I am looking at these two machines for our hobby farm. its about 46 acres, 35 of which are clear... were going to be bush hogging, skidding logs, running a grapple and feeding round bales primarily... I also would like to be able to grow some of my own hay in the future.. I understand it may not make sense dollar wise, but I would like to be able to say I grew that.. the main issue it that we must have a HST style drive, SWMBO has a bad left knee..any major digging can be done with the Deere 500 TLB I have...I got a price on the 5035 of 28,900 with R4s, one rear hydro remote and rimgaurd in the tires....the Deere I have gotten a quote of 31,500 with R4s, 2 rear remotes and rimgaurd... one issue is the deere is 0% for 60 months, the mahindra he said was 1.9 for 60 months...I liked the Deere better, seemed to fit me better, She didnt have a preference..how awful are those prices????any thoughts as to which would be better for me???
