Looking at the 2816

Farmall200 · 04-28-2008, 01:47 PM

I am in the market for a new tractor and am considering a 2816. I haven't been able to find much info about that particular model. Any thoughts or advice?

2816 is the same as the 2615.

Farmall200 · 04-28-2008, 02:52 PM

So I would be just as well off to buy the 2615 at a less expensive price? With the 2816, what would I be gaining other than a little more power?

I would say so. I'm not so sure you would be gaining any more power with the 2816 anyway. The only thing different would be the black paint on the frame. I think the concensus around here is, get the 2615 at the better price. The 2615 dynos out at 28-29 hp anyway, Mahindra just chose to list it a 26.

I posted a similar question a while back, and got alot of responses. I guess the general concensus among the dealers on TBN, is that the new 16 series will be pretty much identical to the 15 series, with the exception of some black paint instead of gray, and a tier 4 diesel engine instead of tier 3, a different model number, (and YES, a slightly higher price)!

Also, from what I've read on TBN, the 15 series Mahindra's rated horsepower is usually somewhat under-rated, and the 2615 probably is a 28HP thractor anyway. I'd grab the 2615, and save a buck or 2. I love my 2015.

Hey MDM, didn't mean to "echo" your post. You must have been typing the same time as me!

Great minds think alike.

With all due respect guys, there is a good reason to buy the 2816 (like I just did last Friday) and that is the dealer had no 2615s, and the wife said buy a tractor. I liked a 2615 they had in the shop for service, and as luck would have it, they had just received a new 2816 in the day before I looked. Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I needed to act on this "need" before I (or my wife) changed my mind. So there you have it, a good reason to buy the 2816. The 0% financing helped too.

A better question would be..."Where exactly do you find the wife that tells YOU to buy a tractor?????"
