Reposting from New Members Section
Hi Guys and Girls!
New member. I've been reading posts on here for over 6 months. Incredibly helpful (and addictive!!!!) forum!
I've read ALL 40 pages of this thread twice!!! Thanks to everyone who posted some really informative information.
Within a week I'll be buying either a Kubota B series (B2320?) or Mahindra Max series (either 24 or 25).
6 months of research and looking and spending time at dealers. What I've learned on this site from you members?
1. Make sure you like the dealership!
2. Mahindra's have good specs.
3. Kubota's hold their value.
4. Don't compare the Mahindra Max series (especially the 25 and 28) to the Kubota BX series...compare them to the B series.
5. R4 tires are a good compromise.
6. Buy more/bigger than you think you'll need...cuz you'll appreciate it down the road.
7. You can't take it with you...so buy! lol!
8. Green is expensive.
9. Don't tell your wife how much you spent. Just let her buy something she wants.
10. And finally...buy a tractor. Life is short.
So again, thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. I've learned a lot and it got me over the hump to buy. And by the way, the folks at both the Kubota and Mahindra dealerships in my area (Carlisle) have all been friendly and nice to talk to. I'd really like to give BOTH of them my money! lol!
