Mahindra 3316 +'s. Overall a good tractor. There is a dealer right here in town, and I live in a very small town (5,000 people). The dealer did not have any 3316's when I was looking, only a 2816 gear tractor. These tractors come standard with cruise and drawbar. I did not get a chance to drive one as the dealer never called me back when he was supposed to get one in.
-'s. Probably the biggest thing on this tractor is it just felt small. I did not get the chance to look at the 33 but judging from the 28HP it just felt little. Maybe I'm crazy but I just for some reason did not like the Mahindra brand. The price was not any chaper for the 33 at about 19K with HST and FEL, plus the HP was a little on the weak side for what I wanted (30 PTO HP). Also, the 33 has a turbo, which I am trying to avoid. It would have certainly been the most convenient tractor with a dealer right here in town. If the dealer had better inventory or had called me back knowing I wanted to test the 33 HP I probably would have given them a better shot. As it was, their price was higher than the Kubota which had similar features and hydro.
I am sorry to hear that your Mahindra dealer didn't come through for you. But, the 3316 compared to the 2816, is kind of like the Cadilac compared to the Chevy. The 3316 has a much roomier operator station and many more improvements over the 2816. The dealer, at his loss, didn't do his job and I think he could have done far better on his pricing. I know I could have. Any how I am sure you will be pleased with your Kubota and I wish you good luck with it!
