- At ex-showroom prices the Eicher 380 starts about ₹1,40,000 lower than the Mahindra OJA 3140, roughly ₹2,555 a month less on a 5-year loan for 90% at 8%.
- Warranty: 2000 Hour or 2 Year on the Eicher 380 vs 6 years on the Mahindra OJA 3140.

Which one should you buy?
Match the tractor to your heaviest regular job. If you run a reversible plough, a loaded trolley or a potato planter, lifting capacity matters most. If most of your work is rotavator, thresher or pump, compare PTO HP. Then get on-road quotes for both from dealers near you, and check how far the nearest authorised service centre is - for a 10-year machine, service distance matters as much as a few HP.
