What\'s your opinion of Branson, Kioti, or Mahindra
Hello all -
I've finally decided to bite the bullet and get a tractor. I've been reading info at this website for about a year now, so I've learned a lot, but wanted to get the latest feedback.
A *little* about my use for it -
Basic FEL work, post hole digging, dirt road maintainence, and mowing on select areas of ~220 acre Texas ranch. One field, ~ 2.5 acres to plow/seed (for wildlife).
I've narrowed it to:
Branson F4350 ~ $13,750
Kioti DK40 ~ $14,500
Mahindra 4110 ~ $14,250
I wouldn't MIND having a blue, orange (other orange), or green, but it all boils down to $$$ - in that I simply can't bring myself to spend the extra money.
SO - based on what I've read here (and a few other places) folks generally seem to like these tractors - maybe an occasional problem, or occasional difficulty getting a part - but overall, a generally positive response.
My questions:
1) are there any "got-ya's" I've missed with any of these tractors?
2) if you were trying to make this decision, what would you do and why.
Thanks for your input!
