"I live in the big hill territory. My 4530 easily handles all tasks except my belt 4x5 hay baler. The tractor is built solid and is a bargain for the price. I would recommend this tractor to anyone who looks to take care of a small farm. The only problem I've had is with the rear hydraulic valve which is being replaced under the two-year portion of my seven-year warranty."

"This is a good tractor overall and until recently I really would have highly recommended it. It's very heavy duty and the loader will work extremely hard. I like the fact that everything is pretty low-tech, meaning that you can work on a lot of things yourself because most everything is mechanical linkage. The bad part is when you do need it worked on they apparently bring parts from China on a row boat! Mine has always shifted hard between gears, the shuttle shift forward to reverse is fine and the high to low range is fine. It got stuck in 2nd gear and had to go to the shop. It's been in the shop nearly 3 weeks waiting on the gearbox cover gasket. It is supposed to be out tomorrow, but if you only have one tractor like I do this is a BIG negative!! "

"So far, this tractor has done everything that I have wanted it to do, from moving gravel and dirt to piling brush and some light brush clearing. The lift capacity on the loader and the 3-point seem really strong. I am very pleased with everything about it."

"I haven't owned the tractor long enough to write much of a review. The fit and finish lacks a little but I'm picky. The brakes make some noise and grab some. Otherwise, everything else is good so far. I looked at Kubota, John Deere, and New Holland. Mahindra is considerably cheaper with better financing and warranty."

"I purchased my Mahindra 4530 about a year ago and have used it for everything from clean up after logging to pulling a 6'6" disc and it has not let me down. The tractor is built amazingly heavy and the loader can lift more that any other tractor its size. The FEL can be a bit slow but it is not horrible. The linkage for forward and reverse came apart but it was just a role pin that had to be put back in place. This is in a very difficult location to access so it took some time. The FEL controls leak and I have had a few other hydrolic leaks at fittings that tightening fixed. The breaks can be a bit noisy as well is the tractor its self is a bit loud when compared to my Kubota. But when compared to other tractors the price is amazing and the build quality is also great. One of my biggest selling points was the simplicity of the tractor, there are very few things to go wrong that I can not fix at home. So far I am a very happy Mahindra owner and would recommend it to any of my friends. "

"I had a clear idea of what I wanted in a tractor when I purchased this machine. Nothing automatic, nothing digital, visibly serviceable, and heavy-duty. The Mahindra 4530 met or exceeded all of my expectations. In addition to some very hard work---logging in difficult terrain, steep, forested hills, and muddy creeks at fifteen-below cold with 4 1/2 feet of snow---it never failed to perform. I've had no service or repair issues in the first 200 hours."

"I've got a hill farm in middle TN only 10 or so acres are flat so this tractor has seen it all. From tilling with a 5 ft heavy duty 3 point tiller or pulling a 9 ft finishing mower to climbing wet slick rock up 40 degree hills it will and can do it all! No issues so far small drips here and there but I guess that's okay considering the value of this tank. It fully meets my needs period!"

"Very heavy all around farm tractor. I use it for hay farming, plowing fields, snow plowing, logging and general farm use. Excellent all around tractor. I also own a Kubota B2910. "

"This tractor has been all I could ask for. It has been worked very hard, clearing trees and doing earthwork with the FEL. Also used for hay mowing and raking. Only issue so far is the engine hour gage quit working in cold weather."

"Got this new tractor for $20,225.00 with the Front End Loader. All other tractors where $26,000.00 starting with less warranty (5 year). No complaints here. Great power and weight. Front end loader lift everything. I don't have any implements yet. But saving $6,000.00 in the purchase price, I will be able to afford them."
