Yes. The Kubota is worth the extra money. The Mahindra is an OK tractor, but, it is not a Kubota. And, me personally, I try not to give China any of my money when I have the choice.

SO why is it worth more?

What makes you think they are Chinese made?

I personally don't see anything with the Kubota that is worth 8000 dollars more!

I to am in the market for a new tractor I have looked at the Kubotas and they look light to me. I like the look of the mahindras but like so many on here they scare me for various reasons. I live in Maryville Tn I have 2 Kubota dealers close to me. And a Mahindra dealer down the road the doesn't do warranty work. Mmmm wonder why. I'm still looking almost everything is made overseas. I might just buy me a Old Ford or Massey but I'm still looking.

I'm not sure its possible to do a good apples to apples with an L6060 and anything from Mahindra's line. Its kinda a super landscape class tractor. I can say, that in Kubota land you can buy a small M-series tractor for all but the price of the L6060 if your after the big & heavy kinda design. Lots of options, some more money.. some a lot less too.

I would not buy any brand from a dealer that does not do warranty and service. You can't be a Mahindra dealer and not do warranty or service, so that does not really pass the smell test.

If I didn't need a loader I would gladly own an old JD, Massey, Ford, or Case. Heck, I still want one to mow with. IMO the old 2wd tractors are lacking in the loader department. If you want something big and heavy the old tractors certainly fit the bill.

It looks like you own a nice stable of Kubota products. They build nice stuff. The KX71 is sure a nice little mini-x. But your China comments demonstrate a lack on knowledge regarding Mahindra for sure. Mahindra does not sell Chinese made tractors in the USA. They own a plant in China, like most manufacturers do as China has a huge market for tractors and in China they don't mind buying Chinese quality...In the USA market, the smaller units (38HP and down) are built in Japan or Korea, the larger units are built in India or Korea, depending on the model.

Where do they build their 35 series machines? I was under the impression that they had their own factory in India for those...

The old 35 series and new 3500 series are Mahindra built machines in India.

Yes, I do stand corrected. My fault for not reading the entire article. Apparently, Mahindra is making a big investment in the US. I definitely think much better of them, now.
