- Warranty: 2 years or 2000 hours on the Eicher 551 4WD vs 6 years (2 years standard + 4 years on engine and transmission wear items) on the Mahindra 585 Yuvo Tech+.

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.
