Tony Stewart tractor commercial (2 Viewers)

[4onthefl4]

Yesterday I had the Daytona 500 race running in the background while I was doing some computer work and happen to hear Tony Stewart doing a Mahindra tractor commercial. I have never heard of this brand of tractor and was wondering if anyone knows anything about this brand. Secondly, I immediately thought with Tony being who he is, maybe he could influence this tractor brand to help in some form to sponsor his NHRA team.

Mahindra tractors say they are the world’s #1 selling farm tractor.
I see them all over the place where I live.

Lived in the south (farming country) all my life, traveled all over the U.S. and I have never seen or heard of this brand until yesterday. That's strange.

As strange as it seems I remember seeing a few Mahindra commercials before and they were during racing events as I recall. They have headquarters in Detroit - California and somewhere else in the U.S.. They are somewhat popular and have a dealership here in Kern County (Bakersfield area) but after oil - Ag is our lifeblood as is the whole San Joaquin Valley. Some people swear by them. The only thing about Tony on a tractor is his life long Hero is A.J. Foyt and he tipped over his Bulldozer once and almost killed himself. Hopfully Tony will skip that part and not try to emulate him.

Mahindra is becoming a popular brand here in the USA. The company is headquartered in India. I knew a guy who purchased a brand new Mahindra tractor and had absolutely terrible luck with it. Even when it was "under warranty" nothing was actually covered by the warranty. That's all I will say. I'm glad they are spending money in the USA on motorsport sponsorships.

Lots of Mahindras around here. They compete with Kubota and other smaller tractors. I did catch a segment TS did on the broadcast pitching his NHRA involvement. Can't hurt for Nascar fans to hear that

I'll stick with the Kubota brand.

I believe they have a plant in Georgia. Used to advertise on the Rush show.

Not the USA but plenty of Mahindra trucks all thruout Central America.

My farmers in North Dakota use John Deere exclusively. They are the gold standard.

Mahindra is in the utility tractor business and don't make anything over 120hp. So they are not really "farm" tractors. Yes, they are used on farms, but they're not going to pull a large tillage tool or planter. They satisfy the market for those that don't want the expense of buying a small Deere or other more name brand tractor. I've heard they are good tractors, but generally farmers are more interested in the dealer network that can support the machine when failure occurs.

The most important aspect of any tool a professional buys to use in his business (especially a complex tool) is after the sale support.

I'm pretty sure that all the so-called COMPACT tractors in the USA are all Japanese or other country.
the John Deere 2032R that we had was made in Japan. I've had Kubota for 30 yrs except for the one JD and that was a mistake.

Yep, the small John Deere's under 50-60hp are Yanmar tractors that are painted green with some look like JD sheet metal.

Mahindra is/was also the company that, was licensed to build Jeeps under their name brand, called the MUV or something. Let me look it up real quick.

Edit: I was incorrect. It's called the Roxor(Thar in India). It started with a license agreement with Willys in the 1940s and continued with Chrysler and FCA after that.

Pics of the Roxor and Thar below. The Thar is based on a newer model CJ, I'd say. Or probably just an updated front end?

Has everyone forgotten that New Holland makes tractors which is part of the Dodge family

Ford bought New Holland in 1985. It was then sold to Fiat in 2000 so I guess it is Dodge.
