Preet 987
₹ 23.5 Lakh – ₹ 27.15 Lakh ex-showroom
Preet Group has been building farm machinery in Nabha, Punjab since 1980, and its name in India is made by combine harvesters rather than tractors. In the wheat belt, a Preet combine is a familiar sight on the road in April.
The harvester line is the reason to look here. The Preet 987 is a 101 HP six-cylinder self-propelled combine with a 14-foot cutter bar and a 2500-litre grain tank, priced ₹23.50 to ₹27.15 lakh. The 949 TAF Track is the specialist: 76 HP on rubber crawler tracks with a 7-foot bar and 1300-litre tank at ₹23.95 lakh, built for wet paddy fields in Punjab, Haryana and the east where a wheeled machine sinks. Tracks cost you road speed and tyre-free maintenance simplicity, but they are the only way to harvest standing water fields without a bogging crew.
On the tractor side we list the Preet 4549: 45 HP and 39 PTO HP from 2892 cc, 1800 kg lift, ₹6.44 to ₹7.89 lakh. It is competitively specified but the price spread is wide, so negotiate.
The limitation is service reach. Preet is strongest in Punjab and Haryana. Buying a combine is a ten-year commitment to parts availability, and outside the northern belt that support is harder to guarantee.

The 949 TAF Track. It runs on rubber crawler tracks instead of wheels, which spreads weight and lets it work fields with standing water where a wheeled combine would sink. It is 76 HP with a 7-foot cutter bar and 1300-litre grain tank at ₹23.95 lakh. Output per hour is lower than the wheeled 987.
₹23.50 to ₹27.15 lakh depending on configuration. It is a 101 HP six-cylinder self-propelled machine with a 14-foot cutter bar and a 2500-litre grain tank. That bar width is what makes it viable for custom hiring across wheat and paddy, where acres per day decide whether the EMI works.
On paper yes: 45 HP, 39 PTO HP and 1800 kg lift from ₹6.44 lakh puts it below Massey Ferguson and New Holland at similar output. The quoted range runs to ₹7.89 lakh, though, so the deal depends entirely on what your dealer quotes. Ask about warranty terms in writing before booking.
