I own a Kubota B26 but was very impressed with Mahindra 509 and 511 backhoes. My only problem was their hydro transmission was not available on any of their tractors which would accept these backhoes. I requested a few price quotes but have yet to get a response.

Anyway I don't blame you for looking at Mahindra. They have great strength and value. I consider each design on its own merit. You must consider your worst case application. In my case I needed a capable TLB to build our new home and would be more a construction oriented equipment. Good luck!
