Swaraj Tractors on Thursday launched a multi-purpose farm mechanisation solution to transform horticulture farming in the domestic market named ‘Code’.
It will allow farmers to carry out intercultural operations in narrow rows for various vegetable & fruit crops. Additionally, the shorter turning radius of this machine provides better manoeuvrability in smaller farms cultivating horticulture crops, the company said in a press release.
Hemant Sikka, President Farm Equipment Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra, said, with horticulture’s growing share in India’s Agri GDP over the years, there is an urgent need to focus on this segment for an increase in productivity.
“Code by Swaraj is an innovative farm mechanisation solution that so perfectly aligns with Mahindra Farm Equipment Sector’s purpose of ‘Transform Farming & Enriching Lives. With the launch of CODE, we aim to provide easy access to affordable and innovative technology to the farming community,” he added
Harish Chavan, CEO, Swaraj Tractors, said, “Currently there is intense involvement of manual and animal labour in this segment, and this innovative solution is a pioneering step towards bringing mechanisation to this segment.”
Offered with unique capabilities, Code helps solve issues related to horticulture farming and is being termed as ‘Kheti Ki Duniya Ka Sabse Pehla YES machine’, while offering some industry-first features for the horticulture farmer.
It will come with dual ground clearance to reduce dependency on manual operations. Apart from this, it comes with bi-directional driving, which enables operations with attachments mounted in front of the machine, making it highly suitable for reaper operation in paddy.
Code will initially be launched in Swaraj dealerships in Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh & Telangana and will soon roll out across other states in a phased manner.
The machine also comes with assured service support for a hassle-free ownership experience.
