Stopped by a Mahindra dealer today, he had a 3616, 4035 and 5010 on the lot. We really like the 4035. I've pretty much given up on a factory cab, can't justify the extra cost, so the 5010 CAB is out of the picture. Saw some pictures of the great home build cabs here on TBN, and while I've never attempted a project of that sort, I'm pretty confident that I could build a nice hard cab for way less than a factory cab, and even less than the $3500 SIMS cab.
Anyhow, I got a good offer on a 3535 also, so as far as Mahindra goes it's a toss-up between the 4035 and a 3535. The 4035 has substantially larger tires, and is available with the power shuttle, which is a big deal for us. We're favoring the shuttle vs. HST after talking to several people, the feedback has been that you'll get more torque out of a shuttle transmission vs. the hydro, and a power/hydraulic shuttle is pretty neat.
We want to visit the local Kioti dealer soon, and check out the DK40SE. Anyone know how many price increases there have been on Kioti's since last year? I had a quote from sometime last year on the DK40SE at 20,600$ but I'm sure the price has gone up since then.
On a side note, This dealer we were at is a brand new Mahindra dealer, I didn't even know they had picked up the line. (longtime New Holland dealership). Salesman said they've had the tractors in stock for only 2 weeks.
