Wish I could. Easier said than done. The resale value on a Mahindra is not good at all compared to oh, say a Kubota. I can not afford to take the loss. (15, 20% or more according to dealers.) I can not afford to take any loss right now. Period. The tractor will stay. I will get a lot of work done with it and anything that goes wrong that is covered under warranty will not cost me anything to fix. The dealership has a garage five miles from me as well. So I can borrow my neighbor’s trailer and bring it to them so I don’t have to pay any transport cost in the future.
I got a lot of work done with it the last few days. And just cleared snow with it this morning. Working great. Let’s hope it continues.

I agree. It's like lightening striking the same spot twice. I think this will be the end of lightening strikes. Dealer and Mahindra are now fully aware that this is a machine that they cannot allow to be disabled again.

Lightening striking once, even not a a direct hit, but resulting in a power surge was enough.
If your tractor does not have a battery disconnect, I suggest one.
