Very nice toys to have. I have heard good things about those tractors and I see you got the loader too. You sure will find lots of things to do with it for sure and the roto tiller makes a great seed bed. Have fun and enjoy.

We are tickled with the Mahindra, its very fuel efficient (Mitsubishi Diesel Engine) and has plenty of power. Hopefully it will dry up enough to till up a space for some late buckwheat for our bees.

"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?
– Justice Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," Volume II, Chapter XIII: Mode of Passing Laws, Sections 900-901, pp. 364 (1833)

I'm a John Deer man myself. But we also have a 7740 Ford and a Long. The Long we got for almost nothing. Replaced some o-rings and installed a BushHog Loader with a bale spear and have been moving 1500lb bales with it now for twenty years with out any problems.
My neighbor has a two year old Mahindra Hydrostatic drive. He loves it more than his wife (well, maybe AS much as) and works it hard.

Used to be a creeper trans you could add into the 8Ns powertrain. Had one on the farm next to my Grandparents place. It was just the right speed, faster than a snail but slower than a racing turtle. Was a sweet garden tractor. You could snag a stalk of corn, stop, and back off of it before you pulled it out of the ground.

be sure you have a slip clutch between the end of the PTO and the tiller on that Mahindra.
