Comparison Mahindra 6065 vs. Massey 4707 vs. Kubota M6060

[Bigpuddie]

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?

Its put together in Maryland after it comes off the ship ( wheels, loader, cab, options, etc) most of it is assembled in China at Agco's own plant. But components are built worldwide. The fit and finish is superb.

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.

Wow, your motor went in under 100 hours. They're fixing it under warranty as they should but if it was me I'd look around a little more to get all the options on a replacement tractor. You haven't listed Case Farmall 65 or 75, NH Powerstar 65 or 75, Rural King RK75, Branson 7845 or 8050, or Kioti RX6620 or RX7320. Might be worth checking a few more options out...

OP is in Florida, so many dealer options should be available. Believe that NH is well represented even if Case is not?

I would take a chance on Zetor, good looking tractor, very nice specifications, US Headquarters in Jacksonville.

I saw he said he was in Florida. Google Maps lists 14 NH Dealerships in FL. 7 RK Tractor stores. 5 Kioti dealerships in FL with 3 nearby in GA. So many possibilities.

What prompted my searching was that dang clutch in my 2555 Mahindra and to get more ground clearance. We have been clearing land and I have had some issues pushing stuff over, crossing wetlands and brush/limbs getting jambed up under tractor into linkages, floor, etc. I figured more ground clearance and heavier weight and power shutttle would help.

Data TAg on Massey read"Made in China"

Armoring the underside of a tractor with 8 gauge or 9 gauge expanded steel is a pretty easy project. Mostly requires bolts, nuts and large diameter fender washers. You may need to weld on two or three tabs, depending on the tractor.

Operationally, never change from forward to reverse in jungle, nor the opposite. A change in direction in jungle jams verdure into the underside.

I like my power shuttle and you would too...
You need to get on and sit in any of the tractors you are considering to get a feel for the size differences, controls, layout, etc...
If you are in wooded areas a cab may be a liability...
IMHO in Florida you need it for the comfort...
My personal preference in that size tractor is NH/Case...Kubota....Massey...
To me it's like 1A...1a...1b...
All are good...
Support after the sale is paramount...
If I had an engine replaced after 100 hours under warranty with Mahindra or any other brand that would sour me on that specific brand...
Good luck and keep us in the loop...

Exactly! I decided that whichever tractor comes back is going to my shop first for some armor.

I went and sat in all three, they all have their strong points that I like and some things I don't like.
