3.8/5
★★★½☆Expert Score
The Sonalika MM 18 is a unique product targeting the mini tractor segment in India. At 18 HP, it is designed for vegetable farmers, orchard owners, and poly house growers where a compact maneuverable machine is needed. The most affordable Sonalika, it is accessible for small farmers and women-led farming groups. The light weight ensures minimal soil compaction — a real advantage in vegetable and flower farming. This is not intended for main-crop cultivation on larger farms. Buyers needing both orchard and field operations should consider it as a companion to a full-size tractor.
Verdict: Niche mini tractor perfect for vegetable growers and orchard specialists

Perfect for vegetables
Works very well in tomato and chilli fields. It is very light, so the crop is not damaged. It uses very little fuel too. Best for small farms.

Easy to operate for women. I use it in my 2-acre strawberry farm. Very light and compact. Very happy with this purchase. No problems in 10 months of use.

Good but very limited
Good for small plots but cannot do much beyond light cultivation and spraying. If you have a bigger farm you will need an additional tractor. But for orchard work it is perfect.
