Brand new Jinma vs. slightly used Mahindra

[stumpfield]

Hi All,

I'm looking to buy a new Jinma 354LE for road maintenance and messing around. While shopping for the best deal on the Jinma, a friend's dad offer to sell me his slightly used Mahindra 4110. Size wise, both tractor is about the same. Cost is exactly the same (about $12,000). The Mahindra has 41 HP while the Jinma has 35 HP. So, here's my dilemma.... Brand new 2008 Jinma 354LE or slightly used 2006 Mahindra 4110 with about 200 hours but still look new? Both have FEL. This Mahindra is korean made. The loader is american made. The Jinma is all Chinese. Is there a better choice than those 2 tractors mentioned above for about the same money? What do you think? I appreciate your comments.

I know, being I am a Mahindra dealer, it would seem that I am bias, but look at the refinement of those 2 tractors. I think that it is a hands down choice for the Mahindra 4110, and I believe you will recieve many more responces in favor of the Mahindra.

I know I am biased too but I think I would go for the Mahindra unless it looks really abused.

Thanks for the quick response. I forgot to mention that the Jinma has 1 year parts only warranty. The Mahindra has 11 months left on the 3-year warranty. I believe the Mahindra warranty is both parts and labor. I search around but can't find any used Mahindra 4110 for sale. So, I have no idea what's the value of the Mahindra 4110 with 200 hours. Any idea what's the market price?

I own a Jinma and would would recommend them to anyone shopping for a tractor but that being said the Jinma FEL leaves a lot to be desired. I would only get a Jinma with a Koyker or Spirit FEL, both American Made. In you case though I would get the Mahindra if your friends dad takes care of things. How does his other equipment look, cars, house, ect. The Mahindra has more HP, more name recognition for resale, ect. Take a look at what your friends dads tractor would cost today and I am guessing its a pretty good deal. If it checks out get the Mahindra.

Thanks! If those asking prices are close to what it's worth, then I'm getting a pretty good deal if I choose to go with the Mahindra. My friend's dad usually take pretty good care of his equipment. All scheduled maintenance were done by dealer. The tractor was kept in his garage so it still look like brand new. The loader bucket looks beat up. He said that was a result of picking all the rock on his land. The rest of the tractor looks pretty good and the paint is like brand new.

That 4110 with FEL is a fantastic steal at $12K. Grab it.

I have a new Mahindra 5525 (55 hp engine, 45 hp pto, 2WD, gear tranny) that's rock solid.

No question, take the Mahindra.

Wow! even a Jinma owner favor the Mahindra. Thanks! That's very objective opinion there. I love this forum... I really appreciated. Based on mahindra website, the 4110 would cost about $23k MSRP before the financing incentives and discounts.

Here's a picture of the Mahindra. Looks like he takes pretty good care of it.

The Mahindra sounds like a better deal to me. The picture looks as if it has been been maintained well. If the loader is really beat up (didn't see that in the picture) you can always get a new bucket. The warrantee sounds better on the Mahindra for approx. the same length of time.

Thanks for all the comments. I pulled the trigger and went with the Mahindra. I will post other quesiton in the mahindra forum. Thanks again!

That's one beautiful tractor. You did good. Now enjoy.

You made a wise choice Tom,
I would pick the Mahindra too. I believe you'll find it to be a lot more tractor than the Jinma. You know we have a Kama and now a Jinma, so I know the difference, especially after seeing Mahindras at the Ag Show. There's no doubt I make them work, but I keep after them by making their shortcomings better. Had there been a Mahindra like yours when I bought, in that shape, same price, I would have jumped on it too.
