For farmers cultivating hardy crops like jowar (sorghum), bajra (pearl millet), sundhiyu (sunn hemp), and fodder grasses, harvesting has long been a labour-intensive challenge. These crops, known for their fibrous stalks and growth in arid or uneven terrains, demand robust solutions. Enter the Tractor Operated Hydraulic Reaper—a game-changing machine that combines hydraulic precision, versatility, and cost efficiency to transform harvesting.
In this blog, we explore how this advanced Tractor Reaper addresses crop-specific challenges, enhances yields, and empowers farmers with real-world case studies.
Jowar & Bajra:
These crops thrive in low-rainfall regions and produce thick, fibrous stalks that are notoriously difficult to cut manually. The Tractor Operated Hydraulic Reaper uses high-carbon steel reciprocating blades powered by a 2000 PSI hydraulic system to slice through dense stalks cleanly, minimising grain loss and preserving crop quality.
Sundhiyu (Sunn Hemp):
Grown for fiber or green manure, sundhiyu’s tough stems require heavy-duty cutting. The reaper’s hydraulic motor delivers consistent power, ensuring efficient harvesting without damaging the fibrous material. Our Tractor Reaper works perfectly as the Sundhiyu Reaper.
Fodder Crops:
Fodder like Alfalfa needs precise cutting heights (2–12 inches) to promote regrowth. The Tractor Operated Hydraulic Reaper’s adjustable blade height ensures optimal stubble retention, enhancing pasture productivity over multiple cycles.
This fodder harvester is engineered to tackle dense grasses and legumes with unmatched precision, making it ideal for dairy farms and livestock feed production.
Manual harvesting of these crops can take 5–7 days per acre, but the Tractor Reaper accomplishes the same task in 1–2 hours, cutting labour costs by 80–90%.
Bajra and jowar often grow in arid, sloped fields. The reaper’s front-mounted design and hydraulic flexibility ensure stable operation on rough terrain, maintaining consistent performance.
Unlike conventional reapers requiring PTO shafts, this hydraulic reaper runs entirely on the tractor’s hydraulic system, reducing fuel consumption by 20–30%.
By eliminating the need to burn residues, the reaper acts as a stubble saver, promoting sustainable practices and soil health.
Galvanized steel construction resists rust, ideal for humid regions. Farmers report 50% lower maintenance costs compared to traditional reapers.
| Model | Cutting Width | Weight |
| Reaptek T7 | 7 feet | 200 kg |
| Reaptek T6 | 6 feet | 165 kg |
| Reaptek T5 | 5 feet | 135 kg |
| Reaptek T4 | 4 feet | 120 kg |
All models feature roller conveyor chains for smooth crop collection and hydraulic motor drives for reliability.
Under India’s Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM), farmers receive 40–50% subsidies for purchasing hydraulic reapers. A hydraulic reaper’s operating cost of ₹500 per acre is significantly lower than manual labour’s ₹3,000 per acre, achieving ROI in 1–2 seasons.
For farmers battling labour shortages, high costs, and tough crops like jowar, bajra, sundhiyu, or fodder, the Tractor Operated Hydraulic Reaper is a transformative investment. It marries cutting-edge technology with practicality, ensuring higher yields, sustainability, and profitability.
