I have a three year old 4500 with less than 200 hours and it threw a rod through the block the month the warranty expired. The dealer wants over $5000. + labor to replace it, no short block available.
This tractor has been a headache since I got it! Power steering fluid leaks, brush broke off the starter solenoid, hard to work on filters etc. etc etc.
All I used this tractor was light mowing, food plot, and brush clearing since I put the farm in a CRP program.
I'm back to a 30 y/o Massey 230 that still works great, even if it doesn't have a bucket.
On a scale of 1-10 I would give the Mahindra a 2!
