In 1975, when the country had high agricultural productivity and also high crop losses due to non-availability of appropriate harvesting and threshing machines, Sardar Nachhattar Singh, the present MD of Standard Tractors, was silently working on a machine which could harvest the crop and thresh it as well. With own know-how, he successfully developed some low-cost combine harvester units and started manufacturing first tractor-driven and later self-propelled combine harvester from a small manufacturing unit, now the well known and burgeoning Company ‘Standard Combines Pvt. Ltd.’ Established by him in around 1980. Mass production of combine harvesters in commercial scale starred in 1980. Today ‘Standard Combines’, the Combine Division of Standard Combines Pvt. Ltd., is the largest manufacturer of tractor-driven combine harvesters India. Standard Combines is also producing self-propelled combines (with 16 feet cutter bar), straw reaper, and tractor-mounted spray boom with a capacity to spray up to 46 feet width. The Company exports tractor-driven combines to South African countries. Tie up process with selected European countries is also underway. The parent company has later (in 2000) opened a separate Tractor Division, named ‘Standard Tractors’. Each and every Standard machine evolves and passes out through adequate R&D; and after sale service is ensured for each customer. ‘STANDARD’ is now a household name among the farmers for producing and supplying high-quality cost-effective agricultural machines and equipment from both ' Standard Combines ’ and ‘ Standard Tractors’. STANDARD- produced quality tractors have features useful to farmers for better efficiency and less maintenance cost.
