I still have my '09 CK27 Kioti. Still runs good.
But, a guy on a car forum I'm on is lookin to buy a new compact, in the just under 30hp class.
So, I got to thinkin about what I'd buy, if I decide to buy a new one. Right now, it's between a Kubota, a Mahindra, & a JD, in the models that are about 25hp.
From what little I've read, the Mahindra seems to be the cheapest & has the 7-year warranty. So, assuming a guy has a nearby dealer with good service for each brand, what are the advantages & disadvantages of each brand.
Please don't just post that you have a certain brand, so that's the only brand you'd buy. I'd really like some pros & cons for each brand. Remember, I'm talkin about a compact, NOT a sub-compact, or a heavier model with 30 or more hp.
It'll be used for maintaining a 1/2 mile dirt/gravel road, bush hoggin about 10 acres, and moving trees that fall across horse riding trails thru the woods. So, I'm talkin 4WD, Ind tires, shuttle shift, front end loader, & a 5' bush hog.
Thanks to those who will take the time to give their honest opinions of all 3 of the brands, in a model that fits this description !
