Solis Farm range: collective page of tractors 50 to 90 CRDI from Sonalika/International Tractors of Hoshiarpur, India, three- and four-cylinder common-rail diesels, 37 to 66 kW (50 to 90 hp)

The Farm range from the Solis brand is built by International Tractors Limited (ITL) in Hoshiarpur, in the Indian state of Punjab; Solis is the brand name used mainly for export alongside the parent brand Sonalika. The model numbers 50, 75 and 90 denote the approximate power class in horsepower, and the CRDI suffix stands for Common Rail Direct Injection, the electronically controlled common-rail injection of the diesel engines.

The register lists 3 versions with 37 to 66 kW (50 to 90 hp) from three- and four-cylinder diesel engines of 2,893 to 4,085 cm³, unladen weights of 2,841 to 3,255 kg, lift capacities of 1,600 to 2,500 kg, lengths of 3,820 to 4,285 mm, widths of 1,764 to 1,980 mm and heights of 2,490 to 2,810 mm, at rated speeds of 2,000 to 2,200 rpm.

Indian makers such as Sonalika/Solis now rank among the world's largest tractor builders and are increasingly exporting to Europe, North America and Africa, where they compete on lower purchase costs against established brands; the Farm range covers the mid power segment for standard field work.

When buying used, condition of the common-rail injection, cooling and turbocharger, the gearbox and hydraulics under load, and the PTO and lift all matter; spare-parts availability for this younger import brand depends heavily on the local dealer network.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
  • Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
