3215 gear tranny price check: comparison to L3400

[hockeypuck]

I have been bouncing back and forth between Kubota L3400 and a Mahindra 3215. I was surprised when I got a quote of $18300 for a gear tranny with FEL for the 3215 and I can get a L3400 for $16200. I thought that I would save some bling by going Mahindra, but I have to pay more for 2hp less. I understand that the north east prices are outrageous but I am tempted to grab a trailer and go south. Help would be appreciated.

hey puck,

i just bought a new '06 4110 with FEL for $19,800. you'll find that the dealer i bought from has the absolute lowest prices on mahindra tractors. he even has people in northern maine that buy from him. pm me if you want the dealer info. when i was shopping around, his prices were a minimum of $2000 less then other mahindra dealers.

Puck, Dealer price at an open house in Auburn, ME recently listed the 3215 w/Bobcat Loader for $17,850....18,700 for the Hydro. I believe the 3215 is the new model but the older 3015 Hydro with regular loader was $16,995. I thought that was decent price.

What do you mean by "Bobcat" loader? Do you mean skid steer style quick attach on the front?

[MajMac392]

That is the way the dealer listed it in his flyer but yes it had a couple of levers on it that released the bucket to add other things on the loader. That same arrangement is on the 2815 and 3215 if I remember right.
