Can you elaborate on what specifically to compare to Mahindra loader v Kioti? Those are the two tractors in looking at.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I sure hope everyone operating a loader knows to lower the loader if the tractor starts to tip to avoid roll over. Lifting on a slope contributes to tipping as does low air pressure in the tires. Dropping the fel in this situation needs to be second nature.By the time the front axle oscillates enough to stop rollover the operator will have already abandoned any and all progress and simply be riding out the pending crash!!!!!

Much will depend on the models you are looking at, to make sure we are comparing apples to apples, but when I was shopping around I noticed how thin the steel was on the loader for the Mahindra 4550. Especially where the tilt cylinders pin in. The "knock test" also sounded very thin. I don't like the loader control stick mounted to the loader, personal pref. I didn't like much of the wiring routing, in exposed places, and seemed to be an afterthought. We can compare numbers in excel sheets until next winter, but I've noticed that Mfgs who boast having the largest numbers, or make scathing unfair comparison videos, are often the worst to own. I'm looking at you green & yellow. There is no doubt that Mahindra makes fine machines too, seeing how they are one of the largest tractor sellers in the world. I just liked Kioti better for my application.
I shouldn't be rambling in this particular thread about this topic though, I would suggest starting up a new thread asking about the specific model Kioti and Mahindra you are looking at. Post one on the Mahindra forum, and one here on the kioti forum. Buying a tractor is a big deal, and can be a lot of fun if you know what you are looking for.
