Most reliable tractors in the 30-40Hp range

He may not be, but I am. I wish there were sites similar to Consumer Reports, for tractors. I am considering a Mahindra 5035 HST. Most reviews seem pretty good, though some people have had problems. But it is all anecdotal. There is no objective source of information I could find. The only objective things I have uncovered are that it is the largest HST tractor on the market, as far as I can tell; it is the heaviest in its Hp class, and it really does have more lift capacity. How well does it hold up? That is speculative at this point.

The University of Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory (NTTL) has been testing tractors longer than any other entity (since 1919) in support of the Nebraska Tractor Test Act. However, there is no testing on their site for Mahindra.

I frequent that site looking at a wide range of tractors. It gives a lot of specifics pertaining to performance and power, but I am not sure they address reliability.

True, and there aren't many CUTs represented.
