Comparison Mahindra or Kioti?

[Hummer H1]

I want a heavy tractor(for good traction), powerful, 50hp or so, 4wd with FEL. I will be moving snow with FEL and rear blade, maintaining a gravel road (about half mile), FEL work, using a rotary cutter, etc...

I want to try either a Mahindra or a Kioti. I have never owned either brand but I have heard good things about both. I would like a comfortable operators station (no cab), I am 6'5". I do my own regular maintenance. I have dealers for both brands close enough.

Which one should I buy and what model? Thanks

They are both great tractors. I would take a good hard look at both. I would probably get the one that fit me the best. Sit in the seat of each and get a feel for all of the controls. How they are placed and if that fits you. Double check the specs of each one, I would guess that they are pretty close. Mahindra just came out with a 5035, it looks to be a very nice machine, but then I am a little partial, I have 2 Mahindras. Double check what options are available, they are usually less money if purchased at the same time as the tractor. So if you think that there is even a chance that you might need or want any of those options, best to get them with the tractor purchase. A lot of times, you can also get great deals on implements at this time also.

Do a lot of research, ask a lot of questions.

Good luck

Maybe you could get the dealers to let you bring them to your house and run 'em for a few hrs to see what you think.
These are both well respected names and you prolly wouldn't go wrong either way.

If you're anywhere near Scranton, PA
Wallace Tractor and Equipment NEPA Compact Tractors Lake Ariel Poconos Honesdale PA is both a Kioti and Mahindra dealer.
Chances are you could do a side by side comparison.

When I looked in the 60-70 range and ended up buying the 7520, I dont remember why I eliminated Kioti. I think it was either less hydraulic delivery or smaller front tires or no 2 speed pto. The 7520 had everthing and nobody else in the price range did.
Happy shopping!
