New (used) tractor and new here

[David WM]

New to this forum....just bought an '07 Mahindra 5530 4wd with 240 hrs on it. Can anyone offer any war stories, likes or dislikes, things to do or not do about this make and/or model of tractor? I'll be happy to share any info I come across. I also have a '98 Kubota L2900 4wd that has been a very good machine and is still going strong with 2161 hard hours on it. Wanted another Kubota, but they are just a little out of my price range these days.
thanks,
David

I did my homework/research before looking at the tractor and read quite a few reviews, even talked with a dealer that is fairly close, but these are some reviews that I didn't read, thanks a lot Steve. The tractor does need a new battery, and like some reviews said, the battery compartment could have been designed a lot better. But, it's not impossible, just a little more labor intensive than some. Have yet to work with the tractor, just got home with it on Friday then our weather turned ugly. Maybe later in the week.....
thanks again Steve,
David
