Buying Advice Mahindra 2555 or Kioti NX4510?

I knew the emax was built in korea but didn't know it was by daedong...thanks.

Mahindra uses 4 separate suppliers for their tractors.

The eMax tractors are Daedong machines.
The Max, 1500 series, 16 series, are made by Mitsubishi.
The 2500 series, 10 series and mForce machines are made by TYM.
The 3500 series, 35 series, 4500 series, 5500 series, 30 series, 60 series, mPower machines are made by Mahindra.

To the best of my knowledge this is how it currently is with the tractors that are on the website. Mahindra's utility size tractors have for the most part always been built by Mahindra. Until the 60 series tractors, all cab tractors were built by TYM. Mitsubishi has made the compact tractors for sometime now. The eMax is the first Daedong that I know about.

I hope that this clarifies the Manufacturers for those that are concerned.

Thanks...I know that has been confusing to many of us.

Thank you, I didn't know this and it makes me rethink my leaning towards Mahindra. I'm not a big fan of buying a repainted tractor from one company when it's actually another brand. I would much prefer to buy the original brand. I'm not too concerned with where it's built as long as it's not China. The reputation for equipment from there isn't very encouraging.

From what I can tell, the machines that Mahindra has built for them by these other companies do have them built to their specs. They are not exactly like the counter parts of the parent company. Different engines in some, fewer deluxe features like no extendable lower links, different tires, (better-worse?)

I know that as far as the TYM built machines, I would prefer to have the TYM for less $$$$ vs the Mahindra equivalent. :no:

When I was looking at the Mahindra 5010 (a re-badged Tym), it mystified me why Mahindra spec'd it without the extendable lower lift arms whereas the Tym version has them. It appeared almost identical otherwise.

After having extendable lower lift arms on my Kioti, I'm spoiled.

Back when I was shopping last time, I was really considering the Mahindra 6010 for the HP and loader. But, lacking the extendable lift arms threw me off as well. I asked the Mahindra dealer if he could add then, but he said no... But he'd throw in a quick hitch, which I wasn't interested in.

It looks like the TYM models also have a "stall guard" feature that was left out on the Mahindra models.

Yes along with all the other deluxe standard features of the old DK series.

We got a alot of tractor for the money :thumbsup:

That was a big plus for me when I was shopping.

That same people who made Bobcat tractors, build John Deere's 6 series tractors for the Asian market, supply the industry with tractor bits and transmission components and do business as Kioti, as well as the same people making Massey's CUTs all supply Mahindra. The horror!

What is the problem with India?

Full disclosure: I own common stock in India's largest bank. India is one of the few countries with upturning population demographics over the next 20 years.

I really don't have a problem with India, its people or many products that come from there. When it came time to look for a new machine I visited two Mahindra dealerships first. Both had a good variety of machines and I looked over almost everything on the lots. What I started to see was that certain models or styles of tractor seemed to have small flaws or outright broken or not working things. I found after wards that all the machines I saw that had flaws were the ones made in India and that really was more than enough to keep me from seriously considering any Mahindra that was not a TYM or Mitsubishi built machine. Now maybe my experience was that I went to two dealers who just didn't get to check and fix any factory known problems or known loose bolts type things but I was there as they uncrated a DK40 and really couldn't find anything that needed fixed from the start after initial assembly and the same held true with the TYM when I was at a new TYM dealership and watched them assemble a TYM 353 cab.

All - THANK YOU for all of the VERY HELPFUL information. I went with the Mahindra 2555 HST Cab...pics over in the Mahindra forum...

The Mahindra EMax tractors are built by TYM. In Mahindra they use a Daedong engine and in the TYM model they use a Yanmar.

I have a TYM T503 which is = To Mahindra's 5010 and my TYM has the extendable lower lift arms and draft control which isn't on the Mahindra unit. Mahindra tells TYM what accessories they want or don't want on their tractors.

I think you will be very happy with your 2555. I know I have been very happy with my T503 and they are the same basic tractor.
