Mahindra 8560 Cab 4wd

[FlyingG]

I am considering a 2012 8560 cab loader 4wd with about 300 hrs on it. Economics has driven me towards this used machine but I would like someone to give me some feedback on them. This one is clean and been barn kept. I will add that we have owned all green tractors my whole life but for $29k this seems like a smart buy. Anything I should look for or words of warning/wisdom are greatly appreciated. Will be used for shredding with an 8' and 15' shredder, handling a lot of hay and pulling an 8-10' no-till drill and other general ranch duties. Thanks in advance!

Never seen anyone unhappy with one. I'd venture to guess it is simply either too large or too small for the current owner's needs.

Almost bought a beat on open station Mpower 85 with loader with 800 hours for 20K before dealer found the 5500. The 85 was too much tractor for my needs as I have no equipment for it. I did try it out with a 12' disc on some new ground next to dealer lot and it is a BEAST! It never worked up a sweat dragging that big old disk through weeds and thick grass, 2 passes and it could have been planted.
If it is clean and well maintained, that is a good deal for a 85 HP cab tractor. I have had no issues with my 3510 bought new in 2002 and would not hesitate to buy a big Bad Beast when the day comes a bigger tractor is needed.
