Buying farm machinery in Malappuram: what to look for
The right machine makes farm work faster and less tiring. Before you buy, decide what job it must do, how often you will use it, and whether a government subsidy can reduce the cost.
Start with the job
- Watering and irrigation: a water pump sized for your flow and head
- Clearing weeds and brush: a brush cutter
- Spraying crops: a sprayer of the right capacity
- Everyday work: good farm hand tools
Engine type and power
Petrol engines are portable and start easily. Electric machines are quiet and cheap to run where there is reliable power. Choose the engine and power rating for the longest, hardest job you expect, not the average one.
Check the subsidy
Under the SMAM scheme, individual farmers can receive up to 50% subsidy on eligible farm machinery and groups up to 80%. We help with the application free of charge — read the full details in our SMAM guide.
Think about service and spares
A machine is only useful while it works. Ask about spare parts, servicing and warranty before you buy, and keep the manual and a spare set of consumables such as filters, plugs and cutting lines.
