25-50 HPTractor required

Straw has become a commodity. Biomass power plants, compressed biogas units and dairy buyers all want it, and the machine that turns a field of loose paddy or wheat straw into something you can stack, load and sell is the baler. Shaktiman's SRB 60 makes a round bale 600 by 635 mm weighing 17 to 22 kg, at up to 50 bales an hour, using manual twine binding in sisal or polypropylene. The machine itself is 2350 by 1780 by 1515 mm and weighs 700 kg, running off a 540 rpm PTO on a drawbar hitch with chain-driven pressure rollers on sealed bearings. What makes it unusual in its category is the tractor requirement: 25 to 50 HP, low enough that a small farm can run it. It is priced at 3.25 to 3.68 lakh rupees.

Our verdict: Shaktiman Round Baler SRB 60

Verdict by the Aglist editorial desk

The 25 HP lower limit is the headline here and it is genuinely unusual. Most balers in this market are built for 35 HP and up, and square balers climb past 55 HP and past 9 lakh rupees. A round baler on a small tractor changes who can enter the straw business at all. Now the honest part, and it is the twine. Manual binding means an operator stops, ties and restarts on every bale. At 50 bales an hour that is 50 interruptions, and it sets the real working rate well below the paper figure once you count a tired man in October heat. Automatic binding is what you are giving up for the price. The bale size is small too: 17 to 22 kg is easy to lift by hand, which is an advantage for dairy sales and a disadvantage when a biomass plant wants tonnage. And 3.25 lakh rupees is real money for a machine used a few weeks after each harvest, so this only works with CRM subsidy or with enough neighbours' fields to bale.

Shaktiman Round Baler SRB 60 — What works / What to watch

What works

  • 25 to 50 HP requirement, the lowest in a category where most machines want 35 HP or more
  • Up to 50 bales an hour at 17 to 22 kg each
  • Bales light enough for one man to lift and stack without a loader
  • Chain-driven pressure rollers on sealed bearings, a simple driveline to maintain
  • 3.25 lakh rupees against 9.66 lakh and up for square balers in the same market

What to watch

  • Manual twine binding stops the machine on every bale
  • 17 to 22 kg bales mean a lot of handling if you are selling by the tonne
  • 700 kg on a drawbar hitch needs a tractor with a sound drawbar and hitch pin
  • Seasonal use only, so the price only works with subsidy or custom baling

What farmers use it for

Best for: Small and mid-size farms with 30 to 50 HP tractors baling paddy or wheat straw for fodder and biomass sale.

Ex-situ crop residue management - baling paddy and wheat straw for fodder, biomass power plants and CBG plants instead of burning; eligible for CRM subsidy

Shaktiman Round Baler SRB 60 — Frequently asked questions

What is the price of the Shaktiman SRB 60 round baler?

It is quoted at 3.25 to 3.68 lakh rupees. The baler category spans 3.25 to 12.85 lakh: a Dasmesh 631 at 3.25 lakh for 27 to 50 HP, a John Deere compact round baler at 3.52 lakh for 35 to 45 HP, then square balers like the Shaktiman SBM 165 Plus at 9.66 lakh and the New Holland BC5060 at 12.85 lakh.

How much HP tractor is needed for the SRB 60 baler?

Shaktiman states 25 to 50 HP, which is the lowest requirement in the baler category and the main reason to look at this machine. It runs off a 540 rpm PTO on a drawbar hitch. Since the baler weighs 700 kg and is towed rather than mounted, check that your drawbar and hitch pin are in good condition before the season.

How many bales can it make in a day?

The rated output is up to 50 bales an hour at 17 to 22 kg per bale. Treat that as a maximum. Binding is manual, so the machine stops on each bale while the operator ties it, and real daily output depends on how much straw is in the field, how it was spread by the combine and how long the crew can keep the pace up.

Is subsidy available on straw balers?

Balers fall under crop residue management as ex-situ machinery, taking straw off the field for fodder, biomass power and compressed biogas instead of burning it. Subsidy terms differ by state and by whether the buyer is an individual farmer or a custom hiring centre, and they change between seasons, so confirm the current rate with your district agriculture office.
