Key differences
- The Swaraj 834 FE has 700 kg more lifting capacity than the Mahindra OJA 3140 - useful for heavy implements like a reversible plough, a loaded trailer or a potato planter.
- At ex-showroom prices the Swaraj 834 FE starts about ₹1,10,000 lower than the Mahindra OJA 3140, roughly ₹2,007 a month less on a 5-year loan for 90% at 8%.
- Drive: the Mahindra OJA 3140 is 4WD, the Swaraj 834 FE is 2WD. 4WD helps in wet paddy fields and on slopes; 2WD is cheaper to buy and maintain.

Which one should you buy?
Match the tractor to your heaviest regular job. If you run a reversible plough, a loaded trolley or a potato planter, lifting capacity matters most. If most of your work is rotavator, thresher or pump, compare PTO HP. Then get on-road quotes for both from dealers near you, and check how far the nearest authorised service centre is - for a 10-year machine, service distance matters as much as a few HP.
