I love my Mahindra 5035, but one thing I don't like about the compact frame size, is the lack of storage space. Also, as one poster noted, a lack of tie-downs for trailering or strong pulling points on the front.
My solution was to make a extra heavy duty open top "box", welded to the frame rails. This gives me a place for several chains, shackles, etc. It also gives me a place for tie-downs and/or trailer ball. Of course, it is "overkill", but wanted to cover all bases, using what I had on hand. Would liked to have added a 2" receiver, but it would not work with the FEL.
