From what I've heard they are cheaply built and hard to service.

Been thinking about getting one for out here in the bush village, but saw a video about them being hard to crank in the winter. Most folks in a village don't have a heated garage.

Hey Les, My son bought one a few years ago. He's 6'3" and weighs about 215 and has never complained about being cramped. He loves it, but likes it especially now. He took it a couple months ago to get the regen deleted off of it. Said it runs like a scaled ape now. Power and pep like crazy. Put a light bar on it for more lights, a radio, and some gun racks and that is it.
Last week on spring break we were all fishing on the river and it rained so hard on the muddy silty creek bank only that roxor could get down and up. My old '97 tacoma couldn't handle it. Rather than trying to trailer the boats, they just tied all three john boats in a line together and that little roxor toted them right out like nothing.
I've never driven it, but I know the heck and tests my boy puts equipment through. If he says its tough and likes it, then I imagine it is. He grew up in his teen years driving a willis FWIW.

We have a '94 Jeep soft top in the garage, looks about the same and I'm guessing, resale is much better. Although, the rig you're looking again probably has a faster top end. Lol

Les, He put aggressive narrow tires on it like the old Willis' had and that thing will climb a telephone pole and spin like crazy when needed.
He also added a winch to it; which made it pretty much unstoppable within reason.

Hmm I always wrote them off since a friend at work father in law bought one of their new tractors and it broke all the time, sur it was warranty repairs but the down time and transport back and forth was causing them to be very agervated. When the spendal broke off and the front tire came off . That was it after the dealership fixed it that sold the thing off. They are a small farm family with with several tracks of land but not over 500 acres total. Basically thing broke that would not be breaking on a new tractor.

Legal on the immediate right hand shoulder in MN accept interstate and State highways I believe. I know a trapper with one and his only complaint is the diesel and cold weather starts.

at 6'4" I'm going to have to pass I’m also 6’4” about 3 years ago when I was still helping with Wildland Fire they brought out a new one for us to demo. They asked me to go try it out and see what I thought. A couple things stuck with me, the gas pedal was plastic which I thought was interesting. I did put it in low gear and proceeded to climb up a hill that most would struggle to walk up. It only took about 10 minutes and dead fall tree to remove the front bumper. I took it back to the station and said this one is broken. Haven’t been around one since.

I wonder if a guy put lights on them if we could scooter plate them here like the side by sides, Kei trucks and 4 wheelers now on the streets? With options added you could be around 20 grand for one I’d get a used jeep before that.

So it doesn't have a title to get plates and you aren't allowed to have it on the road but you buy it from a tractor place where tractors don't have plates and are allowed on the road?
We plate golf carts now I wonder if we really plate these things too? Don't see why not there are sidexsides that are street legal here in Mi. my neighbor drives his on M-68 all the time he paid 33k for that So if your willing to pay for plates, insurance and tax

Are air bags required on new vehicles for highway use? They won’t be plated as a car/truck so those other types of plates won’t require auto safety equipment standards.

Mahindra itself, I can't say a bad word yet, I bought a compact tractor three years ago & I'm not easy on things. Only thing I bent was the loader bucket, tried those bolt down pallet forks & I guess it has more power than the bucket could handle.

The Roxor vehicle is made in India from my understanding from old World War II stampings of the jeep CJ3 design .

Must not be street legal here as is a tractor dealer close by but see no trucks in his line up along the highway. I have stopped there as he has tractor parts an is a helpful dealer when I have JD tractor problems.

How about a block heater. That's a good idea....being it's diesel We have a '94 Jeep soft top in the garage, looks about the same and I'm guessing, resale is much better. Although, the rig you're looking again probably has a faster top end. Lol 55 mhp it says in the specs Are they street legal? Air bags? What do they cost? 25K for the all weather model Are they street legal? Air bags? What do they cost? They can be made street legal

Regen is the less complicated version. Def is the version you don't want. Regen is when you have a big catalytic converter on a diesel engine. It pours diesel fuel when the filter starts to plug up and burns it clean. I'm not a diesel engine mechanic, just a fan of diesel engines. I would love to try one of these Mahindra roxors but I need a dealer 10 miles away.

I'm gonna see if I can do a series of cash gigs and come up with one....off the books, lol. I like the diesel motor idea, and this rig is somewhere between a side by side and my S-10 in weight.....imagine this rig with a set of camoplast tracks on it.

It would be awesome if that motor could be used to replace some other brands. I have an older Toyota that came with a 3.0. They have a trait of blowing head gaskets regular.
