Mahindra Quality

flienlow · Mar 20, 2015

So I am looking at all types of tractors including a max 24. I know very little about Mahindra and I am curious as to the quality of these tractors. While visiting a local dealer I noticed some rust on the new tractors (max25, and 22) and apparent sun fading on the plastics. To be honest for a new tractor, They weren't pretty. This is making me take a little pause. I am not finding the Mahindra to the inexpensive choice. They seem to command a lot of money, yet for some reason seem a little cheap to me. Am I over looking anything thing? Are these tractors worth the dollar?

Thank you,

Test drive all you can get your hands on see what fits you the best then if it has rust and fading try and make a deal worth some $ off IMO. Mahindra makes as good of tractor as anyone else.

Those faded plastics wont keep it from doing work... the max series is top notch. Check out youtube videos customers put up with them... Max gets amazing feedback. Goodluck

I don't know about the Max, but my brother just picked up a grapple at our local dealer and noticed all the Mahindras were gone now only LS and Gehl equipment. The dealer said he dropped them because of too many repairs and customer complaints. He was a dealer or several years and the only one in our area, so Mahindra owners are now out of luck for repairs and parts. My brother considered buying one last yer an is sure glad he didn't.

I looked at the Max when I was looking for a small machine and personally noticed the same things that were noted and it just didn't seem very polished. I also have a friend that purchased one and had a lot of problems so I just stuck with Kubota. Not saying they are junk or anything like that but it was just not for me.

I wanted an orange for years and looked at them. did my research and bought a mahindra max 25. just beat the orange all the way around. I am pleased with my machine so far - have 28 hrs on it since late Fall. will put many more on this season starting again this weekend. also pushed some serious snow a couple of times too.
Many reviews are **** good from what i have seen and read.

They are as good or better than allthe other makes...none of them are perfect. You wont have any regrets with a Mahindra.

Depends somewhat on if you are looking at TYM manufactured models or Mitsubishi manufactured models.

I have about 55 hours on a Max 28XL and have been very pleased so far. No issues to date. As with all manufactures, there will be some unhappy folks out there. By and large however, I think most Mahindra owners are happy with their purchase, especially with some extra coin in their pocket from not choosing orange or green.

Keeping in mind that those with problems will post on forums more than those who are problem free, do a search on your proposed brand with the additional word <trouble> and <problem> and <customer service>. Do the same for the model as well. Weight negative reviews carefully, as most will be honest, though some will be more than a little PO'd and will be dissing their chosen brand for all they're worth.
