I just clicked on that biglittletractor link.
first thing I saw was a "TYM" tractor. Tong Yang Moolsan. That is a Korean tractor, not a chinese tractor. They are a "component" machine from a fairly large Korean company. They bought Kukje last year or a couple of years ago. Kukje makes Bransons, which appear to be very decent.
TYM makes the larger Mahindras, and supplies other makers with machinery to rebrand, as well as selling under their own name. TYM's will likely be cheaper and fitted to a higher level than what you would get in a rebranded model.
I would go look. If you are going to stretch it out and go new, I would look at Kioti, Branson, and LS as well (all Korean). LS supplies many of the New Holland small tractors In the same way Yanmar supplies John Deere.
I think the best of that bunch is Kioti. Kioti is the only one that manufactures all of the major components of the whole tractor themselves. While the others were making cutlery and wire rope, Kioti was making gears and shafts.
