Expert Review
By the Khetikyari Editorial Team
4.5/5
★★★★½Expert Score
The Sonalika DI 60 Sikander sits at the apex of Sonalika's lineup and is designed for farmers and contractors who need maximum power without crossing into John Deere or Kubota pricing. At 60 HP it is one of the most powerful tractors from an Indian manufacturer at this price. The engine delivers outstanding torque for subsoiler work, deep ploughing in black cotton soil, and the largest rotavators. Primary market is custom hiring operators in Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. For individual farmers, the Mahindra Arjun Novo 605 DI-i is a strong alternative worth comparing.
Verdict: Best high-power Indian tractor for commercial contractors at accessible price

A power machine for custom hiring
I have 3 of these machines. Runs a 9-foot rotavator very smoothly. Works up to 15 hours a day without stopping. Best investment for custom hiring in Punjab. Great value for money.

King of black soil
The 60 HP engine works magic in black soil. Deep ploughing is easy too. Cheaper than the Mahindra 605 DI and works just as well. Very happy with this tractor.

Great for commercial use
Running custom operations on cotton and sugarcane farms. Fuel cost is high but the productivity fully compensates for it. Very reliable machine with excellent power delivery.
