New poster here (I have been a member since 2008 but this is my first post). I have decided that it is time to buy a compact tractor. I original started looking at the 3616 Mahindra a few years ago (it takes me forever to buy something), so naturally I took a look at the 1500 series. I got three quotes this past Saturday. All prices are for shuttle trans and include rear filled R4 tires and FEL without any other options. I have about 15 acres total with a mix of hills (10 acres) and flat (5 acres). I will be using the machine for mid duty FEL work, finish mowing, bushhoging, driveway maintenance and hobby farming (chickens, goats, maybe a cow and pig or two). I have read just about everything on here and just really cant decide. I think the prices are good and plan to use any bargaining power to buy a finishing mower. I currently have a MF 135 (gas), 6' box blade, 6' bushhog, 6' grader and I also have access to a 5' tiller. I would like to add a 6' rake, two bottom plow, drum mower/sickle bar mower, tedder, hay rake and a square baler or small round baler in the future. Like I said just looking for opinions (aka a shove in the back).
