the compact tractor segment. We investigate the reasons why you should add a Mahindra tractor to your shopping list.

 

Before you buy a new tractor, you need to know what tractor you need. 

Your farm size:

It is important to take the size of your farm and the area in which you need the tractor to work into account. A large farm may require larger, more specialised equipment, and thus a larger tractor will be required. If you need a machine for smaller-scale farming, the Mahindra is worth considering, as the company specialises in compact tractors.

 

Power: 

Once you have decided on the size of the tractor that you need, you will need to consider how much power you require. This will depend on the tasks you need to perform, be they ploughing, towing a trailer or other needs. Tractors with power take-offs require various implements to be attached for getting the desired job done, so ensure that the tractor has the power to handle your tasks.

 

Comfort and safety: 

If you or a worker is going to operate the tractor, ensure that it offers adequate comfort as well as safety features. Some features to take note of include sufficient space between pedals and fenders, seat and steering wheel adjustability, proper design of the operator’s platform, as well as the accessibility of controls from a normal range of reach.

 

Transmission: 

There are 2 types of transmissions on offer: hydrostatic and mechanical. A mechanical transmission is more power-efficient than a hydrostatic transmission alternative. However, the hydrostatic transmission provides the ability to select any engine speed between zero and the maximum, which makes it easier to operate.

 

Three Mahindra tractors to consider:

The Mahindra 275 DI: 

One of the smaller tractors in the range, the 275 is ideal for small scale farming, and it also happens to be one of the most popular offerings in the range. This specific tractor is suitable for both agricultural- and haulage operations, and is a favourite because it is low on maintenance, high on resale value, and offers impressive fuel economy. It is powered by a 29.1 kW engine.

 

Mahindra YUVO 575 DI: 

This mid-level offering features a newly developed 4 cylinder diesel engine, that produces around 33.6kW. Adding to the new engine offering is an equally-new transmission with all-new features and an advanced hydraulics system, which ensures that work is done faster and more effectively. This model also features best-in-class back-up torque and lift-capacity, 12F+3R gears, adjustable deluxe seat, and powerful headlights to improve visibility when needed. 

 

Mahindra ARJUN NOVO 605 DI: 

This is one of the brand's more technologically-advanced offerings. It features a modern design and a powerful 42.5kW engine. This specific tractor is ideal for operations such as pulling, harvesting, reaping, and haulage. ARJUN NOVO is loaded with features, such as a high lift-capacity hydraulic system (with a lift capacity of 2200 KG), advanced synchromesh 15F + 3R transmission, and the longest service interval of 400 hours. It is suitable for numerous farming and haulage operations, and its low maintenance and impressive fuel efficiency are some key highlights.

 

In Conclusion

Mahindra offers more than just tractors. They have a wide range of other implements and combines, and their products are supported by a growing dealer network in South Africa. Add Mahindra tractors' well-earned reputation for durability and efficiency to this mix, and they become a very compelling choice.
