Hi everyone. Just signed up on this site after reading many posts when I was deciding on buying a tractor. I found a lot of good information here.
I bought my new Mahindra 3525 about a week ago from Bill's Tractor in Adkins, Texas. The wife and I just completed building a house on our 24 acre ranch that we have owned for serveral years and used mainly for horse grazing. After all the rain we have had, we realized we needed a tractor to take care of the weeds and repairing our 1600 ft gravel driveway. We also have some drainage issues here and there we need to take care of and of course moving hay bails.
We looked at several different makes, but money definitely was a factor. We're Ford fans so a Ford tractor would have been nice. We have a John Deere lawn tractor and considered John Deere as well. Our neighbor has a Kubota and it's a very nice tractor. We decided on a Mahindra due to the price and the very good reviews and the fact that a reputable dealer was about 12 miles away.
We ended up buying a Mahindra 3525 with FEL, 6' shredder, 6' box blade, 9" post hole digger, single row plow (mid buster), canopy and a hay spear. Now if it would only stop raining for a few days so we can actually use it! We had a day with no rain, but the ground was too wet to do much.
Here is a picture of our tractor:
I'm new to the tractor world, so expect lots of questions from me!
