Comparison What is the best brand of tractor?

   / What is the best brand of tractor? #121  
I think I could have bought any brand of tractor in the HP I needed and been very happy with it. The Kioti I ended up with has served me well without as much as a hic-up.
I don't think there is an answer to the title heading. My needs could change and then my tractor would not be the best for me anymore.

This is way to tame,not enough brand bashing. OP needs to try this thread again with the title "What brand of tractor would you never buy again and why" or "What brand of tractor would you not even consider buying and why".

Darn it :( Cant stop me from having another beer though!

Gentleman I started this thread because someone on here was bashing me for being pro Mahindra, that person posted on this thread lol

I was waiting for him to say he was pro one brand which clearly he is but didn't.

I honestly don't care who people think is the best brand, I know I wanted a tractor, found multiple I could easily work with and am super happy so far with the tractor I bought.

I'm not Deere for life, I know who is best for cost and lift capacity which is what mattered to me the most and that Mahindra, so I will gladly stand behind Mahindra as a solid tractor to buy, there heavier, much better FEL capacity and a heck of a bargain on price.

I actually don't like the new E series deeres I looked at in the E series 3038, I found them to be cheaply made and FEL was rated at 1100lbs which would work but barely for me, I did not like the meat thermostat style fuel gauge in the hood.

I looked at Kubota, (non grand) found there lift capacity (1050) to be worst in class, tractor ever all was extremely light which was a huge concern to me but actually liked there product, the L3909 I think it was, I liked but lift capacity wasn't enough for my needs.

I looked at new holland 37 workmaster, liked that tractor also, was built nice, had a 66in bucket when most in its class had a 60 but got a quoit back from the dealer 8 days after looking at the tractor and that machine came in at around $6,000 more than the Kubota, lift was better, weight was heavier but no thank you on the price. Boomer being more and closer to the grand series of Kubota and R of JD.

I looked at Case which is the same as new holland and LS, never got my eye on the case but the price was $1000 more than NH so that was a big heck no.

I found Mahindra to be class leading on FEL lift capacity, much heavier machine, most features and the cheapest tractor on the list. I was 110% sold on a 1533 HST or 1538 HST. I really liked there build quality, there warranty was longest by 1-6 years from the others, they had best financing and best rebates, $2000 back on 2 attachments (FEL standard (not included at a attachment)) and 0% for 84 with 0% down.

So in the up to 40hp class that I looked into, Mahindra was best and class leading and was gonna be the tractor I bought.

The ONLY reason I bought a Deere, was because it had a cab and was 50% less than a new tractor which was a poor resale but anyway it was the better investment and was more than big enough for my needs.

I love my tractor, it's comfortable, agile and does (for what I need) an awesome job, but I'm not pro Deere because like I said I don't care at all for the E series I looked at, I personally think the grand in Kubota and the R series JD are way overpriced compared to Mahindra.

So there you have it, I'm the first to actually throw a name out lol. I compared each tractor and company down to where the rubber was made 40hp and under (new tractors), by far Mahindra was best.

That's who I think is best and why (40hp and under new compacts).

Very good summary Farmer John. I really only considered Kubota, New Holland, and Mahindra since I drive right past their dealership every day going to work. I had owned a nice little 1720 New Holland for over 10 years and had purchased a FEL from this dealer several years ago along with parts over the years. I would have looked at Deere but the nearest dealer was 35 miles away. Same thing with Kioti and Branson. At the time New Holland was promoting the Workmaster line with pretty aggressive pricing and I wanted a utility sized tractor. If I was looking for a cabbed tractor Mahindra is more aggressively priced but I really like New Holland and the T series.

I once thought Mahindra was the best also. I don't any longer. I think MF (Iseki) and Kubota are IMO. I think there are a lot of good tractors though but you asked for the best. I think new green paint is over priced. I think Mahindra has too many other companies building their tractors along with JD but I would still buy either if the deal was right.

There how is that for a little brand bashing! :D

If you started another thread called "What tractor has the best marketing" I would say Mahindra.

Everyone also defines "Best" differently also. I say best means the tractor that holds up, has the least glitches and issues; not necessarily the highest lift capacity etc.

Yes even Rush Limbo does their adds and everyone believes the Rushski.

My Kioti New Holland dealer dropped Mahindra due to breakdowns and problems getting paid for warranty work. The Massey dealer picked them up and dropped Massey. Go figure.
