Engine and PTO performance
The 3-cylinder, water-cooled engine is rated at 2000 rpm and produces 200 Nm of maximum torque. About 44 of its 49 HP reaches the PTO, so roughly 90% of engine power is available for rotavators, sprayers, threshers and water pumps. The oil-bath air filter copes well with dusty fields, but it needs frequent cleaning during summer tillage.
Transmission, clutch and brakes
Power passes through a partial constant-mesh, side-shift gearbox with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears. Top forward speed is 29.26 km/h, enough for trolley haulage between field and market. A dual clutch generally lets you pause the tractor's travel while the PTO keeps turning, which helps with rotavators and sprayers. Multi-disc oil-immersed brakes give consistent stopping on wet or loaded ground.
Hydraulics and implement match
The 3-point linkage lifts 2100 kgf, which suits rotavators, cultivators, disc harrows, MB ploughs, seed drills and trolleys. Confirm exact implement sizes with your dealer, because soil type and depth change the load.
Size, stability and turning
The tractor is 3751 mm long, 1795 mm wide, with a 2054 mm wheelbase and 330 mm ground clearance. It weighs 2294 kg, and the weight adds traction in heavy soil. The turning radius with brakes is 7865 mm, so it is not an orchard tractor. In narrow plots, plan your headland turns.
Fuel use and running cost
The 57 L tank sets the working range. As an example, at 5 L/hr a full tank lasts about 11 hours, and at 6 L/hr about 9.5 hours. Actual consumption depends on implement load, soil moisture and driving style. Keep tyres at the correct pressure and clean the air filter regularly to hold consumption down.
Eicher 551 Prima G3 4WD price in India
The ex-showroom price is about ₹8.50–₹9.20 lakh and varies by state. On-road price adds RTO registration, insurance, dealer handling charges and accessories. It costs roughly ₹1.4–₹1.5 lakh more than the Eicher 551 Prima G3 2WD. You can fund it with a tractor loan and cover it with tractor insurance.
Who should buy the Eicher 551 Prima G3 4WD?
- Choose it if your fields are wet, clayey or sloping, you run a rotavator or MB plough often, or you want 2100 kgf of lift in the 49 HP class.
- Consider the 2WD if your land is mostly dry and flat and you want to save about ₹1.4 lakh.
- Look at rivals if warranty length matters most. Its 2-year warranty is shorter than the 5-year cover some 45–47 HP 4WD rivals advertise, so confirm current terms with each dealer.
