Comparison Mahindra 6065 vs. Massey 4707 vs. Kubota M6060

[TCB66]

So after much review of the three and the idea of just bringing mine bck home with the new engine I decided to buy The Mahindra 6065 Cab/ Loader for the following reasons in no particular order:

Power Shuttle = Less lower back pain for me.
Air Ride Seat
Buddy Seat provision
Low engine speed for 540 pto and also 540E
Heaviest weight
Cat 1 & 2 Three Point
No DPF, running an engine more to reduce emissions just doesn't make any sense to me.

The fact that The Dealer, Grove Equipment was very responsive to my needs and loaned me a tractor while they had mine. Has always been courteous and helpful even though my 2555 was not bought from them.

Mahindra Customer assistance prioritized my new engine shipment to resolve the situation fast and then offered me an additional $1500 trade assistance for my discomfort. I had a positive response from everyone I contacted in the company including the President and Darren White, Sr. Manager, Customer Satisfaction & Dealer Development

The deal on the Mahindra was just great. $6900Cashback/discount, $25k trade allowance for 2015 2555, $1500 from Mahindra netted a difference of Just $17000.

Any Tractor can be broken, but I am convinced that my dealer and Mahindra America value my business and do everything they can to keep it. They have already proven it.
I had them add radial r1 tires, third function and buddy seat. I'll post pictures when it gets here. Thank you all for the great advice!

It seems that all the advertising in the world does not and can not equal the results of one very positive personal experience.. It may not be so simple to armor the underside of the tractor however? Most surfaces are not flat. Would you remove existing bolts for retention?
Those bolts require a specific torque and reinstallation through expanded metal could prove difficult? . Rigid hydraulic lines and filters contribute to a skewed plane. Don't wish to weaken component connection strength?. To be effective, armor must be very rigid. If an existing bolt penetrates a reservior, yikes? Could you effect your warranty? Cover over drain plugs? Guess this application would require careful thought and layout.

Different models likely to produce their own set of challenges. Caution against permanent welding. Just some thoughts.

Those are all great thoughts, We have a body shop and neighbor with sign shop also has every metal equipment known to man. It will all be bolt on except maybe some tabs welded to the loader frame.

Nice tractor - - unfortunate location for a tool box???

 

[Bigpuddie]

The tool and battery box locations on the Mahindra were part of the decision to rule them out. Just not that well of a thought out tractor IMO

Data TAg on Massey read"Made in China"

The MF "Global" line is made in China, I don't know where the de luxe version is made, having said so I'd not worry as even the chinese made tractors have to meet MF spec and quality
