Check if tax is included. It is good price if you calculate price/hp. because 5.5hp or 6 hp costs 78-82K inclusive of taxes.

Yes it is including Tax and Tyres cost. I am worried about its reliability.

There is one model from Honda 5 hp petrol engine it is 58K and 25K is subsidy,atleat Honda brand is reliable.

Hopefully you have researched the subsidies available in AP.

Have the Honda one. Got it with subsidy but twice now have had issues with service. Parts very expensive and not really available sometimes. If somebody in the village or nearby does not know how to repair these its again a problem to transport back to the city.

Sorry for the late Reply !!

Yes Chandra Sir !! Also new government ( Telangana ) announced 50%( May be with 30 K Cap) subsidy on farm equipment.
Bank employee introduced myself to subsidy POC(for applying).

Oh i See. Looks like even good brands will get teared off on our lands :slight_smile:. Then i will go with Kisan Kraft as it has powerful engine (9HP) with more attachments compare to Honda.

Thanks for the Information !!

I am using a 6 HP Greaves power weeder and this is pretty useful. I got this on subsidy form the government.
