Swaraj 855 FE 2WD Overview
The Swaraj 855 FE 2WD is a 49.3 HP tractor for farmers who want one machine for tillage, PTO work and transport. It pairs a 3-cylinder, 3478 cc engine with a 2000 kg hydraulic lift, so it can carry a rotavator or MB plough in the field and pull a loaded trolley on the road. The design is mechanically simple, which keeps servicing easy in rural areas, and a 6000-hour / 6-year warranty covers the ownership period most buyers care about.

Swaraj 855 FE 2WD Engine and Performance
The engine runs at a rated 2000 RPM and is water-cooled, which helps it stay stable during long summer tillage hours. A 3-stage oil bath (wet) air cleaner filters dust before it reaches the engine, a practical benefit on dry, dusty fields. The 205 Nm of torque is what you feel when pulling a heavy implement through hard soil or a loaded trolley up a slope.

Transmission, Clutch, Brakes and Steering
Buyers can choose an 8F+2R or a 12F+3R gearbox. Forward speeds run from 3.1 to 30.9 km/h, so slow, precise field work and faster road transport are both covered. Clutch options are single, dual and IPTO; the dual and IPTO versions let you keep PTO-driven tools running while you change gear. Oil-immersed brakes stay cooler and need less adjustment than dry brakes, and power steering is available as an option to reduce hand fatigue on long days.

Hydraulics, PTO and Implement Compatibility
The 2000 kg lift capacity with automatic depth and draft control handles implements that lighter tractors struggle to raise. The PTO runs at 540 / 1000 RPM with 42.9 HP available. Typical implements for this tractor include:
- Tillage: rotavator, MB plough, reversible plough, cultivator, harrow
- PTO machines: thresher, sprayer, water pump, seed drill
- Transport: single and double-axle trolleys
Always match implement size to PTO HP and lift rating, and ask your dealer to confirm the exact model for your soil.
