Buying Advice Buying Mahindra 3016 - need help with the small details

[skdavis100]

I am new to tractors and am probably going with the Mahindra 3016. What are all of the small details that I need to think / ask the dealer for? For example, I have heard people discuss welding hooks on the loader. I have also heard that asking the dealer to fill tires with water/antifreeze when buying is good idea as they will "throw this in" I have 14 acres with small field, woods, garden and gravel road and am looking at package of 3016, FEL, box blade, bush hog and trailer. Looking for a list of the things to make sure I ask for / don't miss. Thanks in advance for the help.

You might want to be sure that you get a skid steer quick attack loader.

You may decide that you would like to have a grapple or a set of loader forks in the future. It sure is easy to change these attachments when you already have the skid steer quick attack with the loader.

You might want to consider a canopy.

Check on a rear remote, but they are usually pretty pricey.

Grab hooks on the bucket are a good idea, be sure that they put an angle across the bucket first though.

Your tractor will be a lot more capable with the tires filled.

Good luck.
