Well Mahindra is selling the heck out of tractors. They are a economy car when comparing them to a Kubota as a Cadillac. With Mahindra it really makes a HUGE difference in what dealer you buy them at. There is very limited company support. So if you buy from a good dealer then you will think they are great/cheap. If you buy it from a dealer that has little to zero service then your in for trouble.
Lance on here bought one. I think he moved or bought it fairly far away from where he lives now. He was trying to get a more local dealership to handle warranty issues he had with it. That did not go well.
Yes Mahindra advertises five year warranties and such but they are terrible at what they reimburse their dealers for under warranty. So getting warranty from a different dealership than the one you bought from is tough.
If your the kind of guy that is not going to use a tractor a lot of hours each year and not really heavy duty then a Mahindra Might work.
As for your friend. I think he will find out that his budget will not stand much of a new tractor. I would not like having to use a Ford 851 for much either. Things like Power steering and diesel engines are nice. He would be better off buying a newer model of Ford or MF but not real new. A Ford 3600 or 5600 are fine tractors. MF 240 is about that size and they made them for almost 20 years. Any of these would have the features he would get with a "new" Mahindra but would be cheaper and more durable.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
