Comparison deciding between mahindra 3616 shuttle and new holland t1520

[bradleycade]

hello everyone, i am a first time tractor buyer and am trying to decide between a mahindra 3616 shuttle and a new holland t1520 both with a FEL. i would like to know the pros and cons of these or any advice anyone has on which way i should go. i like the horsepower range of both tractors. i plan on running a 5ft bush hog, 5ft box blade, and a finishing mower (not sure on the size yet). i live on 10 acres that is mostly flat and plan on doing mostly cutting and dirtwork/driveway work a few times throughout the year.

My buddy has the 1520 and got to drive it around,nice little tractor,did alittle dirt work and picked up some 4x5 round bales,but he did say he wish he went with I think he said 1540. Dont know of anyone that has a mahindra so cant say much about them but I can say good things about the Kubota(but not in the runnings)......

I've owned larger and older John Deere, Ford, and Massey Harris tractors, I now own a Mahindra 2615 and LOVE it! One flaw, the FEL on this peticular model bolts to the block. Very bad idea, and expensive to those who are hard on their equipment. :thumbsup:
