Throughout the world, on six continents Mahindra tractors are in daily use with hundreds of differnt type of users, from Smallholdes through to major Commercial and Internationally recognised businesses. In the UK, the range of users are equally widespread, from The NHS, Railway companies, Local Authorities, Contractors, Smallholders, Equestrian users from single horse owners right through to famous Race Horse stables and Studs. Amongst our customers are also Hire Shops, Builders, Landscapers, Commercial Foresetry businesses, HM Prisons, Allotment Societies to Caravan & Camping Sites, Royal Navy, the Army, and Country House owners. In France our clientele seem to be mainly ex pats who have followed the dream and have an idyllic life in the French countryside but with the responsibility of maintaining their fields and woodlands, or renovating an old country property. Whichever category you think you are, then the Mahindra tractor with some attachments is a step in the right direction.
The undeniable fact, and fault with most of the compact tractors currently imported into the UK is that they are actually produced for small farmers inside China or for export to third world countries. The overriding criteria is that they have to be cheap, and so the issues of build quality and long term reliability, not to mention any expectation of consistent performance aren’t very high. These are the very machines that most importers bring into the UK with the hope of convincing consumers and selling on for a profit margin.
The position with Mahindra Compact Tractors is entirely different. It was conceived, designed, and built as an export machine for the US, Canadian, Australian, NZ, and South African markets. Their specification and build quality make them far too costly for sale to farmers and susbsistence farming users of third world economies. The Mahindra is manufactured specifically for export to more demanding and discerning consumers.
The EU Certificate of Conformity should not be considered as a certification of quality. It isn’t. It’s only a Safety Performance criteria certification.
Quality is a specifically different award. Mahindra have a wealth of certification from international authorities for the quality of their tractors, all borne out by the internationally recognized Quality Certification logos of which they have legion. However, the one that gives the company most pleasure is that it is the only tractor manufacturer in the world that holds the very prestigious Japan Quality Medal for their engineering excellence, and also the Deming Prize, which is awarded by the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers for major advances in technical quality and improvement. The awards ceremony was broadcast on national television in Japan.
A buyer of any Mahindra product can be absolutely assured that they are buying a machine that comes from a company that is spread across six continents, twenty five countries, and produced in state of the art manufacturing plants where critical quality control procedures are enforced. Mahindra is a $6.3 billion conglomerate with businesses as diverse as automobiles, engines, steel manufacturing – it began with the Willys Jeep that the US Army relied upon during the last world war, it now includes huge earth moving equipment in quarries, and the whole company has been motivated to excel ever since.
