Kubota or mahindra

You may wind up buying the one you can get your hands on. This is especially true if you're looking at a specific model. Dealer inventory is at an all time low and order times are 8 months or more in many locations.

0% interest is a scam. It’s built into the price virtually all the time

Maybe, but the price difference for paying cash is insignificant, so you may as well take the 0% interest.

And then pay $1500-$3000 more for your tractor 0% is a scam..

That's what I found as well....the difference was insignificant. Talking finance with my dealer, he said the reason that paying cash made no difference to him is because he doesn't have to hold the 0% note. Kubota Corporate always buys the note from him for cash - usually on the same day but always by the next day.

He had no idea why Kubota Corporate had that policy and was not privy to how Kubota Corporation ran their finances. But since it was their invariable policy to buy any 0% notes he generated, a cash transaction simply made no difference to him at the dealer level.

I think he kind of wished that cash did make a difference. My feeling is that the Corporate 0% policy took some of the bargaining fun out of transactions, and he missed that.
I miss it too.

When I purchased My 2021 Kubota RTV 1100c last winter there was a $400 rebate for paying cash verses financing.I hate monthly payments.

If you're buying a new Mahindra, double check the warranty before you close the deal. From what I heard Mahindra will reduce their warranty if you're using your machine for any commercial purposes. Not sure if that's still true but you should probably check the fine print or ask the dealer.

Ask the dealer if the particular model is built by Mahindra (India) , or TYM (South Korea)

I was going to say the same thing, the Mahindra might actually be a TYM. In the USA if you are open to Mahindra that might actually be a TYM, then that means you could also consider RK (Rural King) tractors too.

If you need service on a Rural King tractor do you take it back to the store you purchased from?Just curious?

For media fairness-I own a 2007 New Holland.....have spent less than $10 on a repair part (seat cushion rubber bumper pad)...

The New Hollands from that era were good. They are not good anymore due to LS manufacturing them.
