An old thread but would love to know how the tractor is doing a little over a year later. I recently switched over from a great Kubota L2501. I needed something bigger and the 4540 fits the bill.
With most Mahindra threads, after a year It’s probably been sold and replaced by a better brand after a myriad of mysterious issues

What a ridiculous thing to say. I bet he has had no problems with that tractor because he was taught correctly. Most problems with any equipment is caused by the operator not the equipment.

He did post a followup about a year ago, his only other thread to date.
He hasn't been on TBN since April, I would be interested in hearing how things are going as well.

Ha ha - this looks like the old FORD vs CHEVY debate. Both good.
Pick one and use it and maintain it properly for the best results.

Op has probably been busy using that new rig while the rest of us are sitting here online!

I like the fact that he seems to be a productive, thoughtful person and joined here to give a well thought-out review of his buying experience. OP congrats on the tractor, welcome, and please feel free to post some more. PS - we like pictures :)

Won't find too many of those anymore.
Still plenty of yuk-tuk types and some more modern Tata's
I can still hear the rattle of riding in Mumbai taxis while I type this

Haha - That Meera looks the same coming and going :LOL:
Here's a cheap shot of me posting my Ford - since you brought up the subject.
