its my understanding a class one hitch is a class one regardless. what your dealer is likely telling you is that the tractor your looking at simply has a class one hitch and not a class 0 like most sub compacts. LOTS of equipment built can be used on the next size hitch. PULLING that equipment is another matter entirely. dealer is just using a marketing ploy. and what he is telling you may or may not be good.if in fact that tractor has a class 1 hitch,without the actual hp,weight,etc to use it,you could be in even worse shape,simply because youll either have to change pins in all your cat 0 equipment or bush your lift arms every time you hook up to it.simply put theres pros and cons to this. i think youll soon find that swapping pins ,keeping up with bushings etc gets old fast.most folks wind up having two sets of equipment which is what your dealer is working towards. IF your buying this tractor on this fact alone make sure it will actually pull your cat 1 equipment. normally the catagory of the hitch is determined by the hp class.you probably are looking at a tractor at the upper end of the cat0 range,which will make it walk and talk with cat0 equipment,but will be at the very bottom of the cat1 class.does little good to have the hitch without the tractor to operate it.as far as mahindra goes,ive personaly seen folks who swear by them ,and others curse them as trash. the ones ive been around gave good service but they were used with equipment made for that tractor.in this case,and my own opinion,if you use cat1 equipment it will be like any other tractor ,one working fully loaded all the time simply wont give the service life.
