<div>The Mahindra rep doesn’t even say they intend to make the Roxor street legal.

That the North American market is important to Mahindra's corporate direction can be seen from the fact that Pawan Goenka, the managing director of parent company Mahindra and Mahindra Limited, gave some insight into the firm's U.S. plans to the Detroit News..

<div style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">When I was looking at a small compact tractor, I had a choice between a Kubota 39 horse or a Mahindra 40 horse. I drove both and liked them both, Kubota makes a nice machine. When we sat down to talk numbers, the
salesman, (same dealership franchise) said if I liked them both he would opt for the year older Mahindra with a Tier III engine vs the Kubota that had a Tier IV engine. Mind you this was at least 5 years ago, but he said that the Tier IV engines where coming
in with problems his techs did not have the knowledge or equipment to fix. If they are not run hard, they go into regen mode and you have to put them at full throttle and let it run that way for 30 minutes to clean the filter. Not sure if this is still the
case, I suspect not, but at the time it made my choice easy. My Tier III is all mechanical, which means that if I can't fix it any diesel mechanic would have no problem with it, no electronics or computer for the engine.
