Punjab is producing 60% of total grain of country. In
this achievement no doubt good seed, medicine and hard
work of farmer is involved but we cannot deny the
contribution of agricultural machinery.
This modernization in machinery came from a small town,
Bhadsaon, which is now on the agricultural machinery map
of India. This was possible only due to hard work of
Kartar Combine Family. They have developed seed drill
thrasher, which was later known as Bhadsaon Type. |

In 1974 they got the credit to develop the first combine in
India. But the government did not allowed them to manufacture
their product on large scale. They further modified it and
made it to work on a tractor. In 1983 a team of Central
Government Inspected and gave them the certificate of COB
(Carry On Business).
In 1984 company got an honuor to export one self propeller two
tractor driven combines to Pakistan. 1987 was a golden year in
the history of Kartar Combine. They received State
Productivity Award and The National Award. In 1996, they
exported machines to West Africa, South Africa, Zambia
(Lusaka). Now they have developed maze-hader machine, paddy
transplant machine, and Kartar hair ballor sugar cane
transplant machine.
With the cooperation and hard work of the family they have
established there brand. They have been selling 100-110
machines of different models per year. With the efforts of all
the family members they have achieved various awards and
honors. |
