Comparison Mahindra 6065 vs. Massey 4707 vs. Kubota M6060

[TCB66]

Hello, we are selling or trading our Mahindra 2555 Shuttle Cab and going a little larger. In our area there are three choices based on nearby dealers.
The Mahindra 6065 Cab Made entirely in India
The Agco Massey 4707 Cab Made entirely in China
& The Kubota M6060 Cab made in Japan and final assembled in the U.S.A.

I've kinda given up on the Massey, it's more money than the other 2 and why would I choose that over the Kubota? Is there something I missed?

The Kubota is a little more money but the dealership is a lot closer. I like the fact that the Kubota might be worth more used, Not as tall for better tree clearance, can be had with wide radial tires and has 4 cylinders. And there is the DPF.

The Mahindra is less money, I'm not sure this carries to resale as they have offered me $25K for my 2015 2555 Shuttle cab w 100 hours and a brand new engine and two years of warranty left. It has has no DPF, weighs 2000 lbs. more and the exhaust is firmly mounted to the cab. It is over a foot taller. I know three cyclinders is fine and I have three cylinders now, but still wierd to me.

What are your thoughts on these tractors from an ownership perspective? Thanks

:welcome:
To TBN TCB.

Lucky you, getting to trade up after only 100 hours. Sign me as jealous. :thumbsup:

Having a good local dealer is a great asset and the higher resale value of the Kubota is like money in the bank.

Good morning TCB and welcome to TBN and the forum. I've only had experience with Kubota. Bought my M6040 brand new in 2009. Been an excellent tractor, no problems - some times I wish I had a cab unit but never in the summer. It just too nice out in the fresh air and not being in a cabbed hot house. If I want time in a big tractor, a glassed in hot house & air conditioning - I can go help my neighbor with his chores and operate one of his big Case IH tractors.

Tired of that clutch, clearing land. Figured while I was getting rid of clutch it's not that much more to move up. Turbo blew at 90 hours, Mains & rod bearings at 95 hours. Mahindra putting brand new engine in under warranty, gave me a loaner and offered financial trade assistance.

We live in Florida so the A/C cab is real nice!

I shopped all these models and ended up with the Massey Ferguson 4707. For me, the price was actually cheaper than the Mahindra and the M7060. The M6060 isn't even comparable with it only having 60 hp and a 8 spd. The Massey is not all made in China; it's a global tractor with an engine designed in Finland, Norwegian tires, Italian transmission, US built Loader, and is final assembled in Aberdeen, Md. It is 3,000 pounds heavier than a Kubota. It also has no emissions maintenance, no DPF or regen. The 3 point lift capacity is 1500 pounds more than Kubota as well and Hydraulic capacity is much higher. The cab is huge and has a buddy seat, tilt and telescopic wheel, and great ergonomics. It comes standard with 2 remotes, and radial tires. It's an awesome machine. With loader, 84 inch bucket, Deluxe cab, 3rd function remote and air seat it can be bought for $44500 in Pa.

The Mahindra is a decent tractor but lacks refinement and does not have a good resale value.

Kubota is a great machine but is very lightweight and has DPF and regens. You need to add alot of options to get it nice (add remotes, rear wiper, radial tires, weights, 12 spd transmission, etc which gets the price of a m7060 up to $47k or so.

Happy shopping

I have an L3560, smallest of the Grand Ls and my third tractor. Fabulous tractors with HST/PLUS being the best single feature.

Just curious what you're doing with the tractor since the models you listed aren't really the same size / capacity?

The Grand L is a nice tractor, but not even close to the Utility models he is considering. The L is a Compact Utility.

Jeffy,
Not sure the 3560 is in the same league as the OP options. Perhaps just demonstrating big tractor envy or something similar in behavior? How is this little kubota relative to the thread?

Was under the impression the massey was assembled in china, BP, you sure about US Assembly??
The massey could perform row crop tasks, the M Kubota referenced, strictly light duty utility tractor at best. The L kubota a toy in comparison.


Thought I saw a recent thread on TBN wherin a new owner had a boatload of issues w/ a new mahindra 6065?
