We just bought a Mahindra and dang are we happy with it thus far. First, it was the most affordable which meant we were able to afford new implements to go along with it (doesn’t sound like a problem for you )
We got more lift capacity in a smaller tractor due to their style of hydraulics when all other specs were identical to Case, Kubota, New Holland, and John Deere. I’d only had experience with Kubota and JD and am pleased as punch with ours. We’re on about 10 acres and $17k bought us a 22hp tractor with HST transmission with FEL, 4’ bush hog and a box blade with beet juice filled rear tires.
I agree with the above that having a good dealer/service location nearby is key - ours is literally 10 min away and they were super helpful, while the Case dealership was 45 min away and treated me like there was no way a ‘little lady’ was coming in here and dropping that kind of money on a tractor without her husband
