The diesel SAT-R101 takes crop up to 10 feet tall, cuts bajra (pearl millet) near the ground and lays the stalks in a windrow, so both the earheads and the kadbi fodder come home.
A bajra reaper machine is a self-propelled harvester that cuts standing bajra (pearl millet) near the ground and lays the plants in a windrow, earheads and stalks together. Because bajra grows tall, Sunidhi Agrotech recommends the SAT-R101 with its 5 HP Greaves diesel engine and 3-belt drive, which handles crop up to 10 feet. It cuts as low as 4 cm and covers about an acre an hour.
In bajra country the stalk is half the crop. Dry bajra kadbi carries cattle through the summer, so a harvest that chops or burns it throws away fodder the farmer would otherwise have to buy. A reaper lays the whole plant down in one pass; the earheads are cut off for threshing and the stalks are stacked as they are.

Bajra is mainly a kharif crop, harvested in September and October. Gujarat also grows a summer bajra crop.

| Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh | Kharif | September – October |
| Gujarat, Maharashtra | Kharif | September – October |

The diesel SAT-R101 takes crop up to 10 ft, so tall bajra goes through without jamming.
Cutting at 4 cm keeps the full stalk for dry fodder instead of leaving it standing in the field.
