Hi everyone, My first post on this forum and unfortunately it is not a happy one. I ordered a 5035 HST from my local dealer and gave a substantial deposit on October 21 and was told to expect delivery late November or early December. The order was placed with Mahindra and my dealer was notified that there were no units in stock but there were units en route to the warehouse so the tractor would be built and shipped as soon as it arrived. My dealer just recently returned from the dealer meeting and has learned that Mahindra is no longer able to provide the tractor that was ordered and that if I want a tractor it will cost an additional $3500. I guess the new tractors have additional pollution controls and this is why there is a price increase. I am a little upset now that I have waited a month and Mahindra has just decided to let me know that my tractor is not available unless I want to shell out for the new model. I must say that my dealer has gone out of their way to find another new unit within a reasonable distance without much luck and is very upset as well because now they will probably lose the sale. I think Mahindra should at least try to meet me in the middle and split the extra charge since the order has been in the system for a month now but their attitude is give us $3500 more or too bad. This doesn't sit well with me and I think I will just start looking at other brands now. If this is how they treat potential customers I don't think I want to find out how customers are treated once they have your money.
Cheers
