Our verdict
Verdict by the Aglist editorial desk
Mahindra JIVO 225 DI: Vineyard, orchard and cotton inter-cultivation on 2-5 acres where turning space is tight and ground stays dry.
Powertrac Steeltrac 18 2WD: Buyers considering a small 2WD tractor for an approved low-power implement rather than assuming all mini tractors are equivalent.
