I’ve been in this industry for years, and the Mahindra eMax 20S HST surprised me in a few good ways. It’s compact, fuel efficient, and handles loader and light backhoe work without much complaint. For smaller properties or weekend use, it’s a solid performer. That said, parts availability can be frustrating depending on your dealer, and some of the plastics and linkages feel a bit light-duty. It’s not perfect, but for the price, it punches above its weight if you know how to maintain your tractors.
