kubota or mahindra

[AchingBack]

I own a Kubota Grand L with cab which is great tractor to date. I also own a Mahindra basic no frill tractor but there is nothing crude about it. It works great and has for many years. As a matter of fact, the the FEL joystick is smoother on the 田rude Mahindra than the Kubota that I paid much more for.

Indeed, the 2615 is top notch, as all of the old 15, and 16 series are. For years the same tractor was sold by Cub Cadet. Mitsubishi built are extremely reliable, simple to operate, built stronger than most in its class.

From Mahindra's website:

For the financial year ended March 31, 2019 (F-19), the total tractor sales (domestic + exports) were at*3,30,436*units as against*3,19,623*units in F-18. The domestic sales in F-19 were at*3,16,742*units, as against*3,04,019*units for the same period last year.

So, of 330,436 sales, 316,742 were in India. That leaves roughly 14,000 for the rest of the world.

Kubota seems to report everything in monetary and percentage terms, but I'd venture to say they sell more than 14,000 tractors a year just in the US. Like someone said above, when a country of 1.3B people buy 316k machines, that's a ratio of 79/325,000. That means 85k machines need to be sold in the US for that ratio to hold true, and that's simply not happening with Mahindra. They obviously have a monopoly in India, most likely due to their cheaper cost and availability in their local market.

Well, I don't buy anything new. I couldn't find a used mahindra when I bought my MX5100 HST and I couldn't find a 100 hp Mahindra when I bought my McCormick.

You can find a many kubotas for sale, cheap on every street corner around here.. Seems people buy them, put 200-300 hrs on them then, get rid them. There are several newly used low HR M90-M105 kubotas around here for sale. I chose a McCormick over these so called quality kubotas


The poor OP can't even get an honest question answered due to Orange Kool -Aid drinkers such as yourself.

Remember.. Mahindra is the best selling tractor in the WORLD ! Not your kubota. I know it's hard,but try to Let that sink in

A use mahindra is difficult to locate around here

Yeah... IN THE THIRD WORLD...:laughing:

If you told me that more peoplecook their evening meal by burning dung, than use an Electric range, I don't think that would make me want to change my lifestyle anytime soon. lol

Nobody cares what the number one selling tractor in the world is. Considering the majority of it is India that痴 really taking it out of context to make them appear better. There痴 more tractors in India than anywhere else and quality wasn稚 the priority. It should be easy to locate a used one if there are so many.. Your loader comment I wouldn稚 accuse the guy of being a liar but his experience definitely isn稚 the norm. You can trash them all you want but there痴 no Mahindra on the same level as a Kubota GrandL. The lesser L series, the M series and the older ones aren稚 the same thing as a GrandL so don稚 bother making that comparison.

I didn’t say my Mahindra is on the same level as my Kubota Grand L but the little Mahindra has been a great tractor and is no way crude. I just don’t understand bashing a particular brand. If someone is happy with their tractor regardless of brand who cares. Happy tractoring.

Indeed they are fine tractors and in no way crude.

Well that was the point of the thread. Kubota Grand L vs Mahindra.

Their Evil plan would be revealed if they gave a discount. So I guess they forgo those few cash sales they might loose. I bought a battery in a very comptitive marketplace and then at the end of the day, the guy didn't care that I put it on CC. Makes no sense financially. I ALMOST felt like asking for a cash discount if the three or whatever percent didn't matter to him. An asian business person, I found tends to be more astute in that regard.

I get a 2% discount on EVERYTHING I buy with a credit card.
Except ......5% on gas, groceries, and drug store purchases.
I NEVER pay cash!

This is the place Mahindra sells all their units. Like I said before, I'm not hip on anything made in India.

I have owned a Case about 44 hp, I currently own a M6800 Kubota, a Kubota B2710 and a JD 5525. Never had any issue with the Case in the3 or 4 years owned it. No issue with the B2710 in the 10 plus years have owned it. The almost 5 years of the JD have had to replace a low temp sensor cost less than $100. Brake lights not working, think brake switch. Will take care of when have time. The Kubota M6800, transmission issue twice with one gear failure and one bearing failure. The bearing failure was probably due to low hyd oil due to leak on an implement. I would buy each one again if had same needs I did when I bought those.

My concern with Mahrinda is very simple, none of their dealerships have lasted three years in my general area. No doubt there are some out there who are a few years old.
On JD have no idea on that size tractor but my 5525 is a solid tractor.

One piece of advice will give any one. Buy the tractor you like and it will give you great service for you will not nickpick it and will be willing to tolerant small issues.
