Escorts Kubota Celebrates 30 Years of Farmtrac With 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition’ and PROMAXX 2.0

Faridabad, September 2, 2026: Escorts Kubota Limited has marked three decades of its Farmtrac tractor brand in India with the launch of the 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition’ and the expansion of its PROMAXX range under PROMAXX 2.0. The new portfolio additions are aimed at farmers looking for higher power, torque, advanced features and 4WD capabilities for demanding agricultural applications.

The Farmtrac 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition’ is the first all-black tractor in Farmtrac’s history. The 55 HP category tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. Alongside it, Escorts Kubota has introduced two models under the PROMAXX 2.0 range—the 47 HT PROMAXX and 50 PROMAXX, rated at 47 HP and 50 HP category, respectively. Both models are available in 2WD and 4WD options.

Farmtrac was launched by Escorts in India in 1995 and currently offers tractors ranging from 26 HP to 60 HP. Escorts Kubota operates three tractor brands in the Indian market—Kubota, Farmtrac and Powertrac—serving premium, entry-premium and value segments, respectively.

Farmtrac 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition

The Farmtrac 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition’ is powered by a four-cylinder, 3682 cc engine that delivers maximum torque of 247 Nm. The tractor comes with a 2,500 kg heavy-duty hydraulic lift, premium LED lighting and a heat shield.

The tractor has been designed for larger landholdings and demanding farming applications. It can be used with implements such as super seeders, laser levellers, reversible MB ploughs, rotavators and harrows. The tractor is also positioned for heavy haulage applications.

Available in both 2WD and 4WD variants, the 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition’ combines its all-black styling with features aimed at high-productivity farming operations.

PROMAXX 2.0 Range Expanded Up to 50 HP

With the PROMAXX 2.0 expansion, Farmtrac has added the 47 HT PROMAXX and 50 PROMAXX to its portfolio. The two models are powered by a 3514 cc HT (High Torque) engine delivering up to 230 Nm of torque.

Both tractors feature a 12 forward + 3 reverse gearbox, along with a creeper speed option and a spacious flat platform designed to enhance operator comfort. The 47 HT PROMAXX and 50 PROMAXX are available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations.

The new PROMAXX models are positioned for farmers undertaking applications that require higher torque and traction, particularly with the availability of 4WD variants.

Escorts Kubota on Farmtrac’s 30-Year Journey

Commenting on the launch, Nikhil Nanda, Chairman and Managing Director said, "The 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition’ and the PROMAXX 2.0 range are in line with our vision of strengthening the portfolio through focused, application-led products. Farmtrac has completed three decades in India, and the brand continues to anchor our position across key horsepower categories. Each such introduction is a deliberate step towards our ambition of a stronger market position in India."

Akira Kato, Deputy Managing Director said, "The 41 to 50 HP category continues to dominate the domestic market as the largest segment. However, customer demand within this space is shifting rapidly towards four-wheel drive and higher torque, driven by farmers undertaking more demanding applications. The 47 HT PROMAXX and the 50 PROMAXX represent a natural progression for a series that has already established a strong market presence, and the ‘Dark Edition’ extends that same choice of drive and styling into the premium 55 HP category."

Neeraj Mehra, Chief Officer, Tractor Business Division added, "Over the past five to eight years, the rising adoption of heavy-duty mechanisation, coupled with a new generation of youth entering agriculture as primary decision-makers, has significantly evolved customer expectations. Farmers today are shifting away from basic tractors towards multi-utility machines that offer superior comfort and modern styling. The PROMAXX 2.0 answers that with its HT engine, creeper speed option and spacious flat platform, while the 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition’, Farmtrac's first ever black tractor, pairs a bold aesthetic with robust performance. We are confident both launches will strengthen the Farmtrac brand and expand our footprint among progressive, technologically advanced farming communities."

New Farmtrac Tractors Available Through Dealer Network

The Farmtrac 6055 Classic ‘Dark Edition’, 47 HT PROMAXX and 50 PROMAXX are being introduced through Farmtrac’s authorized dealer network across India.

With these additions, Escorts Kubota has expanded its Farmtrac portfolio across the mid- to higher-horsepower categories, offering farmers more choices in terms of power, torque and 2WD or 4WD configurations.
