Description

Meet Mr. Deshraj Dayal, a progressive farmer from Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, who revolutionized his farming experience with Sukoon's Electric Walk Behind Tractor. Previously reliant on ICE equipment, including a brush cutter, Mr. Deshraj faced high operational costs and maintenance hassles. In September 2021, inspired by Sukoon's social media content, he transitioned to Sukoon's electric solution. After six months of successful usage, Mr. Deshraj reported: - Time efficiency improvements - Fuel savings of approximately $1,000 (with 4-5 hours/day usage for 6 months) - Relief from noise, vibrations, and physical strain associated with ICE machines We regularly solicit Mr. Deshraj's feedback throughout his 3-year ownership journey so far, and his success story continues to inspire us.

Impact & Result

Over 3 years, Mr. Deshraj's use of our Electric Walk Behind Tractor has yielded significant environmental and financial benefits. We estimate a total COeq reduction of 5.9 tonnes, while he saved approximately $3,000 in fuel and maintenance costs. With an initial investment of $1,500 on our solution, Mr. Deshraj achieved return on investment (ROI) within 1.5 years.
