“This isn’t about selling a product–it’s about building a relationship,” Popli said. “Mahindra tractors are a good fit for folks with those kinds of challenges,” she added. They’re a great place for women to start.” Additionally, Spackman has a “day job” with AgrAbility PA, a program providing support to farmers with disabilities or long-term health conditions. “Even with my size and ability, Mahindras are easy to operate. “A lot more women are interested in operating their own equipment,” she said. She echoed Popli’s ideas about female farmers. Spackman loved the new tractors so much, she posted about them on social media earlier this year, made connections with the folks at Mahindra, and has since starred in some of their promotional YouTube videos. I’m small, but they’re really adjustable and I’m able to reach the pedals, so I feel very comfortable operating them.”
I love the cabs to keep out the weather and bugs. Our local dealer had Mahindras, so my family bought two of them a couple years ago. “We were never like that–we always just used what worked. “Most farmers bleed red or bleed green,” she said, referring to the top two U.S. That attention to their end user isn’t lost on American farmers like Abbie Spackman, who runs her own organic vegetable business, The Heirloom Farmer, from a section of her family’s century farm–one that’s been owned by the same family for at least a hundred years–near Port Matilda, Pennsylvania.
But then we can also take our learning back to India to encourage women there.” farmers are women, adding to those challenges. Plus, Indian farmers and American farmers have size differences, which affects our design for everything from gears and levers to entry and exit to seat springs. “And our tractors also have to work in a Houston summer. “India doesn’t get down to negative 35˚ F at night,” Popli explained. The American side subsidiary had other considerations to address as well. The rest is divided among a number of other business areas, including IT, aerospace parts, boats, construction equipment and clean energy. Today its automotive business brings in just over 55% of its revenue, while farm equipment (they sell about 200,000 tractors a year worldwide) brings in just shy of 41%. In 1961 it established the JV with International Harvester, and it was that move that would launch the company into making tractors for itself in 1977. It was in 1947 that company, having by then changed its name to Mahindra & Mahindra, began assembling the aforementioned Jeeps from parts produced by Willys Overland. It was founded in 1945 as steel trading firm Mahindra & Mohammed, later branching out into steelmaking, automotive assembly, and farm equipment. It has over 58,000 employees and a market capitalization of $13.7 billion, and had $11 billion in sales in fiscal 2021. The first is the parent company, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Would love to see a short list, like what you've given above and maybe a few more choices to look at and maybe their pro's and cons.It’s really the story of two companies. I don't know much about old tractors so don't know what to look for as far as reliability. I have not checked out the Alis Chalmers d-17 and IH/Case machines. I've emailed the owner but have not heard back yet. There is a 175 on craigslist right now for $4500.
#HOBBY FARM TRACTOR SERIES#
I've been looking at Massey's 100 and 200 series but would like to stay away from the multi-power. I would turn to this tractor for things like plowing (it would be nice to pull a three bottom plow with the 2320 I can only pull a 1 bottom), disking, bush hog (I can only pull a 4' or maybe the woods 54" rotary cutter with the 2320), plastic mulch laying, planting (if I can borrow a planter), thought about getting a sickle mower or something similar for mowing around the edges of the pond and a water ditch line on my property, etc.
