Having worked with their tractors briefly, I'm not sure I'd ever want to "trust" an "off-road" vehicle built by them either. The tractors-while they "look" ok, are garbage and, at least in this area, have ZERO product support, so when (not if) something goes haywire, parts have to come from Timbuktu. That's in India, right?
I won't soon forget that old 50hp Mahindra tractor I was stuck working on. The transmission case was broken. Right where the bellhousing "bells" out from the front case. The material it was made from reminded me of the absolute cheapeset paper thin cast iron I'd seen that came out of the chinese "iron" factory. I couldn't believe it. It wasn't particularly hard to work on but the thickness of the material and also it's brittleness were amazing. How'd the rest of it stay together? Guy fixed it, and traded it off ASAP. It went to Missouri the last I heard, thank goodness. Hope I never see any more of them.
....And...some may or may not know it, but Mahindra is backing Intimidator UTV and Spartan mower as well. That's the only reason they're still going, IMO.
Might be different experiences elsewhere but mine have been really negative.
Leave it to an offshore company to build an almost exact copy of something that Americans built. Speaks volumes in itself. You mean they couldn't come up with something original??
