Mahindra 5525, definately reliable
Model Year: 2008
I have had this tractor about a year and a half to use on our small horse farm. Uses have been spreading manure, baling hay, clearing snow, running a box blade and using a 8ft pull behind disc, does all jobs with no problems. I cut hay with a NH489 and bale with an old NH66, it will run both machines without breaking a sweat. The only trouble I have is in removing snow, I didn't get the rear tires filled or get wights for them, so getting traction in some of the deeper snow is a big hassle. Thanks goodness for the loader bucket to help me out...
Pros: Very reliable especially in the cold
Cons: Gear tractor so it can get a bit stubborn shifting sometimes, but could need clutch adjustment
