M&M’s Farm Equipment Sector (FES) launched its first CRDe Tractor – the Arjun 605 MAT (Multi Application Tractor). The common-rail direct injection engines are known for their fuel efficiency as well as reduced noise and emission levels and more common in passenger vehicles. M&M are the first to introduce CRDe technology in tractors in the country. Mahindra brands its common rail engines variously as CRDe, DiCR, m2DiCR.
The turbocharged 3192cc four-cylinder 60 hp MAT falls into 50-60 hp category of Mahindra FES litany. The Arjun uses 8 forward and 8 reverse synchromesh transmission to deliver the 221 Nm worth of torque on the ground. The 605 MAT is equipped with a high/low selector lever and foot operated differential lock.

With the oncoming of bigger players and higher competition, Indian manufacturers are offering newer technology on their tractors. These big-wheeled monsters are also becoming a lot plusher than what they were considered a few years back.
