- Kubota M7040
I am having a tough time deciding between a Mahindra 7520 4WD and a comparable Kubota M7040 4WD or M8540 4WD.
My local Mahindra dealer (60 miles away) will sell me the 7520 4WD for $24,000 (special state fair price). No cab or FEL.
My local Kubota dealer (1 mile away) will sell me the M7040 with hdyraulic shift for $25,200. No cab or FEL.
The Kubota seems to be more refined then the Mahindra but I will take a drop in weight, horsepower, etc..
The Kubota with the hydraulic shift has a wet clutch, wet brakes, and a hydraulic PTO.
If I go with the Mahindra, I lose the hydraulic shift, wet clutch, and hydaulic PTO but I gain a little horsepower, another year of warranty, and better financing.
I will be using this tractor to mow/brush hog approximately 45 acres of CRP and do occassional dirt work to repair ditches.
What would you do?
