No problem. Mahindra is very diverse and very big. More than that, they are determined to be a huge global player, and you really can't be global if you ignore the USA. It is a key part of their plan, and they will remain. As a dealer, I appreciate that they are behaving right now as a solid company behaves, not like a failing company. They are not trying to cram inventory on dealers lots and work crazy deals to push inventory. Instead, they are encouraging dealers to turn existing inventory, to watch debt load, to focus on service and customer satisfaction, etc. They are coming up with programs to push retail sales, realizing that a tractor really isn't sold until it is retailed. A failing company does not behave that way, as you can see from the terrible way the Farmtrac dealers were treated before they closed the doors.
The new 35 series is a great machine. Compare them side by side with any brand of tractor and the build quality and heftiness is impressive.
Mahindra resale is strongest where their dealer network is strongest. In our area, resale is strong. If someone can point me to a place where I can get a truckload of nice (not beaters) used Mahindra's cheap, I'll buy them. I can't get enough of them.
