Mahindra 6500 2WD W/275 Loader
Model Year: 2006

All I could ask for. It went back to the dealer right away because I couldn't get to the grease zerk for the front axle pivot. They turned the bracket over. Also the braided fuel line from the tank to the filters deteriorates about every 18 mos and has to be replaced ($25). My dealer, Straub's in Salina, Ks, is absolutely great. I put 1000# of wheel weights on the rear and bought chains to handle snow. I am glad I went with the larger 2WD as opposed to a smaller 4WD as it allows me to handle some pretty large 3pt equipment with ease. I use a 6 row planter. Equipment that size is actually cheap to find around here as it is too small for real farmers and too large for most food plotters.

Pros: All I really need in a tractor and then some. Fun.
Cons: Hydro would be nice for loader work, but not absolutely necessary.

6500 4WD
Model Year: 2007

Hard to beat the tractor in its class at any price. In six years I am still surprised at how strong it is. Always reliable.

Pros: Cost/value/strength.
Cons: none.

Light has gone out does this mean heater not working? I like this tractor and it works great. I have a ml260 on this tractor and it is very handy.
