Buying Advice sub compacts

[gravelman]

Hi folks..gravelman here... im trying to choose between a Mahindra emx 20 hst and a Kubota bx 1880 just using the bucket...maybe a lawn mower later. any and all advice greatly appreciated. It does look like the Mahindra may be the better machine but need to hear from you folks out there please.

Both good tractors. I'd buy the one that fits me the best and that I trust the dealer for any follow-up issues that may come up.

I'm assuming that the lawn mower function will be using a belly mounted mower? If so, you probably want to get the mower deck up front as you will have more negotiating leverage during the intial purchase.

ok good advice... the kubota dealer is very close...

Getting the belly mower with the machine will cost a lot less than adding one later. Also, explore more brands. I found Mahindra was far from the best option.

IM no Pro, but Mahindra is a solid machine. But what I found in terms of pricing they were an off brand much like TYM, LS, RK etc but charging Green and Orange paint prices, but with that said I think Green and orange is over hyped to

LS is a tractor brand , they also make tractors for several other companys. They are very nice well equipped tractors at a good price . I would give them a look.
