Mahindra Light Duty Performance
Model Year: 2008
I use my 2015 Diesel Mahindra with a brush hog, an augur and a box scraper, as well as hauling with the front bucket. As a "light duty" tractor for mowing, land shaping and post hole digging, it has been an excellent value for the money. I only have 2.5 acres of orchard and woodland, but must keep the grass down due to fire hazard in the summer, and have scraped out a 100 foot driveway, a pad for a RV shed, drilled many holes for fence posts and stump removal and brush hauling to the burn pile as well as wood gathering and hauling for the winter wood supply. I had one problem with replacing a tire, but it was not Mahindra's problem, it was my local tire dealer. It caused some corrosion on the rim which I still have to deal with. And, the air filter cost me 45 dollars this spring. Parts and maintenence can be expensive on a higher use machine, I am sure. That is my only real complaint. Otherwise, the tractor has been flawless over the last 6 years. I would recommend Mahindra to small landowners on a tight budget, but would never rule out the other Made in USA and more popular brands. Mahindra quality so far has been equal to those, but only time will tell.
Pros: Reliability.
Cons: Cost of filters and parts.
