Buying Advice Help !!!

[tigertag13]

Help people, I think Momma and I have settled on a tractor or two. I cant decide between a 2009 4110 mahindra with 341 hrs on it for 17000 with fel or a new 4035. I dont have a clue on what are fair prices for these tractors. There arent many mahindras here in michigan.

4035 PST w FEL w one factory remote, new is $22,900 (down here)....4035 gear shuttle with FEL and no remotes new is $19,995...both prices quoted here in Louisiana in the past five days...did not get an HST quote...I'm going with a new 4035, haven't decided yet between PST and Gear/shuttle... Hope this helps.

And, both quotes are pre tax, title, insurance, etc...in short just the tractor price...oh, almost forgot, those were the "cash" prices, not the financed prices which, with mahindra, are significantly different...

Are you looking at the Rudyard dealer north of you, or WAY down south in West Branch???? I bought mine in Rudyard about a year ago, and had it shipped up from the assembly place in Chatanooga. So, you don't have to just settle for what is on the dealer lot. Not that a used 4110 or new 4035 is ' settle'n ' [ I drive past the Pelston airport on my way to the bridge ] Does the 2009 4110 have the Quick Attach loader bucket..?? I know the 4035 does. You are going to want the QA for a set of forks or sumptin....

Im lookin at getting the 4wd 4025 brand new with FEL for $19,990 for what it is worth to you.

Yes, the 4110 is from Gaylor Trucking in Rudyard, they seem like real nice folk. How has your service been with them? I wish I knew more about the differences between the two tractors. This is going to be a one shot deal, I'm not going to be in this position again. Which one is the better made tractor, better reliability? Are you happy with your dealer ?

Ive got the ok from Momma to buy the one I want, I'm just not sure which one that is. I'm pretty set on the Mahindra brand but unsure of which one to get, the used 4110 or a new or used 4035. The prices are'nt the deciding factor, I want to buy the best one

 

[Biggreenavalanche]

I'd recommend you go sit on, and operate both....sounds like you've already got two problems "whupped", money 'n mama.... Seriously, go sit 'n play and get the one that "feels" the best, I personally prefer the 4035, just a preference...

I'm probably the luckiest, happiest man in the world and I never thought I would be in this situation. Why do you prefer the 4035 over the 4110 ?

The 35 series is well appointed. Very sleek designed tractors. I would pit it against all colors and pick the mahindra

Both are good tractors. The 4110 is Korean and the 4035 is from India. The 4035 is quite a bit heavier than the 4110, if you look at the rear axle area on both you will see the difference. The 4035 also has sliding bottom arms on the three point to help with hooking up equipment. The 4035 also has a 11 gpm hyd pump vs. around 8 gpm for the 4110. The 4035 is just more tractor. So remember that whilst the tractors have simular horsepower they are quite different. I have not had my tractor back for any type of service. But Justin, the mechanic... and Kathy, the owner... are they reason I bought there. Justin is the one you should talk to. He likes tractors, and it shows. Good luck, Jerry.....

Tigertag13, I prefer the 35 series for all the reasons Jerryk said, and, it just seems to fit my but better !

I've done a whole bunch of comparing, make, model, ALL the different stats...for my purposes and acreage, I'd pretty much decided on a 40 hp...all comps done, the mahindra 4035 came in a solid 1st...then I went and put butt to seat and met wit dealers...NOT, lemme repeat, NOT happy with local JD dealer, kubota came second overall.....most comfortable non cab was the 4035, had the best overall stats and by far was the least expensive...that's the short of how I ended up at the 4035...

Are you or were you worried about the 4035 being only a 3 cylinder instead of a 4 cylinder ?

 

[JerryK]

They have been making 3 cylinder inline diesels for many moons. Both the 4 and 3 cylinder designs are 'unsmooth, shaky, or whatever' if not properly counterbalanced. My JD 2240 is a 51 PTO hp [ around 60 engine hp ] and a 3 cylinder..... runs great and sounds sweet to me....

If the budget allows the new 4035, then it's a no brainer. The 4110 is a great tractor, but not the equivalent of a 4035.

The 35 series were designed by customers and dealers in the USA. Mahindra sent around a design team a few years back and they met with customers and dealers in various locations across the USA. The went over possible features, capacities, etc. The general consensus was that we wanted steel hoods and fenders, large tires, sleek hood, lights up high so we could see over the loader, a nice seat, a worklight standard, telescoping rear sway links, cup holders, etc., etc. And we got it. And since the engineers in India don't understand "compact tractor" like we do, they built these things like tanks. And that is good as long as you aren't trying to mow the lawn with it, it's a little heavy for that. Although they sell a large set of turfs for the 4035 and a truly mondo set for the 5035. They look so cool, and I suppose they lighten the footprint adequately.

If you are concerned about the 3 cylinder 4035 [ which you should not be], you can always have Gaylor Trucking truck you up a 5035 from Chatanooga. The 5035 is basically the same as the 4035, except a little more powerful loader, little bigger tires, and a 4 cylinder. Cost a little more, but you said money was NO OBJECT..!!!! [ shipping up a special order tractor costs extra, but Kathy did it for me.. ] again...

Nope, not a bit...I have a MF 35 that was built around '65 or so, 3 cy Perkins in it, and it is almost as old as me ! It's still chuggin along just fine...so, if my soon to be owned 4035 lasts that long I'll probably be long gone when it gives up the ghost...so not worried a bit about the 3 cy thing...
