One operator, about an acre an hour, cutting as low as 4 cm: a 5 HP power reaper for the paddy, maize and jowar harvests of Tamil Nadu, supplied factory-direct from Ahmedabad.
Sunidhi Agrotech Pvt Ltd builds its power reapers in Kuha, Ahmedabad, and delivers them anywhere in Tamil Nadu. The self-propelled SAT-R101 runs a 5 HP Greaves diesel engine and the SAT-R102 a 5 HP Honda GX200 petrol engine; both cut as low as 4 cm, cover about an acre an hour and keep crop loss under 0.5%. Tamil Nadu grew 2.16 million hectares of paddy in 2024-25 along with maize and jowar, and cutting at 4 cm recovers the straw as fodder instead of leaving it in the field. For small, bunded or wet plots, the SAT-R201 differential reaper pivots on its own power and locks both wheels when one slips, and the SAT-S701 seat kit turns any of the three into a riding machine in about 30 minutes. Prices start at ₹1,30,000 factory-direct (₹1,35,000 for the differential), with a 1 year warranty from delivery. Transport is charged separately at actual cost by distance.

Paddy is often cut on small plots that are still wet at harvest. That is where the differential SAT-R201 earns its price: the differential lets the machine turn without being dragged, and the lock pulls both wheels together when one starts to slip. On firmer, larger plots the standard SAT-R101 or SAT-R102 does the same cutting for less.

In Tamil Nadu, farm machinery subsidies are applied for through the Agricultural Engineering Department (aed.tn.gov.in). The central Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) publishes schemes and registered manufacturers at agrimachinery.nic.in. Subsidy amounts and eligibility change by year and applicant category, and most schemes need approval before you buy, so confirm the current terms with the agriculture department before placing an order.
