It's an Indian made machine very close to a 8050/8060 i'd say . Very basic in fact it reminds me very much of the 1530/1540s we had in the 70's. My son who worked for Class eastern this summer is very upset as it has no tracks no convio-flex or grain camera and he's never seen a combine with a clutch and gears. We might grow anything up to 5-600 acres of wheat this year and I don't like contractors and we will only be doing 40-50 acres a month so I think it will make sense. It's £45000. You can get a Belgium made TC5-70 but it's a least double the price but if we don't like this we can have a look at it.
i think there may be an import / export opportunity for you . if i had arable you could put me down as customer #1

Do these apply to second hand machines ?
I’ll bet the carbon foot print of the tonka toy combine is far less than that of a all singing all dancing lesbian 750 with half of Microsoft in its cab !
Our sprayer is a Tier3 machine that was sent to Ukraine not sold brought back to UK then sold on to us. I suppose if someone wanted one they could buy one drive up and down the road a bit in the Punjab put a few hours on it then it could be classed as used. Warranty might be an issue too but most problems look as though they can be sorted with a hammer not a laptop.
