Tractors and Farm Equipment (TAFE) on Friday said its entire sub 100 HP range of Massey Ferguson tractors, but one, has been made compatible for use with bio diesel.

"These tractors can use the current five per cent blend of regular diesel with diesel produced by esterising vegetable

oils obtained from corn, jatropha, rape seed etc," TAFE said in a statement.

Since use of edible oil for this purpose is banned in the country, oil from jatropha is normally used for making bio diesel, it added.

TAFE is one of the world's largest manufacturers of tractors and sells about 80,000 units a year that it produces at various plants in Chennai, Kalladipatti (Madurai), Doddabalapur (Bangalore) and Mandidheep (Bhopal).
