Will it help or hurt your business if that is true ,since you are a Dealer for Long Farmtrac, Kioti, Farm Pro, KAMA ? Two years ago when I was looking, I found out a lot about brand and where they were actually made. What a surprise (France,Italy,Romania,Korea, Japan)
I also looked at Chinese Tractors.( the dealer I test drove a Dong Feng tractor is no longer in business)
IMO, If Mahindra brings up the Quality of the chinese tractor than they made a good move by simply beating the other big name tractor companies to China. if not they could kiss the US market share they worked hard to build GOODBYE. I'm old enough to remember the first imports from Japan, they were garbage, but now the quality of their imports are now high, and in some cases far superior, don't know if in my lifetime China will reach that level, but it seems its starting all over again.
Good or Bad , its out of my hands, Its all part of the GLOBAL ECONOMY.

Lenar made by Mahindra
Just in case you are wondering, I own a Mahindra (India) made in Korea, Model 4110, and it has performed as well as any tractor I have ever used in the past. Would I buy this tractor again, YES
