So I bought a Mahindra 4035 with a FEl and mechanical shuttle. It had 125 hours on it and (so I was told) has always been stored inside. I bought this tractor sight unseen, and had it delivered to me. From a distance the tractor looks to be brand new. A few surface scratches but nothing to get excited about. Tires look brand new. Once you get up close to it, the quality of the paint on the frame of the tractor is horrible. There is rust starting to come through on several places on the tractor. The bottom of the 3 point hitch lift arms are completely rusted, just like they were never painted. I have tractors that are 8-10 years old that have better paint on the body than this 2 year old one. I'm wondering if this is the finish on all Mahindras?
