It is a 4 wheel drive tractor that comes in the category of a mini tractor. Ir works on a 3 cylinder, 1001cc diesel injection engine rated at 2600 rpm that produces the power supplied to its 4 wheels. The dry type air filter clears the air of any unwanted materials and a water-cooled engine cooling mechanism ensures a proper reduction in heat thereby increasing both productivity and efficiency.
The 21 hp power is transmitted to 4 of its wheels which are elegant and broad to induce proper traction and loading pressure on the soil mass. The body of the tractor is straight and ergonomically designed. From a broader perspective, it has been designed as an all-terrain vehicle in its shape and body considerations but has an engine of a tractor that makes it a perfect fit for making it workable in smaller farms.
The transmission is a constant mesh transmission with a dry single-plate type clutch along with 9 plus 3 gear sets. It has varying speeds and torque and can work easily on varied landscapes. The oil-immersed brakes help in easy braking and low maintenance of the tractor.
There is no provision of a power steering which would have been great if present but one has to satisfy with a manual one and that too without a steering adjustment facility. What a disappointment! Although the other features like 750 kgs lifting capacity with 23 litres fuel tank volume do compensate for a few specifications.
