Buying Advice I pulled the trigger!

[Williy]

I have a Yanmar same company that made JD tractors for over 20 years YT235C 110 hours and so far no problems.
DON'T FORGET TO RUN YOUR A/C UNITS FOR
15 OR 20 MINUTES A MONTH TO KEEP THE SEALS LUBRICATED TO KEEP FROM HAVING
A/C PROBLEMS!

Happy New Year Y'all

I'm about thisssss close to pulling the trigger on a 6065. How has it been for you?? It's it entirely overkill for me, but the price is great and I certainly won't need to upgrade for a while, if ever. I had such buyer remorse with my 3025E, I figured go big or go home
Also, how is it on fuel?

My 6065 has been nothing short of perfect. It’s solid as hell and a beast. I‘m very happy with the size, not too big at all. I use my tractor for a lot of things on this land. Hauling flagstone, bush hogging, lawn grooming, land clearing, ditch digging, pipe laying, you name it. The shuttle shift has been excellent. Zero problems to date. If it were stolen I would replace it with the exact same one. Doesn’t seem to “drink” fuel like some folks have mentioned on their brand of tractors.

For me, the Utility sized tractors are most productive. And I'm Blessed to have two. A 47hp and a 95hp.

I'd wait until their new "K-Line" is introduced. They may carry a Mitsubishi engine or at least some will.

K-Line?

K-Line?

Yup. That's what they gave the dealers as a name. What they end up calling it is anyone's guess.
It is their newest factory built in India with Mitsubishi partnership in engineering, finance and market development.
No more partnership with TYM which builds their 2500/2600 series.
All series will now have Mitsubishi holdings and will include 37 models from sub compacts to large utility tractors.

No word Bear.
You have a great tractor as is and that's my word. I am not thinking you'll need anything else for a long, long time.
Mahindra has iced many of its good lines such as the 35/3600 and 4100 series.
The Mahindra 4110 for instance (Tym) had such a smooth engine and a very easy tractor to use. But now these two companies hate each other.
I am thinking this new line will usurp many of their previous lines.
Mitsubishi is an exemplary company to hook up with so that's a very big part of good news.

Hearing that, I'm excited to see where Mahindra is going!

my understanding is that the 5100 series is all Mahindra (well mostly) and as such i would expect it to stay

Even if it doesn't, you'll still have parts. The tractor is just too good and is a relatively new line. They may call it something else or offer a Mitsu engine in the new ones but it is too substantial a tractor to be kicked to the curb.
It is a good platform even for the new asscociation.
