50-65HP advice

[patchfarm]

I've owned a 2008 Mahindra 4110 for the last 11 years and it's been decent but over the years my needs have changed and recently it has started to have issues that have required sinking more money into it than I'd like. So I'm looking to upgrade a bit, possibly buying new but also open to looking at very lightly used tractors. Before I start setting foot at any dealerships, I thought I'd post here to get some advice. Here is a bit of info about my use and other important factors

Located in Maine, and most dealers are at least 40 minutes away. Closest dealer is a JD which I don't really have interest in. I have the following dealers under an hour from me; Mahindra, Kioti, Kubota, LS. And a bit further afield Massey and TYM. I'm not interested in any of the other brands (Branson, Bad Boy, etc.)

I own ~60 acres and we run a small farm on the property, the tractor will mostly be used for following in order of usage amount: Loader work moving livestock feed (sometimes 1 ton pallets or slings of grain, occasional round bales, etc.), snow blowing in winter (rear mount blower) mowing sloping pastures with a bush hog and/or flail mower), and occasional other uses of moving items around the property. Potential future uses are skidding logs and using a grapple for logs and brush removal in my ~30 acres of woods.

My ideal tractor would be a bit more powerful than the 4110, have the ability to safely and easily lift a full ton, be able to fit my existing rear implements that are all based on the 4110's 72" width (the snowblower and the mowers) and ideally have a cab (for comfort in winter snow removal). Otherwise I don't have other preferences. I'm partial to Mahindra due to it being the only brand I know, and Kubota and Kioti due to brand recognition and my experience using those machines on farms I worked on previously. But I'm not locked into anything in particular. Online I've so far narrowed down my search to possibly the Mahindra 2660 cab, Kioti NX or RX series, and the Kubota M6060.

Any thoughts/guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You are at a full ton of FEL lifting capacity at 65 HP. I buy fertilizer by the skid with a ton on it and the tractor (my 65) wants PTO RPM to lift it off the trailer and get it stacked.

I have an M7060 and I've been happy with it. M6060 same tractor with less HP.

I run a 78" blower fine, a 72" might barely be wide enough unless you have smaller rear tires

 

[outdoorsman123]

I ran an 84" snowblower with ease behind my 7060. Was the perfect width of the tractor with the tire spread I had it set for. If you keep the tires in 72" might be close.

Lifting 2000 pounds is questionable. It depends on how deep the load is you're trying to lift. It will loft 2000 close to the pins but hanging out front will become a challenge. I say that as I had a 7060 up until a couple of months ago, had it for 5 years. It does great with large round bales, until you get extra heavy ones like I did this year and it wouldn't curl and wouldnt only lift them a bit. I still haven't weighed them but my guess is they are 2200 pounds.

I have a TYM T4058PC which has been great! Premium features at a smaller price point. It might be a little small for your needs at 58hp but TYM does make a bigger version T5068 (68hp) cabbed and T5075 (74hp) cabbed that have a Deutz engine.

Most them come standard with a self-leveling loader, 3rd function, 2-3 rear remotes, button/lever for lowering and raising the 3-pt hitch without being in the cab, and have higher capacities than other tractors in their equivalent range. At least that was my experience in the 40-60hp range I was looking in. Might be different in next hp tiers.

Kubota was the other contender but they were significantly more expensive. Like $15,000 more with less features and hp. Though they are great tractors and have a better re-sale value.

My wife also test drove the tractors and she really liked the TYM over other brands too if that helps! The adjustable features in the cab made it work for both of us.

It's not always easy to choose as there are so many good brands. For us it came down to immediate value of the upfront investment, the dealer was super great to work with and made us feel comfortable and that we would be supported, and the test drive.

Hope this helps and feel free to message me with any questions.

Look at the Kubota MX6000 HST, (60 hp) I traded my Kubota M6060 in and have been very happy with the results. It has all the power and lift you require. Now my wife and grandson can drive.......

I see that the OP has a need for a FEL that will carry a full ton out on a skid - not just lift it, but carry it across a pasture, and also he has a preference for a cab. But he doesn't list a preference for transmission type. I'm guessing that means his 4110 is manual shift.

That's probably good. Adding a HST tranny would really limit the choices.
Are there any HST cabbed tractors with a big ag loader?

What is the price? Every website I found with an internet search says "call for price".

I have a TYM T4058PC which has been great! Premium features at a smaller price point. It might be a little small for your needs at 58hp but TYM does make a bigger version T5068 (68hp) cabbed and T5075 (74hp) cabbed that have a Deutz engine.
