Kubota HARVESKING DC-68G-HK
₹ 27.21 Lakh – ₹ 27.76 Lakh ex-showroom
Kubota entered India in 2008 and now sells here as part of Escorts Kubota, whose group share of FY2025-26 India domestic dispatches was 11.0%. The Pune-based operation sells fewer tractors than its rivals but occupies a distinct slot: Japanese build standards for buyers who will pay for them.
The four listings on Aglist cover an unusually wide spread. The MU4501 2WD is the mainstream tractor, 45 HP from a 2434 cc four-cylinder with 38.3 PTO HP and 1640 kg lift, at ₹7.80 to ₹7.89 lakh. Four cylinders at 2434 cc is a small-bore, high-refinement layout — smoother and quieter than the big three-cylinder engines its rivals use, though it does not lug as hard at low revs. The NeoStar B2741S 4WD is a 27 HP four-wheel-drive mini at ₹5.89 to ₹6.29 lakh, genuinely good in orchard rows and polyhouse work. The PEM 140 DI power tiller sits at ₹2.20 to ₹2.75 lakh, and the HARVESKING DC-68G-HK is a 68 HP crawler combine for wet paddy at ₹27.21 lakh.
Warranty on the tractors is 5 years or 5000 hours.
The catch is cost per HP. At ₹7.80 lakh the MU4501 asks Powertrac Euro 50 money for 5 fewer HP and 7 less PTO HP. You are buying finish, not output.

₹7.80 to ₹7.89 lakh ex-showroom for the 2WD. It gives 45 HP and 38.3 PTO HP from a 2434 cc four-cylinder engine, lifts 1640 kg, and carries a 5-year or 5000-hour warranty. The narrow price band means there is little variant-to-variant spread to negotiate around.
It is one of the better options. 27 HP, three cylinders at 1261 cc, 4WD and 750 kg lift, at ₹5.89 to ₹6.29 lakh. Four-wheel drive matters in an orchard because you turn constantly on soft, irrigated ground where a 2WD mini digs in. It will not do heavy field ploughing.
Kubota builds to Japanese engine and transmission tolerances, which shows in noise, vibration and long-term consistency rather than in the HP figure. Whether it is worth the premium depends on how many hours you run and how much a smoother machine matters to you over a ten-hour day.
