I thought maybe the 2015 HST in with the same configuation would be a little cheaper, but it is $15,300 too. I was comparing the 2415 and 2015 to the new Kubota B2320 at $14,800. The Mahindra capacities spec out a bit better, but the Kubota has a few extra features like the 3 range HST and drive over deck. The Mahindra dealer says he has only sold about 3 belly mowers in 7 years and that the belly mower was the reason for the added expense. The Mahindra 60" deck was priced at $2700 and the Kubota was $2150. I thought the Mahindras would be priced a little better, but I am still going to drive them all none the less.
