I have had my 4110 for about 8 years now with a Bradco hoe attachment. Have not had any serious issues and I have used it pretty hard. Bought it primarily to dig my 600 ft driveway and spread the 40 or so tri-axles of gravel. If you are thinking about adding a hoe, consider the pto pump. The flow rates on the tractor pumps are usually to small. Now it mostly gets used for snow plowing, wood and picking up recently deceased whitetails.

Be sure there's a dealer inside of the farthest distance you're willing to haul it if it needs service. Mahindra's the biggest tractor maker in the world but they don't have many dealers in the US yet.

A few guys at work have them, some run a swather and rake over quite a few acres with theirs. I asked last year and they said they had zero issues with them.

I have a brand-new 5010 with 25 hrs on it. It was actually built in South Korea, not in India. Whether that has anything to do with it who knows, but it has already been picked back up by the dealer and brought back to the shop for a new electrical system. The explanation was that starter solenoid developed a soul of its own and somehow ruined the electrical system. The dealer swore he'd only seen it two other times in 30 yrs dealing with tractors. Now the hydraulic system kind of screeches under load, gonna have to get that checked out. The tractor replaces a Kubota I had for 11 years without ever a single issue. I'm kind of afraid this tractor will be one I'll never have full confidence in and will always be wondering is it gonna work when I need it. It's an awesome 4WD with a front-end loader and it has awesome capability but I hope the kinks are worked out.

I guess it depends on where you live. I entered my zip code on the dealer deal and had 3 within 30 miles which is pretty good considering there's only 1 other town of where I live within 30 miles. Punched in the old zip code of where I lived in TX and they had 3, 2 in town and one another 45 miles away.
Otto is my co-pilot.

Right up front I'll say that I don't have a Mahindra tractor. But I would ask WHY would any American buy a tractor made in INDIA in this day and age? I know that American made does cost more but damn, people, what have the [bleep] Indians in Mumbai, India, ever done for this country but take jobs? Sorry, but I'd buy a used American tractor before I'd buy an Asian built one even though I know and have heard that they are reliable! Your bucks, your choice but it is not helping American workers either! That's just the way I feel; it's your decision!

That is real unfortunate but generally starter solenoids can go bad at any time with the market we have today, I hope everything goes well with your tractor. My uncle has a Kubota and the parts are way to expensive compared to other brands.

I haven't done all that much research yet but I believe they are put together here by American workers, Kinda like Toyota.

With traffic considered Yakima probably is the better choice plus a nice drive over Chinook pass wouldn't be bad.

Deere was also offering 0% financing. I'm not pushing Deere but it may be an option if you are looking for good eqt with good financing.

Hard to beat green for re-sale and parts when you need them.
Tractor brands come and go, dealers come and go. The John Deere record speaks for itself. Their dealers are the most financially stable in the business and green has been green since the beginning. No re-branding, no buy out by other companies, just consistent excellence over the years.
That said, at the retail level, it all boils down to the dealer, IMHO.

few years ago Mahindra said they were going to sell a small diesel truck in the US market and I remember they passed EPA but were having problems with NHTSA, and have seen or heard anything since
