Pick of Mahindra's small tractors, and the only one whose cab gets air conditioning as well as heat: 25.3 hp with no DPF, 1,760 lb of rear lift, and electronic hitch controls on cab models. $21,149 open station, $29,499 with the cab.

On the price: Neither this maker nor any dealer reachable from here publishes a bare-tractor price for this model — every listing found either says “call for price” or bundles a loader. That is how this brand sells, so expect to get a number by asking a dealer rather than by looking it up.
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.

At 24.7 hp the 1626 is a compact tractor with a Mahindra 3-cylinder diesel and class-leading loader lift for the money, backed by a long warranty. It targets value buyers who want more loader muscle and coverage than the premium brands offer at the price.

Mahindra
A 2.7-litre mCRD engine with no DPF and a 2,646 lb hitch let this punch well past its 37 hp rating. Mahindra has retired the 2600 series in favour of the 2100, leaving the series brochure as the only maker document that still describes it.

Mahindra
Compact frame with a sub-25 hp engine, which is the point: 22.9 hp and no DPF, but a three-range HST, the 1,477 lb L21 loader and 1,760 lb of rear lift - more than double what the 1100 series manages on the same horsepower. Open station only.
