A few comments about a few things mentioned in these posts. Mahindra has been making tractors longer than Kubota - it's NOT a new company. Mahindra has made tractors since the mid-1940s. Kubota started as a metal pipe company and made it's first four wheel tractor around 1960. Mahindra also made Willys Jeeps for the military circa WWII. Seems the Mahindra tractors got better noticed after they entered into a joint-venture with International Harvester and Volta in 1963 that resulted in tractors like the B-275, B-414, B-424, etc being sold in the USA and Canada.
Kubota makes some great engines and some great engines. They are also pricey. Mahindra also makes some very good equipment and some have great parts support. I'd pay attention to price - and - the design of the particular tractor you're interested in. Some of the Mahindra tractors are based on time-tested platforms and parts availability will not be a problem. Some others are totally new designs - and with them, who knows? I'll tell you this. I've worked on some 1960s and 1970s Kubotas and parts are just about impossible to find. On the other hand, I have several 1960s IH-Mahindra tractors and I can still get just about anything - aftermarket or . . . direct from Case/IH.
