I purchased a Mahindra 4505 (45HP 2WD) new in ~2002. I just sold it about 6 months ago. It was a very good tractor. I believe some models now are Korean made with Mahindra badges and some still built in India. Anyone looking at a Mahindra model that was actually made by LS or (?), I would compare pricing, a local dealer for parts/repairs is important too, IMO.
