series starting price
Cheapest way into the Mahindra lineup: $14,189 buys 20.1 hp, two-range hydrostatic drive and the 794 lb L11 loader, with no diesel particulate filter and no regeneration cycle anywhere in the powertrain. HST is the only transmission offered, and a heated cab is optional.
0.98 PTO hp per $1,000 of list price
As published by the maker
On the price: The maker publishes one starting price for this series rather than a figure per model, and this is the cheapest model in it.
Lift figures are the maker's and are quoted at whichever point the maker chose; the about page explains why two loaders with the same number do not lift the same pallet.

From owner discussion and long-term write-ups
Gathered from owner reports
There is very little owner material on the 1120 and what exists is bad. Three separate owners speak and none of them is happy: one simply says he cheaped out and regrets it against a Kubota, one lists a stuck hood latch and a failed steering-wheel adjuster inside fifteen hours, and a third documents a 2025 machine that lost a front tire bead in its first week, had the PTO switch pop out of its holder, dropped its right handrail off in his hand while he was climbing on, lost the neutral safety switch and finally stopped moving altogether - then sat while dealers quoted four to eight week waits, needing a trailer and winch he had to buy himself before a shop two hours away found the hydrostatic transmission had failed. Four accounts are not enough to call that a pattern of the model, but they are enough to say that none of what exists describes a good ownership experience.
Summarised from public owner discussion, not from testing. Nothing here was measured by this site, and a report that recurs is not the same as a defect rate.
Cross-shopped against
Same brand or same size, nearest in price
Mahindra
Mitsubishi-powered and the smallest machine Mahindra sold in the US, pitched under the BX and 1-Series on price rather than on capability. The 1100 series replaced it and Mahindra has taken the model page down - only the eMax series brochure is still hosted.
Spec sheet & owner notes
Mahindra
Middle step of the 1100 series, and the one that buys real PTO power without crossing 25 hp: 22.9 gross hp and 16.8 at the shaft for $2,141 more than the 1120, on the same frame, same L11 loader and same 6.6-gallon tank. Heated cab optional.

Mahindra
Clears 25 hp without gaining a diesel particulate filter, which is the whole argument for the 1100 series: 25.3 gross hp, 19.2 at the PTO, and Mahindra still states no DPF and no regen. Top of the sub-compact range, HST only, heated cab optional at $25,324.
