I have been looking for a 60(ish) horse tractor for a few months and have narrowed the search down to the Kubota M6800 and the Mahindra 6500. Both models with 4wd and FEL. The Mahindra is around 4,000.00 less than the Kubota, and Mahindra is new to the area. Is there anyone out there who has had a Mahindra for a few years ?
This is also the first time I have purchased a new tractor and I'm not sure how much mark up a tractor typically has. I haven't done any serious face to face negotiating, but the Kubota dealer is not budging much. I have a 2510 Long 2wd with a Bush Hog FEL only 625 hours that I would like to trade in. I have a price of 18,000 and my tractor from Mahindra and 22,000 and my tractor for the Kubota. Does this sound reasonable ??
