Here is My dilemma I have been looking and comparing and have come to a a tough choice. I can get a Mahindra 3016 with FEL and finish mower for 19,516 out the door OR I could get JD 3038 with FEL, finish mower and box blade and tires filled and delivered 20,375 out the door.
Facts: Mahindra has removable FEL ?I like this feature a lot), 5 year warranty, foldable ROPS I would have to buy a box blade $900
JD has 8 more HP and 9 more PTO hp ?4 at home visits for scheduled maintenance included (except air cleaner) from dealer 3 year warranty (dealer will include 4th year of warranty if under 1000 hours)
both dealers are equal distance 15 miles/ both dealers are good and have reputable service
I will be using the tractor on 12 acres 100% flat pastures for mowing, barn cleaning,poop spreading and gravel road maintenance. I want to use a finish mower on the 2 acres around the house. I would like to pull a ground implement to smooth out pasture and FEL to clean up the ponds that have filled with silt.
I just can't decide.
Any comments, opinions or criticisms are welcome.
