Aren't the new Holland sub compacts built by Mahindra????? I don't know, just thought I heard that......I really don't know anything about any of them other than sitting on a few, and I have a Kubota diesel in my basement, so I guess that makes my opinion worthless....But if I was gonna buy a samurai sword, it wouldn't be one made in thialand.....Course I ain't buying any swords.....Just saying....

A sub compact tractor to me has been an 8N with woods belly mower, and Sherman trans, and another older one that's just been beat....Plus the Loader tractor is a jubee NAA ,(it's actually super nice)......Talk about problem free...I mean regular maintenance and far from modern amenities, but I gaurantee no sub compact today is pulling a 6' woodsbros bush hog through the crap I have or pulled out stumps, and rocks and just plain beat the hell out of em since I was a child...3rd generation to do so.. Just amazed at what they would do....Now I'm fixing them up....Irony...I remember being in some hairy situations with the 8n, brakes barely worked, knocking down trees mowing hillsides, live pto sucked in that equation, but boy is my old man's jubee nice....And to think, those are 65+/- yr old machines.......Anyways, I'm done rambling ...

Have fun with it though...If you have the money make the most of the experience, pull every lever, push every button, step in every pedal!!!
