OK, so I've been to 4 dealers now, 2 in each camp.
I'm looking at the Mahindra 2555 HST CAB and the Kioti NX4510 HST CAB. Yes, I know there's 5HP difference, but neither Kioti dealer in my areas has the NX5010, so there's nothing I can do about it. Plus, it's $2-3k less, so that's a bonus, right!?!?
I have to be honest, I'm stuck, and can't decide.
The Mahindra SEEMS a bit bigger inside the cab. Plus it's 5HP higher, but only 4HP more at the PTO. But it's $3k more.
The Kioti seems a bit smaller, but is workable and is $3k less, which definitely helps the budget (re: the wife)
Both dealers are within reasonable distance (30 minutes), but the Kioti is much closer. The Mahindra dealer has been in business for 12 years, while the Kioti only 2 1/2.
Anything you guys are aware of on either side that I'm missing that might help pull me in one direction or the other? Right now, my GUT is telling me RED because of the extra HP (or that might be my testosterone kicking in). We're going to have 32 acres, 17 of which we'll be haying, the other 13 we'll be using for barn/grazing and the remaining acre or so is the house, etc. It's all relatively flat, no trees (used to be all pasture/hay fields), etc.
Thoughts? HELP!
