Dave,
I posted because I wanted to make a point that Mahindra's aren't cheap. If you read anymore into it than that, that's your opinion.
As for you stating:
"But I'm not sure why you would post this opinion yet again, other than to stir things up? It's not like you were answering someones question. It's just not good protocol in my opinion."
My post was for all the new to TBN guys who haven't bought a tractor yet. Since I have been on TBN, I have noticed that guys will post that they are "on a budget", "need a cheapo tractor"...blah, blah, blah. Then they post Mahindra at the top of their list. Mahindra's AIN'T CHEAP. They aren't cheaply made or priced, the latter at least in my neck of the country.
Anyhow, I guess the comment I made saying "no wonder I bought orange" got this post moved...nothing else. It WAS a statement legit to the comparison/buying/PRICING forum.
Everybody's always walking on egg shells about which tractor they own, me included because of my "orange" comment. I should have just said Kubota and from now on I will. Everyone is pretty much scared someone will get their feelings hurt. Dude, we are all men here, no sensitive thongs allowed. I'll repeat, I like all tractors. If it rolls and does the job, I don't give a rat's arse if you bought a gold plated tractor built by aliens. My point is, if you own a JD and want to think your tractor is numero uno, good on you. Same with Yan-Mar, NH, Case, Kioti, Massey...................list goes on and on. It doesn't hurt my feelings and shouldn't bother anyone else unless they are having buyers remorse for purchasing their particular brand.
Have a good day Dave!
