Hitch it to any 15 HP+ tractor's PTO and it collects, chops and blows fine bhusa into the trolley, a full trolley in 20–25 minutes, supplied to Punjab factory-direct from Ahmedabad.
Sunidhi Agrotech Pvt Ltd builds the SAT-L401 straw loader, the tractor bhusa machine, at its plant in Kuha, Ahmedabad, and supplies it across Punjab through its dealer network there. It mounts on a standard 3-point linkage and runs off a 540 RPM PTO, so any tractor of 15 HP and above can drive it. A 1500 mm pickup collects straw lying in the field, an integrated cutter chops it into fine bhusa as it loads, and a centrifugal blower fills the trolley: one full trolley in 20 to 25 minutes. Punjab grew 3.51 million hectares of wheat and 3.24 million hectares of paddy in 2024-25, and it is one of the states covered by the central Crop Residue Management scheme. It handles wheat and paddy straw as well as barley, oats, jowar and dry fodder. The price starts at ₹85,000 factory-direct (₹85,000–₹95,000), with a 1 year warranty from delivery; transport is charged separately at actual cost by distance.

Straw left in the field is a problem here, not just a waste: burning it is restricted and residue management is an active policy. Loading it as bhusa turns that problem into fodder stock or a saleable product, and because the loader chops as it collects, there is no second machine to hire.

In Punjab, farm machinery subsidies are applied for through Punjab's agricultural machinery portal (agrimachinerypb.com). The central Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) publishes schemes and registered manufacturers at agrimachinery.nic.in. Punjab is also one of the states covered by the central Crop Residue Management (CRM) scheme for straw-management machinery; whether a particular machine qualifies depends on the scheme's current machine list. 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. We can share the category used in earlier approvals.
Punjab is served through dealers who handle local service and stock fast-moving spares, with delivery to the farm.
Every machine is load-tested before dispatch and covered for manufacturing defects for 1 year from the date of delivery.
Wear parts come from the same Ahmedabad line that built your machine, with fast-moving parts on dealer shelves.
Hands-on training on delivery day, so the machine earns from its first field.
