Mahindra 3016 vs 3616

[DavesTractor]

Dealers set their own prices, but I'd think you can get a 3616 for about $2500 more than the 3016 if both are spec'd with the same loader and the same transmission type. Many dealer spec the 3016 with the pin-on bucket ML115 and the 3616 with the skid-steer ML115skc, and that adds about $500 at MSRP if I recall correctly. So in that instance, a $3k spread is about normal.

The 36 has 8 HP more and runs a little larger tire. Lift is the same, weight is about the same. So it comes down to if you need more HP to run a larger mower or something.

Thanks everyone for the info back.

Just as an FYI on this. I got my first "real" quote on the 3616 the other day. I've decided to go with that one.

I did no haggling at all ... just a straight quote from the dealer and it was $2,245 higher than what I had as my estimate on page 1.

I think with a bit of haggling I could get it quite close to this #. There was about $1,000 that was on implements that were higher than I could go to Tractor Supply and pick them up for.

I'll post up again here soon. I hope to today talk to a different dealer that I actually want to buy from.. so hopefully by the end of the day I'll a good firm haggled over quote from him.

Thanks,

Brian

Thank you for the update. I will be interested in where you end up. I am planning on getting quotes toward the end of next week and any info you post will be much appreciated.

I could not justify the extra expense for a few more HP.

My dealer told me also the 3616 uses a more fuel also as if has a turbo but does not bog as easy.

The 3616 is not turbocharged.

Apologies.....I thought that was the diff between the 2 models.

I dont feel bad now for having 6 less hp.

Don't mean to be fussy, but it is 8 HP difference. Basically the 3616 has a larger engine and a larger set of tires if you go with the R4 tires, and the exact same tires if you go with R1. I think for most people, the 3016 is more than adequate. We sell 3016 vs 3616 about 5:1. Where I'd prefer the 3616 is in running a large mower or tiller where you just have to have more PTO HP.

Ok ... so I went to the dealer yesterday and did some haggling. Got the price down some .. but not to my goal. Low enough that I took the package. Waiting on financing to be oked at this point.

Here is what I got:

3616 Shuttle 4wd (no cab) FEL with filled Ag tires = $18,695
5' Bush Hog (with slip clutch) = $895
55 Gallon Boom Sprayer with Aluminum Gun = $895
5' Tiller (with slip clutch and 5 tines per) = $1550
3 Point harness seed/fertilizer spreader = $450
2 Hooks welded on bucket (one in line with each arm) = Free


So a total of $22,485 for the package.

I decided to drop the finish mower as I need the sprayer more than the finish mower.

Hopefully financing goes through and I'm supposed to be able to get it this weekend!

Just got word that financing was approved!

So happy... should take delivery this weekend.

Thanks,
