Nope, not a Mahindra, it's  TYM,  model 474HC, 48hp, 6000 lbs.   looked at Mahindra's, too much cast and not enuf forged steel imho, TYM has good promotion now, 3.99% is less than inflation, it's like free money, and good discounts from msrp too.

If only my body would let me, just graduated from physical therapy, goal was throwing my leg over my K-Pipe, 31" seat height, dirt bike, no way

I'm always changing my mind on landscaping projects, and it will be helpful in my annual firewood processing, as well as snow removal.  The AC works awesome, nice Kenwood stereo, but unfortunately, the cab is noisy, not the cab itself, other than no sound deadening features, mostly diesel clatter, no turbo whine as this is not a turbo model

My nephew bought a Mahindra, I think it was also 48 HP. It broke a lot.  Sold it for a healthy loss.  The dealer he got it from switched brands, went to Montanas I think.

TYMs are gaining in popularity, getting close to Kioti sales in the US

The Kukje diesel in getting good reviews, no fancy ECU controlling, simple mechanical FI
