Swaraj 735 FE vs XT: Price, Engine, Mileage & Implements

Swaraj 735 FE vs Swaraj 735 XT: Tractor Comparison

In the Swaraj 735 range, two tractors confuse most buyers: the FE and the XT. They look alike in the showroom, cost nearly the same and carry a 6-year warranty. The real difference lies in the bonnet. Also, how each of the models works with a rotavator, a cultivator or a loaded trolley.

Quick view:

• Swaraj 735 FE: 40 HP, 2734 cc engine, ₹5.83 to 6.18 lakh (ex-showroom)
• Swaraj 735 XT: 42 HP, 3307.5 cc engine, ₹5.93 to 6.33 lakh (ex-showroom)
• Same on both: 8 forward + 2 reverse gears, OIB, 1650 kg lifting capacity, 2WD
• Different on both: engine size, rated RPM, fuel tank and weight

Swaraj 735 FE vs XT: Features & Specifications

This blog compares the two tractors on engine, gearbox, fuel tank, price & implements. Match each point with your farm soil and work before choosing.

Engine Performance

The Swaraj 735 FE is a 40 HP tractor with an engine cc of 2734. The engine is equipped with three cylinders running at a rated speed of 1800 RPM.

The Swaraj 735 XT moves up to 42 HP with a 3307.5 cc engine rated at 2000 RPM. The HP difference in both of the models is 2 HP. However, the jump of more than 570 cc in engine size is the bigger change.
The extra engine size of the XT mainly helps in pulling work, like deep tillage in hard soil. The XT is also heavier at 1905 kg, while the Swaraj 735 FE weighs 1830 kg.

Key Specs: 

Transmission

The gear count is the same, 8 forward and 2 reverse, with a sliding mesh or PCM gearbox on both. Each tractor comes with a single or a dual clutch. For rotavator, thresher or water pump work the dual clutch is the suitable choice. The reason is the PTO keeps running while the clutch is pressed.

The speed range is almost identical. The FE runs from 2.30 to 27.80 km/h in forward, and the XT from 2.2 to 28.5 km/h. Reverse speed stays near 10.5–10.7 km/h on both.

Fuel Tank, Brakes & Steering

The Swaraj 735 FE fuel tank capacity is 48 L, three litres more than the 45 litres of the XT. A bigger tank means fewer stops on long ploughing days. Both tractors use OIB, which gives better stopping force on wet or muddy ground. Moreover, both offer power or mechanical steering. For long hours in the seat, both of them also get a deluxe driver seat, a digital instrument cluster & bumper mounting pads.

Swaraj tractor mileage has no fixed per litre number, because fuel use depends on soil, implement and load. The Swaraj 735 FE mileage at roughly 3 to 4.5 litres an hour, from light haulage to rotavator work, and reports from XT owners fall in a similar zone. 

Treat these as rough figures. A bigger engine can burn a little more diesel under heavy load, but driving habits and field conditions change mileage.

Price Comparison

The Swaraj 735 FE price is ₹5.83–6.18 lakh (ex-showroom), and the Swaraj 735 XT goes from ₹5.93 to ₹6.33 lakh. That makes the XT about ₹10,000 costlier at the lower end and ₹15,000 at the top end. 

Swaraj 735 on road price will be higher than these numbers, as RTO charges, insurance and accessories get added. The on road price changes from state to state. Even the Swaraj 735 price in Punjab can differ from Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh, so a written quote from the Swaraj dealer is the safest way to know the final amount.

Running costs stay close on both. Each tractor comes with a six year warranty and a 400 hour service interval.

Hydraulics & Suitable Implements

Both tractors lift 1650 kg at the 3 point linkage, with Automatic Depth and Draft Control (ADDC) and Category I and II linkage pins. PTO speed is 540 RPM on both, so the same set of implements fits either tractor. Front tyres are 6 x 16 on both, and the rear tyre size goes up to 13.6 x 28, which gives steady grip while the implement is working.

For Swaraj 735 FE for rotavator work, mid size rotavators are the perfect choice. The same goes for cultivators, MB ploughs, seed drills, sprayers and threshers. The XT runs the same implements, and its bigger engine gives it compatibility in hard, dry soil or when the rotavator cuts deep. 

Implements that suit both tractors:

• Cultivator and harrow
• MB plough
• Rotavator (medium size)
• Seed drill and planter
• PTO driven sprayer and thresher
• Trolley for haulage

Which One Should You Buy?

Pick the Swaraj 735 FE if:

• The budget is tight and daily work is ploughing, sowing, spraying and haulage
• Longer hours between refuelling matter, thanks to the 48-litre tank
• The farm is small or medium and the soil is not too heavy

Pick the Swaraj 735 XT if:

• The soil is hard and tillage work is deep and frequent
• The rotavator or cultivator runs for long hours and extra engine reserve helps
• An extra ₹10,000 to 15,000 is fine for the 42 HP, 3307.5 cc engine

Conclusion

The Swaraj FE saves you money on the price and has a bigger fuel tank so you can work longer without stopping. The Swaraj XT comes with a bigger, more powerful engine to handle heavy work in tough soils.

Before buying, check the exact price in your state and visit your nearest Swaraj dealer. Be sure to take a test drive in the field using the specific agricultural implement you use the most on your farm.
