I have two hay fields, about 50 acres, that I want to keep cut and a long driveway that needs regular grooming and during winter months needs to be kept clear of snow.
I've been looking at the Mahindras for a while now (the 5525 and the 5530) but the closest dealer is almost 70 miles from us (in northern Maine). The Kioti seems to have lots of features and relativly lower pricing but some of the problems I've read about over at the Kioti forums have given me some pause. The local Kubota dealer is less than 20 miles away and seems to run a pretty good shop both in sales and maint., though I don't think I can really determine in advance how a dealer is going to handle a problem if one should arise.
After looking through the prices and specs I think I like the M5640su. It seems the right size and offers the basic features that I'm looking for. The price online for the tractor alone comes to just over $23k with the rebate. Is that what I should expect to pay? Are there any other incentives or areas to wiggle around?
TIA
