TAFE (Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited) is an Indian tractor manufacturer based in Chennai with a long-standing licensing and shareholding partnership with Massey Ferguson for the Indian market; this collective page gathers the TAFE models outside the named ranges. The DI suffix in type designations such as 25 DI, 35 DI or 45 DI stands for Direct Injection, a key selling point over older pre-chamber engines in the Indian market.

The register lists here 35 versions with 14 to 127 kW (19 to 100 hp) from three- and four-cylinder engines, powered mostly by units from TAFE's sister company Simpson as well as Mitsubishi and Perkins engines.
With this wide power range TAFE covers everything from the small row-crop tractor to the mid-range field tractor, serving the core of Indian agriculture, where the brand ranks among the largest manufacturers alongside Mahindra and Escorts and increasingly exports to Africa, South-East Asia and other emerging markets.
Buying used, on the Simpson engines check the condition of the injection pump and cylinder head, on all types the clutch, brakes and hydraulic lift, since these tractors are often used intensively in dusty and variably humid conditions; parts supply through the TAFE and Simpson networks is very good in India, but noticeably more limited outside the subcontinent.
