Well we went and picked the brothers new Mahindra todayView attachment 303104

Very nice looking tractor.:thumbsup:

I will have nothing to do with the 60 series due to the Tier IV nonsense. Do you really want to deal with the complexity and cost of the very expensive particulate filters?

I've recently bought two new tractors prior to this latest nonsense from the federales just in order to avoid it.

Something to think about.

The Mahindra 8560 has been in production for a while, so depending on when it was built, it may not have the Tier IV engine. i In brand new tractors built after a certain date, we won't have a choice I don't suppose. I bought a Kubota L5740 to avoid having to buy the new L60 Series with the brakes on the left, Tier IV etc. and in the Kubota prefer the M8540 over the new M8560, thankfully we bought ours a couple of years ago and will outlive me.

I read somewhere that any Kubota built after 01 January 2012 was Tier IV. Not sure if that applies to all brands but would assume so. Maybe someone can check my accuracy.

Nice....how does he like it? I still haven't purchased yet but will be on my new property in 11 days. I am still checking out the 5083/93e. I talked with the mahindra dealer about the 8560. They actually have me interested in the mahindra 6010HST or the 6110 shuttle cab. They say they can pull a 15' batwing with no proplem and haul round bales no problem. My Case dealer also has a new discontinued farmall 95 he wants to sale me.......decisions decisions.

I would lean towards the farmall 95 if it were up to me. Those are very good tractors! Not that the others aren't I just know more about the 95 then I do the rest.

I talked to him today and he has only done alittle loader work,cause the pastures are pretty wet. He is still very happy with his purchase...
We also went and looked at the JD5083 so he could see all the colors,got some number on it and finaced payments would have been 450mnth more,over the Mahindra..
It came down to the Kubota 8560,NewHolland powerstar 4.75 and the Mahindra,he drove,played around on each and well you see the outcome. Some of the reason not the Kubota was the emission stuff and I have kubota,the NH he said cab was cramped and it seemed to be a smaller tractor all together.

I like a person who thinks in terms of cattle, like MFWD will cost a few bred cows. When our grinder-mixer failed ad we found out it was a trashed gearbox, I went on the dealer's web site, identified the parts needed, and emailed him. I quickly got a return email with parts priced - 2 fed beef steers to pay for the trashed gearbox.

I tend to do that a lot before I buy something,humm! How many cows could I pick up instead of buying what I was interested in at the time...

Its not that simple.

Its not that simple.

I thought it was an EPA mandated thing, but maybe not. So are you saying there are tractors in the 65HP and up size built now that aren't Tier IV???

 

[case245]

i think there all tier 4 emissions as to wat my dealer told me

There's a lot in play here 4 tier 4 compliance. also depend on earned emissions credits which manufactures earn in various ways generally by adopting new emissions requirements early

it is EPA, but its by and large not a cut over all at one time. They have engine credits and some of the models will lag behind. Example.. M9960 / 8560 are now all that's available, but if you want a narrow version the M8540 narrow is still in production. There are lots of examples of this.
