Actually, the pivot pin has really long been the standard because not all attachments are designed the same. There are some other standards that are being measured now in addition to the pivot point.
Part of the problem may be that Mahindra selects the least expensive, least powerful FEL offered by the other brands for the comparable machine they select. In the case of the Kubota, they chose the LA514 vs. the more powerful LA724. The FEL options for the Deere are more confusing to me, but it's clear Mahindra chose the least powerful loader (300CX) available for the selected tractor.

I am a satisfied Mahindra owner and a fan of the brand... but it seems to me that Mahindra should be a little more forthcoming in their advertising. The comparisons might not look so suspicious if a bit more information was included.
