kubota or mahindra

Most of which is in India. The numbers from your country would be way more relevant.

I was replying to (nards444) comment about owning 75% of the tractor mkt as he did not specify where. I agree about market share % here in the USA but the article I read did not specify in percentage of each country.

You got any numbers of how many Mahindra tractors sold in India vs US ?

Who cares about numbers ? LOL someone made the comment (''The Kubota engines are so junk they dominate the small diesel industry''.) LOL

Mahindra's largest consumer base is in India, China, North America, and a growing market in Australia. The company is the largest manufacturer in India and has the capacity to build 150,000 tractors a year. M&M produced its first tractor in 1963, the Mahindra B-275.

Kubota doesn't even own the market in their home country

I don’t know what Mahindra ever did for you to take up for them. Kubota diesels are among the best there is. Japanese make the best Diesel engine in the world. Dominating their industry and selling the most in India is a completely different unit of measurement.

Having been to all these countries in question I'm not real hip on buying anything from India. Japan and S. Korea I would. As far as engines go, Cat, Cummins, JCB, Yanmar, Kubota are the big 5 in the tractor and construction equipment markets. Yanmar makes more than Kubota by quite a bit.

They haven't done anything for me, or against me.
What has Mahindra done to you to make you dislike them so much ?

In a previous post you stated (''The Kubota engines are so junk they dominate the small diesel industry'')
Now, It's changed to just the Japanese. Make up your mind ! LOL

As I have already stated. I own two kubotas. I just don't drink the Kool-Aid

I have a perkins in my McCormick. It's one of the best (if not the best) diesels anywhere bar none

I hate to break the news to ya. But, Not many Kubotas out there in the big farming world


I'm for any brand you want to buy. I just don't buy the kubota is superior and bullet proof. Superior to any other brand
They aren't bullet proof when you have a ''brand new'' Kubota diesel bite the dust with only 2 hrs on the clock !

Any list of off-road Diesel engine manufacturers that does not mention Deere and FPT but mentions JCB is flawed. As recently as 2003 JCBs total worldwide Diesel engine production was zero.

Got any data that suggest early engine failure is an endemic Kubota problem?

I don't think it's a Mahindra thing. It happens pretty much with all brands that is not Kubota or JD.

We do have some hardcore fanboys here, specially orange ones. Whoever dares to say anything at all about a simple Kubota bolt or washer, gets smashed instantly. They all come out of nowhere.

Anyways, doesn't JCB use Perkins engines? And Kubota uses 6.7 Cummins on the new M8 series.

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

I own the Mahindra 3016 which is sort of like the 1626.(Well almost exact actually) . The 35 and the 38 are all different. I feel they are better built than the 26 series. I consider my tractor as the "Fred Flintstone" of the tractor world. Not much sophistication but it gets the job done. In my opinion the Kubota is the better built machine and not by a little bit. If the Kubota dealer I shopped at didn't have his nose in the air, I might have ended up with one. Just couldn't do business with the arrogance and attitude displayed.

Be careful with "specs". It seems there are no standards when attempting to compare. Make sure everything is being measured by similar yardsticks.

As far as specific operator needs, this also needs strong consideration. Do I like the Kubota more? You bet. Could I own the Kubota 3560? Not without another configuration of their hydraulic hoses.
I use my tractor mostly for logging. My woods are very dense. I feel I would rip those hoses off right quick for my style of logging. With trails established and winching stems to those trails, maybe not so much. These are the kind of considerations only the proposed owner can make as they know what their situations are.
