Thanks! Can't wait to be able to sit in it and know it's mine and I can let the hour meter run!

Mahindra USA, is responsible for sales in the North American continent. Mahindra has three assembly plants in the US. One assembly plant is at its North American headquarters in Houston, Texas, another in Red Bluff, California and the latest assembly and distribution center moved from Calhoun, Georgia to Chattanooga, Tennessee at the end of 2009. In August of 2012, Mahindra USA opened its fourth assembly and distribution center in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.

The blower unit is made in Quebec Canada.

haven't heard to much about those tractors, do they make their own engines? are you getting a gas or diesel?

Me either, until I was made aware of them! They have actually been the #1 selling tractor brand in the world for many years, mainly due to sales in India and China. Just got into the US around 10-15 years ago, so have some catching up to do with Deere and Kubota. I did a lot of research on the brand and it seemed like owners were very happy with them and the reliability.

It is a 3 cylinder diesel.

A few farmers I know have a couple of these..good tractor for the price point. And unlike knock off tractors these are not to hard to find parts for.

A dealer down this way has sold hundreds of them over the last 7 or so years, and he is still in business !
Neighbor up the road has one, treats it like he stole it and it takes it very well.

Thanks all! I keep waking up at night thinking about it and having a hard time getting back to sleep. Sort of an adult Christmas Eve syndrome!

The fuel tank is 7.1 gallons. I already have my diesel can, but am thinking of getting one of those 15 gallon jobs with the nozzle. Then I can just use the tractor to lift it out of the truck.

Oh, and plan to get one of these so I do not get hit by any crazies driving down our road while I move snow at the end of the driveway.

Man, I'm such a little kid!

PS. Mark, it will not cut wood, but it sure will help move it! :D Already have plans to modify the wood shed so it will fit inside to help with moving wood.

Every time i have driven by there, i ask myself, i wonder if that is the one John is going to get? I guess the answer is yes! Sweet! Two passes down the driveway, and your done! How wide is the thrower, 5 foot?

The blower is 5 1/2 feet wide, so probably 3 passes and I am done! Biggest help will come with the parking area.

The tractor with cab will be just a bit too tall to fit in the shop, but the plans are to add an insulated/heated lean-to to the shop and keep it as well as the ATV's in there. That way there will be enough room in the shop for the sleds and Nora's vehicle. So no more cold and snow covered vehicle for Nora.

As far as the vacation for Nora goes, it is on the table for her to accept! Something tells me she is going to have almost as much fun in the tractor as I am!

Boy that thing is going to be awesome. I looked at the Deere 3520 with a cab, bucket, blower, & rototiller that was going to push $40k. I simply couldn't do that now, I did also scope out the Mahindra and it looks like they had good reviews and were a bunch cheaper. They cost less but didn't seem to be made "less worthy" of a purchase.

Please keep us posted when you put it through some tests...... Did you try Kubota and Deere, ride em?

I would love to hear how it moves any late season heavy snow. I am interested in a real world review.

Enjoy, I bet you'll even get up earlier to use it!!
