kubota or mahindra

[nrosario]

Trying to decide on new tractor got it down to two I think kubota grand 3560 or mahindra 1635hst no cabs/with a loader only on either tractor,,always had kubotas but I am not sure on the DPF on the kubotas anyone with pros and cons of each thanks

As other have mentioned, these two are totally different machines, that could overlap in terms of functionality.
The Kubota is a Grand L with more features and creature comfort.
The Mahindra is a Mitsubishi made that offers a decent package, but will never be at the same level as the 3560.

If you are willing to pay more for better features and release value, then go with the Kubota.
Also parts availability will be better with Kubota.
Is that not you can't get parts with Mahindra but the reality is that if you need anything beyond regular maintenance items then you will have to "wait" and "wait" then wait some more.

Take your time, try both tractors and make sure you make an informed decision.

Mahindra was on my list the last time I shopped. I was looking for a cabbed tractor and didn't fit into theirs. The salesman wanted to have their shop modify the seat but I declined.

The one option on the Grand L60 series that I didn't realizew I would use the most is the HST+ transmission. The cruise control is nice, the swivel seat, and such are all nice, but the HST+ transmission is what makes a difference for me. I'm able to accomplish most of my task in Medium gear using the high/low setting of the HST+ transmission.

I shopped both this spring. Mahindra was a good machine. But depending on models you my as well buy a TYM and save the money as TYM makes some of their machines. What I found was this, once everything was put on the invoice between the two, the price point was about the same. Kubota was a tad more but came with more. But I also factored finding parts, reputation, build quality etc, and this is not to say I wouldnt buy a mahindra I would, but to say a Mahindra is as good or better than a bota just isnt true. Dont fall into mahindra doesnt have a a DPF gimick.

As I stated before I have always had kubotas my first was a 1977 l210.. my biggest concern with the 3560 ( beside the regen) would be all the electronics such as throttle advance hst response mode etc. but I guess a guy gets spoiled with creature comforts

Is this going to be like Ford/GM/Dodge in every other site on the net?

I believe that has to do with the total units sold and emissions credits. Kioti went down the same road but has used them up so now Kioti has the be in compliance. least I think that is how it plays.

Gold standard is Kubota they are the Toyota of tractors

They sure are. They are the light weights, just like a toyota

I own two Kubotas. One new that the engine went south with about 2 hrs on the meter
The other Kubota, bought used mx 5100 no emissions, and no issues, but it is a light weight..
The Kubota being a light weight is the reason for buying the McCormick CX 105

As far as toyota.. My toyota uses a qt of oil every 2500 miles. Toyota says that's normal ! LOL
