City Boy,

I just got in my first dozen of the 15 series Mahindra's. If you like the CK20 Kioti or the 2015 Mahindra but you think it is a little small, test drive the 2615 or 3015. I've always been a fan of gear or shuttle/gear transmissions...but after driving these hydros, I think I am beginning to see why everyone likes them so much. The 15 series Mahindra is built by Mitsubishi in Japan, so quality isn't even a question.

Best of luck,

City Boy- I am not familuar with what type of transmission this 2810 has, but a tractor can have a foward & reverse shuttle attached to either a straight gear non syncro, or a syncro. trans
Is the 2810 an India tractor or a componant Korean built? I think the Korean has an Iseki transmission, same as a TYM.

Well, I missed out on the gear drive 2810. It was sold on Friday. So while I was on the lot, I climbed up on a 2810 HST and rode around for a while. Wow! Dealer quoted a price of $16,200 for tractor, FEL, boxblade, rotary cutter, and toothbar. Compared to $14,300 for the CK20 HST w/same implements. I hate to admit this, but I'm thinking hard about the Mahindra, even though that's a couple grand more than I had planned on spending. Decisions, decisions.

I fell in that trap too. It sure is sweet. Better stay away from it else it'll end up in the back yard /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

City Boy, I know just what your going through, after much comparison among a lot of brands I felt the 2810 was just what I wanted, that is until I drove it vs the 2810HST. What a smooth machine! Check the loader specs if it is Mahindra branded. I think you'll find it a little better than on the gear drive. The hydro unit is a little roomier, with no shift lever, you only lose .5 PTO HP with the hydro. I'm not sure if they all come with R4 tires but two that I compared did & the hydro unit had larger tires than the gear unit, able to hold more fluid which made it extremely stable when I was moving full buckets of crushed stone. Also a wider stance. I also liked the two pedal hydro vs the rocker pedal of some other brands. I think the difference in $ is only about $1000 from gear to hydro. Small change for what you get.
Good luck.

What's the rated FEL lift capacity for the Mahindra 2015? Could you explain what you mean...it has more power?
