₹ 0.93 Lakh – ₹ 1.25 Lakhex-showroom
50-65 HPTractor required

A six-foot rotavator is where a lot of farmers find out what their tractor really is. Shaktiman asks for 50 to 65 HP behind this one, and that figure is not marketing padding: 1881 mm of soil cut in a single pass, 447 kg hanging off the three-point linkage, and a rotor that has to keep spinning when the ground turns wet. The Regular Plus sits in the middle of the Shaktiman range, above the thin locally fabricated rotavators that sell for half the money, below the multi-speed machines big custom hirers run all season. Buyers are usually farmers with 50 HP or more who work sugarcane, cotton, potato or a rice-wheat rotation and want one implement that makes a seedbed and buries last season's trash in the same pass. Listed between 93,000 and 1,25,270 rupees depending on sub-model and state.

Our verdict: Shaktiman Regular Plus Series (RP 185 / 6 ft)

Verdict by the Aglist editorial desk

We rate this as the sensible buy in the 6 ft class, with one condition attached: the tractor. Fifty HP is a floor, not a suggestion. Put 1881 mm of rotor behind a 40 HP machine and nothing dramatic happens, which is exactly why people do it. The tractor just slows, you drop a gear, the temperature needle climbs, and an acre that should take forty minutes takes ninety and burns the diesel to match. The gearbox is where the money goes. An SG-iron housing with a CF-technology crown wheel and pinion is what keeps a rotavator alive past its third season; on cheap machines that assembly whines first and then breaks, and a gearbox rebuild in a district town costs more than two sets of blades. Working depth of 140 to 203 mm is enough for a potato bed and enough to chop paddy stubble into the soil, though it will never invert a field the way a mould board plough does. Two warnings. TractorKarvan shows the RP 145 and RP 185 as discontinued while TractorJunction still lists the series, so confirm current stock before you hand over an advance. And at 1,25,270 rupees the top of the band is well above what a local workshop charges for six feet of steel. You are paying for the driveline.

Shaktiman Regular Plus Series (RP 185 / 6 ft) — What works / What to watch

What works

  • 1881 mm cut clears a full six-foot swath in one pass
  • SG-iron gearbox with CF crown wheel and pinion, the part that decides how long a rotavator lives
  • Shear bolt or slip clutch driveline saves the tractor PTO when a blade finds a stone
  • 140 to 203 mm working depth covers potato beds and paddy stubble incorporation
  • 480 mm rotor swing and 89 mm rotor tube take sugarcane trash without wrapping

What to watch

  • 447 kg on the links is a lot for a tired hydraulic pump on an older tractor
  • Needs a genuine 50 HP; 45 HP owners will work in low gear all day
  • RP 145 and RP 185 are shown discontinued on one major listing site, so check availability first
  • At 1,25,270 rupees the top of the range costs well over a locally made six-footer

What farmers use it for

Best for: Owners of 50 HP-plus tractors preparing seedbeds and mixing residue on sugarcane, cotton or paddy-wheat land.

Seedbed preparation and residue incorporation for sugarcane, cotton, rice, potato, wheat and vegetables; wetland puddling for paddy

Shaktiman Regular Plus Series (RP 185 / 6 ft) — Frequently asked questions

What is the price of the Shaktiman Regular Plus 6 ft rotavator?

Listings put it between 93,000 and 1,25,270 rupees. The spread is real, not a typing error: it covers different sub-models and widths in the Regular Plus family, and the final figure changes with state GST, transport to your dealer and whatever exchange he gives you on an old machine. Ask for the on-road number in writing.

How much HP tractor is needed for this rotavator?

Shaktiman specifies 50 to 65 HP. That is the number to plan around. The rotor is 1881 mm wide and the machine weighs 447 kg, so the tractor is carrying weight on the links and driving the rotor through the PTO at the same time. A 45 HP tractor will physically turn it in loose soil and struggle everywhere else.

Can this rotavator be used for puddling paddy?

Yes, wetland puddling is one of its listed jobs. Work at lower forward speed in standing water, keep the depth toward the shallow end of the 140-203 mm range so the rotor is not fighting mud it does not need to move, and wash the machine down afterwards. Check gearbox oil and seals after a puddling season; water is what kills rotavator bearings.

Shaktiman Regular Plus or Maschio Gaspardo Virat Plus 165, which is better?

Different tractors. The Maschio is a 5 ft machine for 40-45 HP tractors and goes 220 mm deep at 1,16,910 rupees. The Shaktiman is 6 ft for 50-65 HP and covers more ground per hour. If your tractor is 45 HP, the choice is already made for you. Above 50 HP the extra foot of width pays for itself in a season of custom work.
