Mahindra sells a total of about 8000 tractors a year. Thats peanuts considering the size of the market. If you have a strong local dealer it might be something to consider. Alot of these things are being sold by car dealers, I would tread carfuly there.

Picture a mahindra in your mind.. then say the words 'massey ferguson' out loud..

Pretty close eh? Kinda like the farmtrac tractors and the ford 2000-3000 models..

Not carbon copies mind you.. but striking similarieties.

I believe I even saw some electrically engaged pto's... Havn't heard the story on them to see if they hold up as good as lever engaged.. or hyd engaged units.. etc.

When I was in the market for a tractor i looked at them.. but they were priced so high.. that I could get a domestic model cheaper... go figure..

I was always told that Mahindras Loaders are being built by KMW? Never heard of Bush Hog making them.

My FEL is a KMW, Has there been a change?

My Mahindra is less than a month old. Its got a KMW loader. I don't think there's been a change.

i bought a 4500 in jan. and so far it is indestructible(although i have tried) your profile doesn't say where you are located so i can't help you with a dealer.my dealer has been very good and gives me great service.

I am located about 45 miles from an dealer. The Kubota dealer is only about 8 miles. I am kinda leaning toward Kubota. The Mahindra line is pricey. Maybe there is a valid reason. I will need to thouroughly check each one out good!

What model are you looking at that was pricey in comparison to equivelant Kubota?

i was in the bush hog plant about 3 weeks ago. there was mahindra loader sitting in the shipping area. they may not make them all but they do make some.

I'm surprised with a couple of the posts that say the Mahindra line is pricey. The Mahindra is marketed around here as a lot of tractor for a resonable cost. Are you sure you are comparing apples to apples? Whe I first started looking I was making the mistake of not doing a proper comparison. The Mahindra is about $1500 - $2000 below comparable tractors around here.
