Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and particularly the proud owners of 3-acre farmland who believe horsepower is life—today we review not just a tractor, but a statement, a philosophy, a red beast of the soil, the Mahindra Novo 755 DI PP 4WD V1.
Yes, that’s right. It’s got more alphabets in its name than a B.Tech degree. And this isn’t just a tractor. This is Mahindra saying, “You thought we only made XUV700s? Hold my lassi.”
LAUNCHED IN 2018: STILL MORE RELEVANT THAN YOUR LAST NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION
This first-generation Novo was launched in 2018, and just like Bollywood’s love for remakes, it still hasn’t gone out of fashion. While your neighbor’s son keeps changing careers every year, the Novo remains loyally stuck to farming—and looking absolutely stunning while doing it.
Only available in diesel, because of course! This isn’t some metro-city scooter looking for a charging point. This is a real machine, drinking diesel like a thirsty buffalo on a summer afternoon.
Price Tag That Makes It The ‘Patek Philippe’ Of Ploughing
Starts at ₹8.80 lakh, and the top model (yes, the one we’re drooling over) costs ₹15.25 lakh. That’s right. For that money, you can either get a mid-size SUV or a machine that can pull a tree out of the ground and still look like it’s just getting started.
Want an AC cabin? That’ll be ₹3.5 lakh extra, please. Why? Because farming is hot work and luxury has a price, my friend. Farmers deserve climate control too. Let them experience comfort while the potatoes cry under the earth.
Looks That Kill (And Cultivate)
Painted in a single bold colour—metallic red—this tractor doesn’t whisper. It roars. It doesn’t just enter your farm; it makes an entrance. The Pratap Bose-designed styling has sharper lines than your uncle’s politics, and decals that scream “I mean business” even when it’s parked under a neem tree.
The mudguards? Sculpted like body armour. The tail lamps? Sexy enough to be on a Ducati. Wheels? Bigger than most people’s dreams—30-inch at the back, 24-inch in the front, wrapped in Ceat Samraat Super and Aayushmaan HD tyres. No, seriously, these tyres sound like they could run for elections.
Specs That Could Scare a Bull
- 3822 cc, 4-cylinder, CRDe diesel engine
- 73 horsepower and 320 Nm torque
- Top speed: 36 kmph forward, 34 kmph reverse—yes, reverse. You can run away from your problems at full speed.
- 15 forward + 15 reverse gears, because apparently, one reverse gear just wasn’t enough.
- 3.8-metre turning radius—perfect for tight turns, or for impressing your crush with tractor donuts in the field.
- 4WD with high, medium, low modes. Basically, the Range Rover of the rice field.
Comfort? We Have Captain’s Seat, Baby.
You sit on a 4-way adjustable captain seat with armrests and vinyl upholstery—because spine health matters, even if you’re spending the day pulling a disc harrow. Plus, rollover protection, fibre canopy, and power steering, which means your dad will finally stop saying “tractors mein aaj kal sab kuch aasan ho gaya hai.”
Oh, and there’s a hand accelerator, because obviously, this is a rocket disguised as a tractor.
Technology So Advanced, Your Smartphone Might Feel Insecure
With DiGiSense 4G, you can control your tractor from your phone like it’s a Tesla on a wheat diet. Track it, monitor its vitals, yell at it (virtually), even get live updates of your farming activity—except for when your chacha parks it at the tea stall.
There’s also an advanced diagnostic system. So before you even hear a noise, the tractor itself tells you what’s wrong. It’s practically a therapist for itself.
Lifting Power? More Than Your Gym Bro.
The 2900 kg hydraulic lifting capacity is enough to carry your hopes, dreams, and that massive potato planter. Want to use a cultivator, harrow, seed drill, baler, gyrovator, or something that sounds like a Marvel villain? Novo’s got your back.
Add to that the Next-gen Mahalift Hydraulics, 56 L/min flow, and it lifts like a dream, while your cousin’s tractor struggles with a trailer of hay.
Fuel Economy & Maintenance?
- 60-litre tank
- 7 litres/hour fuel consumption
- Service every 400 hours, and it’ll cost you around ₹6,000. Basically, it eats less than your family during a wedding.
Plus, with Mahindra’s 6-year warranty, you can rest easy. That’s more warranty than most people’s relationships.
Awards & Pedigree? Sirf Kheti Nahi, Quality Ka Bhi Boss
Winner of the Deming Prize and the Japanese Quality Medal, Mahindra tractors have more medals than your cousin’s cricket league. And if you’re wondering about credibility—Mahindra is the highest-selling tractor brand in the world, making 1.5 lakh tractors per year, with sales across 40 countries.
Assembly happens in Nagpur and Zaheerabad, so you can proudly say, “Ye wala India mein bana hai bhai, koi Chinese maal nahi.”
Modes & More Modes
- Diesel Save Mode – for the frugal farmer in you.
- Normal Mode – the “chai-samosa” mode: balanced.
- Power Mode – for days when you want to tell the soil, “Beta, main tera baap hoon.”
Add the dual SLIPTO clutch, multi-speed PTO, and forward-reverse shuttle shift, and you’ve got a tractor that can not only plough fields but also moonwalk backwards if you ask nicely.
Final Verdict: Buy It If You Want to Feel Like Baahubali of Farming
The Mahindra Novo 755 DI PP 4WD V1 is not just a tractor. It’s an experience. It’s the Batmobile for the Desi Farmer. If Batman farmed in Punjab, this is what he’d drive.
Sure, it’s a bit pricey, but then again, so are all great things in life—like love, mangoes in December, and diesel.
So if you’re looking to dominate your field (literally), look no further. The Novo is calling. Answer it before your neighbour does.
