I’ve seen quite a few videos of tractor uses in India. They have loads behind them that a modern dump truck couldn’t carry. And very drawbar heavy to where they are steering with the brakes. I’ve seen them bounce the front hard too. And pulling on the front, while still hooked on the loads. Sometimes a few tractors in series. I’m wondering what the tractors can take. I’ve been to India and they didn’t seem to have any trouble dismantling what they took apart and put back it together. I’d like to know how the axles, bearings and clutch’s hold out. Is it just common to split the tractors every few years. Curious

I love watching those guys! They certinaly know how to get stuff moved with what they have! Some of those older machines are built a lot tougher and simpler than anything today.

Don't buy a used Mahindra imported from India. :)

No point, why the smiley face is next to the comment. Obviously you lack a sense of humor.
I have a great sense of humor, just curious if you had personal bad experience with owning a Mahindra.
I thought maybe you had some good information on why a person shopping for a tractor should avoid the brand.
