You're at the point where there are other factors than the tractor. You won't regret purchasing either of those three. If the three are a toss up in your mind, I would go for quality of dealer, price and financing options. JMHO

Yes,the 5500 and 6000 are part of the Mahindra "00" series. These are ag-utility tractors,so I doubt if you'll ever see a hydro in them. Ag applications and hydros just do not work very well when you get to soil engaging jobs,or other jobs where a pull is needed. Also the inherent power loss in these size tractors becomes a factor. That is why you only see one pure hydro ag tractor built over here,and a few in Europe. Most are used for loader work (where they really shine) and cutting/baling.
