In our case, we had a british built 434 that was built for Canada, and ended up here in the USA. We thought it would be best to get rid of it while it still ran good after the 3pt stopped working, the dealer didn't want to touch it, the brakes didn't work very good for us and never did, had to put your body weight into braking to get much stopping power. The 484 is way better, but your right, it depends on how much your going to use it, a 484 will run more money, but they're worth the extra money from my experience. I prefer the hydrolic assist brakes the 484 has, so easy to work, takes very little effort to lock up the wheels. The 484 is also a real fuel sipper and really something to have if your going to do alot with it, can run all day on 5 gallons of fuel, so it will keep you smiling when fuel gets up to $4 a gallon as predicted, and it's better on fuel than the 434. Another thing that 434 was good for was getting stuck inbetween gears, the shift rails would fall out of place and it would get locked right up, then you'd have to take the top of the transmission off to fix it. The 484 does not have that problem. I don't have any mahindra dealers in my area, but I wouldn't go back to a 434 anyways. Your right, for the fellow doing alittle yard work with it, it would be fine.
