2” is the most common. 1 7/8” is for light stuff that get pulled behind little cars. 2 5/16” is for heavy trailers like car haulers and big cargo trailers.
Beyond that it’s into the commercial stuff.

Edit to correct 2 5/16” size.

It depends on what hitch is on your trailers. All of my trailers are 2 5/16". If you have different size hitches on your trailers mount a 2" receiver on back of your tractor and get a tri ball hitch to plug into it.

I standardized a succession of vehicles on 2 inch ball, to match occasional U-Haul rentals.

Later this was correct for three different small travel trailers - two of them pop-up tent trailers.

And got a 2" hitch for it, when I bought a tiny Harbor Freight trailer.

I think 1 7/8" is becoming obsolete, I would't use it for anything.

2 inch is fine for anything you would pull with the Mahindra as a farm implement. If you need to move around a big heavy road trailer, would be the only reason to get the multiple ball mount including a larger ball.

As others said,just purchase heavy duty 2" tho.

As others have noted 2” is pretty typical for bumper pull trailers. Do you need this to move trailers around your place? You might look into a 3-point trailer mover.

Agreed, for a tractor that is probably going to be used as a "tug" for all sorts of stuff, a tri-ball is the way to go.
