Escorts Kubota has marked three decades of its Farmtrac brand in India with the launch of two new offerings — the Farmtrac 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition’ and an expanded PROMAXX 2.0 range — reinforcing its position across key horsepower categories in the domestic tractor market.
The Farmtrac 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition’ is the brand’s first all-black tractor, available in the 55 HP category in both 2WD and 4WD variants. Powered by a four-cylinder, 3,682cc engine delivering a maximum torque of 247 Nm, it features a 2,500 kg heavy-duty hydraulic lift, premium LED lighting, and a heat shield. Designed for progressive farmers and larger landholdings, it is suited to demanding implements including super seeders, laser levelers, rotavators, and heavy haulage applications.
The PROMAXX 2.0 range introduces two new models — the 47 HT PROMAXX (47 HP) and the 50 PROMAXX (50 HP) — both available in 2WD and 4WD. Powered by Farmtrac’s advanced 3,514cc HT engine delivering up to 230 Nm of torque, both models feature a 12 forward and 3 reverse gearbox, a creeper speed option, and a spacious flat platform for operator comfort.
Mr. Nikhil Nanda, Chairman and Managing Director, said, “The 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition’ and the PROMAXX 2.0 range are in line with our vision of strengthening the portfolio through focused, application-led products. Farmtrac has completed three decades in India, and the brand continues to anchor our position across key horsepower categories.”
Mr. Akira Kato, Deputy Managing Director, noted that customer demand within the 41 to 50 HP category — the largest segment in the domestic market — is shifting rapidly towards 4WD and higher torque, driven by farmers undertaking more demanding applications.
Mr. Neeraj Mehra, Chief Officer, Tractor Business Division, added, “Farmers today are shifting away from basic tractors towards multi-utility machines that offer superior comfort and modern styling. The PROMAXX 2.0 answers that with its HT engine, creeper speed option and spacious flat platform, while the 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition’ pairs a bold aesthetic with robust performance.”
Both models are being introduced through Farmtrac’s authorised dealer network. Escorts Kubota operates three tractor brands in India — Kubota, Farmtrac, and Powertrac — catering to the premium, entry-premium, and value segments respectively. Farmtrac, launched in 1995, today spans the 26 HP to 60 HP range in India.
