Dang, Mahindra is a heck of a lot heavier than the MX Kubota. No 5035s around to test though. The next step down is 40hp vs the 5035's 50hp. Looks to be around 7000lbs with a box blade and front end loader. Could get that close to 8000 with some added weight.
Would work good for light site work.
You can add weight to the Kubota to bring it up to enough weight to fit your needs. I should also mention the Kubota's with the hst plus transmissions are very nice and convenient to use too.
FWIW, in 2009 Deere changed the hp ratings of the 4520 to 60hp with 50ptohp and the 4720 is 66hp and 56 pto hp. I find the 4520 with the ehydro transmission, autothrottle, loadmatch and separate forward and reverse pedals to work great for grading work. The topntilt kit for the boxblade is controlled by the joystick, so super easy to use too. The 4320 through the 4720 are basically the same machines so same weights too. My 4520 with six front weights and six rear weights is about 5,500 lbs. You can add additional weight of about 450lbs for more front weight and filled rear tires for another 1,100 lbs +-. That would be close to 7,000 lbs for the tractor. The boxblade I have is 1260 lbs and works great for grading imo. I like the fact that it is short enough to manuever well in tight quarters work and it is easy to see what the boxblade is doing.
