Comparison Mahindra 2555 vs John Deere 5055e

[tacker]

I am torn between the two.
I like the idea of hst on the mahindra , but the hst on my tc35d just seems to be under powered and gives up before utilizing the power of the tractor. So I could go either way on the power reverse that John Deere has.
I like the clean smooth open floorplan on the mahindra but I hate that the loader joystick is up in front of the steering wheel instead of at my side like on the Deere .. Anyone know if it can be relocated?

Tractor will be used for clearing land , food plots , brush hogging etc... As I mentioned Injave the tc35d hst now and It is under powered for its size

Price wise I can get a new 2016 2555 for $27,500 locally or a Used 2015 5055e Deere for the same $27,500. ( new 2017 $34,000 )

My goal was to stay under $30k and I have all the implements I need already.

Anyone else consider these two tractors ?
The lift capacities on both of these both front and back are greater than all competitors and both are heavier than any of the competitors as well

I have a 5055E and i like it. I wish i had gotten the power reverser. it's been a good tractor so far, 3 years 300 hours. never looked at the mahindra, so i can't help you there

I have a tier 2 5055e and it has been a nightmare. I'm at 300 hrs and I think all the bugs have finally been wrapped up. If you can check the tractors history at the dealer. If is problem free, I'd go that way especially if it's a power reverser. Fit and finish on the Deere is superior to every mahindra I personally have been around. H240 is a good loader too

Don't have any experience with either tractor...
If you want hydro the Mahindra offers it in the 2555...
The Deere has a nice Power Reverser option...

TYM makes the 2555 for Mahindra. They TYM version T554 has the joystick at your side not up by the steering wheel like the 2555. Not sure why Mahindra wants it there but they do.

I purchased the Mahindra 2555 - mainly because of the HST and the open area around the seat. Will make it easier for the kiddos to ride with me. Now I just have to come up with a plan to re-locate the loader joystick

We've got a 2014 JD 5065E and a 2016 Kioti RX6620. Is there a reason you haven't considered Kioti as an option? I understand the RX is slightly over you HP requirements, but the price should be similar. I do exactly what you would do with your tractor. I would take the Kioti over the JD any day of the week. There are too many benefits to list, but here are a few:

Much Quieter Engine
Self Leveling Loader
Loader Control on Rear Fender
Telescoping 3pt Arms
Rear 3pt Control
Electronic 4WD
1900rpm ePTO
3pt Controlled Auto PTO
