Mahindra discussion

KENB · May 11, 2004

Since it has been a while since the last post here, I thought I'd let everyone know that a large Mahindra discussion is taking place over on "Buying/Pricing". /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ken . While it started out as a decent discussion on Mahindra , It got ugly fairly quickly . Too bad , as it had the makings of an informative thread to those looking to buy a Mahindra .

I think that if the original question had been posted here - or moved here by a moderator - it would not have degenerated like it did.

It did get ugly but, I think it ended up showing more about the posters than the product.

There have been other discussions about other products with the same results. Not much new here, but it can be a little amusing at times.

It reminds me of my typical day teaching 7th graders in my junior high classroom!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Interesting that it was a moderator, "Cowboydoc", that fanned the flames. His content was, in my opinion, inaccurate and his manner came across inflammatory. People are slow to learn that it is not just what you say, but how you say it.

I always look at it like this, tractors are like shoes, not one shoe fits everyone, just like one brand of tractor doesn't fit everyone. Thats why many dealers carry a couple brands of tractors. Both are good brands but some just fit people better. Every tractor has benefits and drawbacks no matter what brand, some lift higher, some weigh more, some have other features that others don't. This doesn't necessarily make one any better than the other, although some brands are better than others. You just have to weigh the benefits and features to your wants and needs when buying a tractor and good dealer support is also key to a good tractor.

Speaking of one size doesn't fit all, Has anyone had any experimentation with RAISING their Mahindra tractor seat?? If I were about 2" taller, I could see my FEL bucket. Since I can't get any taller, maybe the seat could be raised??? Hmm.

Im not sure on Mahindra tractors, but on our Kiotis we have had some customers unbolt the seats and install a spacer block. One guy used some scrap 2x4's, even looked pretty good when he was done.
