- Ask for GST invoice requirements before checkout if the purchase will be used for business records or scheme documentation.
- For spare parts, send the machine model plate and clear photos; visually similar parts can differ by shaft, thread, hose or blade size.

FAQ
Which machines should Palakkad farmers compare first for paddy, wetland paddy, wetland?
Start with Power weeders, Sprayers, Power reapers, Rice mills. Then check field size, crop stage, soil moisture, operator comfort, dispatch timing and spare-part support before choosing a specific model.

Share crop, acreage, row spacing if relevant, field condition, pincode, budget, GST invoice requirement and clear photos of any existing machine or part if fitment is involved.

Use the exact machine model number and part photos. Do not assume similar-looking blades, hoses, guns, auger bits or engine parts will fit another model.
