After reading the forums and hearing about TYM / Montana tractors I called a dealer to find out more. The dealer has a bunch of used tractors, and he started to tell me about a Montana 2844 with FEL, BH, canopy with ~ 200 hours on it (2 years old). The person that is trying to sell it wants to let it go for 15k and she purchased it for ~ 22k new.
I'm not really buying a tractor for resale value - more for dependability and features. Like I told the dealer, I'd like to grab a tractor with ~25hp FEL and MMM minimum - it would be nice to have a backhoe, but wouldn't be a show stopper if it didn't have it. With the Mahindra Max 25 it looks like with all those features it would be about 22k (which includes the mid PTO and MMM).
Saving money is important, but I want to make sure I get something that the wife and kids can use without tearing up the gears (HST requirement)
With all those factors in mind, how is the TYM / Montana tractors with reliability, dependability, and maintenance costs compared to Mahindra?
