ok...used Mahindra or brand new LS...both have loaders....the used one is 12,200.00 the new one is 15,000.00 the new LS comes with a brand new 4ft brush hog and loaded rears....whacha think ?
While I am not familiar with LS, I am familiar with Mahindra..and a lot of the "other color's" .The 3016 is a more than capable machine.However you failed to mention what task's you are wanting to accomplish with the tractor ,how much acreage? the duties you are expecting of your machine,,driveway maintenance,snow removal duties etc....A few questions come to mind for me. what does the new Ls require to meet the tier 4 requirement's? Does it use a regen mode with Def ? The mahindra is more than likely a tier 3 machine which does not have all of the new regen particulate filter requirement's which equal's less hassle..Just fill it, use it,and go about your business..Ultimately only you can decide what is right for your need's and comfort..go sit on and operate them both,pay attention to the layout and comfort of the control position's for you..No one's opinion can equal that.Ultimately it is your choice for what fit's you best..Oh and the Mahindra has about 4 more Hp and shuttle shift which will equal more hp at the pto..
Good luck

well...brush hog about 4 acres a couple times a year...play around moving gravel...maybe bucket up some snow in the winter...that's about it...That is why im having a hard time spending that much on either tractor...I could probably get by with an 8n Ford:confused2:
