- 2013 Kubota MX5100 HST, 1989 Kubota F2100
Well I never thought I would be looking at a Indian made tractor. I always thought I would buy a Kubota. I have a Kubota F2100 machine that I bought new 25 years ago and its a great mowing, snow removal machine. I have a 35 yr old IH 574 RC that I will be trading in on a hydrostatic drive tractor. I need at least 40 PTO hp. I am down sizing but going to 4wd. I mow pasture and lawn, work a woodlot and do a market garden with a tiller, row bedder etc.
I am going to buy a Kubota MX5100 hydro or a Mahindra 5035 hydro. Both with Ag tires and a FEL. The Mahindra comes standard with rear outlets, parking brake and tilt steering wheel ( not sure if Kubota has the latter two) It is slightly bigger (bigger tires and a few inches wider) and a good bit heavier. Price is pretty close. I will be getting a custom bucket for the FEL on the Mahindra as the one supplied is too shallow for my likes. The dealers are all good ones, the red tractor has a better warranty. I have yet to drive the Kubota. The Mahindra seems like a nice tractor. Seems to be a little more tractor than the Kubota. Minor increases in lifting capacity. I need to make a decision but I don't see that I can go wrong with either tractor...
