Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Mahindra Tractors

My buddy bought a LS about a year ago with a cab and it's nice. (50 hp).
Same NH was $12000 more here. Just different decals....
That's not a misprint, btw.

Waiting for my Kubota MX5800 to be finished and delivered.

60 HP and 50 HP at the PTO
Japanese Built assembled in Georgia.

Kubota has a better small tractor reputation that the JD tractors do with the contractors and Operators that I have talked to over the past several years.

Some of the Small JD tractors are made in India as well as China

I bet you can cut Ren all kinds of shooting lanes with that.

did you also get the optional pissbag containment system?

I've heard it's not cheap but damn near a necessity

wait... whut??


you paid $29k for 25hp??? bwahahahahahaha

ya know they sell lawnmowers at Homo Depot for $1500 a pop

There is an LS dealership a few miles down the road from me. I can pull my TC45A NH up next to a similar size LS, and they're pretty much the same tractor, so one can see the "family" resemblance. When I buy a piece of equipment, I usually end up keeping it a long time, but I also take a look at the resale value. The name brand tractors......Deere, Case-IH, New Holland, and Kubota, most always have a much higher resale value when compared to Mahindra, LS, Kioti, and the like. That in no way means the name brands are better, though they usually have some advantages. If I were buying a new tractor, with no intention of ever selling it in my lifetime, I'd probably take a hard look at something like the LS tractors. But, if I were the kind of farmer who traded every few years, I'd definitely stick with something like Deere.

You haven't shopped for tractors lately, have ya? The compact, or sub-compact, tractors ain't cheap - not matter who makes 'em.. Besides, that FEL and the backhoe run big bux just by themselves.. Add 'em together, figuring tax etc., and $29K isn't bad at all..

you got me there


I don't usually shop for toys

I think it makes a difference as to where the dealer is located.In Colorado Springs,both Deere and Kubota dealers are a$$'s. Go down to Pueblo and even better La Junta and you are treated as family.

I looked at Deere, Kubota, Kiota, Mahindra, and all the others. I settled on the Kubota. Reliability, ease of getting parts, after purchase service,resale value trumped the $$$ 's.There are few Mahindras around here and I hear several complaints about them

The Home Depot mower's a toy..

Why should a person obtain/buy a 100hp $90K tractor when the entire work/area involved is easily handled by a $29K unit? Actually, I'm a bit "over-tractored" here - with 4.8A and a 39hp JD 3039R.

My new 2017 Kubota was $19K out the door,including QC bucket, 6 ft blade and 3 ft hay spears.Prime consideration was being able to lift 3x3x 8 ,bales yet small enough to work in confined spaces.

Darn shame they don't make tractors that held up like the old Ford 8N or 9N and easy to work on.

my 31hp zero turn lawn mower was $13500 4 years ago. Matter of perspective

Do either Kubota or Mahindra do attachments like a belly mower and front mounted snow blowers?

Thanks

Don't know about the belly mount. Maybe on smaller ones. To get a front mount blower, you have to add additional hydraulic ports and have lines run to the front. Friend had one, but it was on 50 HP
tractor as I recall
