How much is a used tractor worth in India?
A tractor loses roughly 15 to 20% of its value in the first year and about 10% each year after that, with a floor as it ages. A well-kept 3 to 5 year old tractor typically sells for 60 to 70% of its ex-showroom price; a 6 to 10 year old machine for 35 to 50%. The exact figure moves with engine hours, tyre and hydraulic condition, service history and paperwork. Each model page below shows the year-wise resale range plus a buying checklist.
Tips for buying a used tractor
- Check engine hours: under 3,000 hrs for a 5 to 6 year old tractor is good.
- Start the engine cold and listen for knocking; watch the exhaust smoke.
- Inspect tyres, hydraulics, PTO and clutch; ask for service records.
- Verify the RC, insurance and that chassis and engine numbers match the papers.
- Compare the asking price with the new model price to judge the discount.
