4/5
★★★★☆Expert Score
The Sonalika DI 35 is a strong performer in the 35–40 HP segment, especially valued in Punjab, UP, and Rajasthan. At 39 HP, it has more pulling power than its model number suggests and competes directly with Mahindra 275 and Swaraj 735. The 3-cylinder DI engine is proven for durability and the fuel efficiency is among the best in class. Sonalika's aggressive pricing makes this a compelling alternative to pricier Mahindra models. A solid choice for first-time buyers who want reliable performance at a lower entry price.
Verdict: Best-value tractor in the 35–40 HP segment for north Indian farmers

Good for mustard and wheat
Works great for wheat and mustard. Easy to operate and maintain. Only issue is the local service center is a bit far but the tractor rarely breaks down so no major problem.

Value for money
Good tractor at this price. No major issues in 18 months. Fuel average of 2.5–3 litres per hour is very good for 39 HP. Will definitely buy Sonalika again.
