M&M’s Swaraj Division launches two new tractor models in Maharashtra

Date: 06-03-2013

Mahindra & Mahindra’s (M&M) Swaraj Division, has launched its two new tractor models Swaraj 855 XM and 744 XM in Maharashtra. The Swaraj 855 XM and 745XM are powerful tractors in the 40-50 HP range, with an engine which has greater pulling and load carrying capacity. The branding XM stands for ‘Xtra Mileage’ and denotes the new fuel efficient engine used in this product category.

The tractors are technologically advanced with constant mesh, side shift gear box and highly advanced ‘SENSILIFT’ hydraulic, suited for all agricultural operations and haulage. Tractors like the Swaraj 855 XM and 744XM are a result of Swaraj’s continuous focus on new product development and upgrading.

The Swaraj Division of M&M, Farm Equipment Sector (FES), is a part of the $15.9 billion Mahindra Group. The Government of Punjab in 1970 acquired Swaraj tractor's design and established Punjab Tractors (PTL). The tractors were produced and sold under the brand name ‘Swaraj’. In 2007, M&M acquired a majority stake in PTL, and in February 2009, it was merged into M&M as the Swaraj Division of M&M.
