These guys build good stuff for a discount off of the American “names” that are mostly built in China - sadly. Their tractors have awesome warranties. I will be looking at their off-road stuff when I retire my current UTE.

Mahindra bought the tooling for the International harvester B250/B414 when IH discontinued the line. It continued to manufacture basically the same tractor (with sheetmetal changes and, I believe, the diesel version only) for several decades. I haven’t looked at their current offerings, but I wouldn’t be suprised if some of the new models still trace their lines back to IH.

In fact, if you order replacement B414 parts from IH, they come in Mahindra-branded boxes.

We have a B414 (circa 1962) and it’s been a great tractor. Just a bit bigger than a Ford N with a few extra features. Good basis for a small-plot compact tractor.

My next compact tractor will probably be 4wd, but Mahindra’s near the top of my list.

If it’s not green the it’s not a tractor.

I own a Mahindra 1526 HST tractor with the front end loader and I love it. Turf tires, hydrostatic transmission and 26 hp 3 cylinder Mitsubishi diesel engine.
