Strengths Strong Pulling tractor. Needs rear wheel weights and water add to the tires. I traded in a E350DI Mahindra that was a good tractor but did not have power steering. Seem to be a good tractor.
Weaknesses None yet except having the dealer do what was requested when I ordered the tractor. (adding water in the rear tires)
Overall Good deal for the money.

Strengths Strong tractor and overall reliable
Weaknesses When I purchased it the power steering line was not positioned near the tractors body, when
moving brush this line was easily bent. Line
was rerouted after many many many calls to Mhandria in Texas. If you buy one with a loader it is about a two hour job to change the fuel filters, due to poor access to the main bolt securing the filter element container. Two fuel lines must be removed along with the entire fuel filter canister, then the fuel lines must be bleed. GOOD luck with this one! If you really want to have some fun try draining the fuel tank using the drain valve located on the right bottom side of the fuel tank. The accessibility to this valve is just as complicated as changin
Overall I like the tractor but performing minor maintenance on the equipment can be a real challenge.
