I've heard good things about Mahindra but haven't seen one much less a dealer around me.
what is the weight capacity of the bucket and 3 pt? Easily class leading 1560 and 2660 respectively. https://mahindrausa.com/tractors/1600-series/1626-hst-os

That's good! If it holds up as good as its reputation suggests, it should do you well. Get some weight for the 3 pt to balance that bucket. 1000 lbs is not too much.

As far as the extendable 3 point arms - they make hooking up implements much easier. This

Two neighbors have Mahindras and their biggest complaint is the tiny ,poor servicing dealer. If you have a good dealer, I bet you will be happy. If you the blade youre referring to in your package deal is a box blade, that is a very useful combo with the FEL, cutter and blade.
I like the Mahindra’s weight of their tractors. A light tractor is not as useful .

If any of you have model specific information or knowledge that you think might be useful, please let me know. If it were you, which would you choose and why? What else do I need to consider?
My thoughts as of now. On the TYM website, the 264 is describes as a sub-compact. Every spec puts is squarely in the size 2 compact range. I need to lay eyes on it. It is a great deal. I can get a tandem axle trailer and a disc with that for $18,700 all at 5.5%. The Kubota B2610 sits at the top of my list as of right now all things considered. Tractor, implements, 0% financing and insurance under one roof from arguably the best reputed brand. The JD 3025 is a great deal if I can use the FEL control comfortably.
Personally, I've never heard of a TYM.. Anyhoo - Two things: Do all the above have category-1 3-pts? If some are category-0, I'd pass, but that's just me. Second, the JD with cruise control (R) models IIRC, have some other things with that (load match, etc..).. I DO use the cruise control on my JD 3039R for lawn mowing - but I have a rather large yard, and keeping a set speed is tons easier with cruise than with yer foot on a hydro pedal.. BTDT. The stick for the FEL is about a foot++ away from the wheel and I llike that setup for loader work - I do a LOT of it in wintertime..  Take the zero interest, if for say, 60-72 and sign up for 'auto-pay' - no way you're gonna be late... And then if ya win the LOTTO or (whatever) you can always write the reader and pay it off. I did that on my last two - kept the 0% until I ran into some extra funds and then paid it off.. Oh - but ask one other thing: IF paying cash, does that drop the OTD price by a bit (usually $150-200) since many times the dealer is required to pay the 0% offset..

John Deere is trading off of the name they made years ago. They are not the same now. None are made in the US except the high hp models.
Baloney... Example here: http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/007/4/6/7464-john-deere-3039r.htmlNote the factory location...

The loaders are OK if you're OK with the somewhat smaller max lift in height.. I had a loader like that on the previous tractor - and it was a pita. I needed more height - so the FEL I have on this tractor will get to 102 inches, and I use every bit of it at times.. Is there an alternate loader for that tractor available to give you more reach?

From my experience of one tractor purchase, the price is the price, (ir)regardless of cash or finance. The 0% in my case was from kubota, price is negotiated by the dealer.

One might also note the Yanmar engine... They make tractors, but is the green one in question a John Deere factory, or a Yanmar factory? https://www.yanmartractor.com/"Assembled in the USA" may be a better term.

Kubota is the only major compact made in America...JD is assembled here with many foreign parts... Everything I find on this JD plant says "assembled" not manufactured. Where did the parts come from is my question. I found that the 5075, I believe, is made in India. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1zdQezodD8

At just 84 inches it is the lowest lift height in class. The Kioti bests it by 14 inches at 98". I just have to accept that this tractor won't do it all.

Lets shift gears a bit here. What do y'all have on board for tools? Bear in mind I am somewhat limited on storage, but there is a small built in tool box. I am going to keep a hammer, slip joint pliers, crescent wrench, a small can of spray lube, and... Bear in mind I'll have back up tools nearby, just want to have those that I am most likely to need.
