Tractors in the 40-50 horse power (HP) segment witness the highest sales traction, TractorJunction.com, a digital market place for farm equipment said.

“Farmers are now buying tractors basis their application or usage. Since majority of the Indian farmers have landholdings below 2-3 hectares, the segment of 40-50 HP tractors witness high traction. This segment of tractors fall in the compact and standard segment, ideal for ploughing and tilling works. Tractors in the 40-50 HP segment are suited for diverse non-agri applications, thereby allowing a farmer to diversify his income sources and providing the highest value for money” said Rajat Gupta, Founder of Tractor Junction, said in a statement.
