Looking for a little help in my 1st tractor purchase. I have about 350 acres of which roughly 60 is fields. I mainly want the tractor to put food plots in for about 20 acres eventually, with the remainder I plan on cutting with a brush hog. As for the implements I expect to be using are disc, tiller, brush hog, forks, grapple, and post hole digger on the machine. So here is what Ive narrowed it down to so but I am open for any input or suggestions anyone has.
1) Mahindra 6065PST with loader and cab, 2 sets of rear remotes, loaded IND tires. I can add the 3rd function but at a $. Also, this machine has no regen or dpf. This is obviously a bigger tractor and much heavier weight but I am not sure about the Mahindra brand as Ive read some good reviews and bad ones as expected with anything in life. The dealer has been around for a while and is about 20min from me. He is at 39,000 cash price. (Thoughts on price) ( I would appreciate some feedback from anyone that has Mahindra on their experiences)
2) Massey Ferguson 1760m with loader. This is a Power shuttle with a standard cab, AC/Heat, Radio, 1 set of rear remotes, Loaded Tires R1 or R4 my choice and loaded. The dealer is also going to run 3rd function so I can run the grapple. The machine as no regen and no dpf which I think is a plus. As for dealer support he has a good reputation as a friend of mine has purchased a 1750m from them that he loves. As for the price he is at 39,500 cash price, or I could go with the Hydrostat with the deluxe cab for 41,900 cash price.
Honestly I am unsure which way to go because it is my 1st tractor and I want to make the right choice and not have any regrets. The Mahindra seems like a good deal but I worry about the resale value as I致e heard they tend not to hold their value, where it seems that Massey do. Any help would be greatly appreciated
