Have narrowed my endless quest to get this right to these two models. They both have the same price. $18,600 with FEL. Loaded tires. Give me your best argument for one vs the other. Both local dealers. Both helpful and informative. What say you?
Check again. The kubota is 100lbs heavier. Mahindra HST w/ROPS....2566 TractorData.com Mahindra 3616 tractor dimensions information Kubota HST 2668 TractorData.com Kubota L3800 tractor dimensions informationThe 3616 weighs more than the L3800 and according to TRACTORDATA has a 650 lb lift advantage.
Also the 3616 Shuttle Shift has an independent pto so if you run a cutter you will really enjoy it. That live pto in the Kubota gets annoying when you are backing up to ditches brush cutting.
The Mitsubishi engine seems more quiet than that Kubota, maybe because the Kubota has to wind up to higher RPM's to achieve the same PTO hp as the smaller Mitsu engine. That should save you fuel with the Mahindra too.
:laughing::laughing: Sorry, but that is completely unfounded, bias, and total BS with no facts at all to back it up.Add that up with the less expensive filters of the Mahindra and over the years between warranty, maintenance costs and fuel savings you can see that the Mahindra is the most economical choice.
Obviously I am a Mahindra Man,
but these facts came from tractor data and we get Kubotas in on trade for Mahindras all of the time.
