kubota or mahindra

You are really a huge Orange Kool-Aid fan.. It must really chap you that Kubota doesn't sell as many tractors as Mahindra. You might want to invest in some of that chap cream. I bet you can get it in Kubota orange. And it will be better than any other brand because of the color !

They say ''Best selling tractor in the world'' No where do they mention India

There’s 1.3 billion people in India and like 350 million in the United States. Now out of those numbers how many have tractors? I don’t have that data but I think we all know which has more. Point being if every single person in the United States United States owed a Kubota they couldn’t change that number. Yes I know Kubota exports more places than the United States but they still can’t change that number. If you can put your Kubota bashing aside long enough to think logical please explain how world sales have any bearing on the quality of USA available options. Nobody asked if Kubota or Mahindra sells more tractors. If you want to come up with more useless comparisons how many motorcycles does it take to equal a dump truck?

Does anyone really doubt that Kubota is the CUT Market leader in North America?

From Rural Lifestyle Dealer - May 18, 2017:

According to UCC filings*, through the first 11 months of 2016 Kubota held a market share of nearly 47% in the tractor ranges up to 80 horsepower. Deere was a distant second with 19%.

Other than the Chinese brands, I think that any make of CUT will get the job done. I wouldn't mind owning a Mahindra, but there more than a few comments on TBN about build quality and leaks. My own observation on Mahindra dealer lots has been that some models seem to be a bit crude compared to Kubota B or Grand models. Not Belarus crude, but less than would be acceptable to me for my hard earned dollars. Some models seem to be better designed/constructed.

I think Mahindra is in the US for the long haul. Let's hope their quality and parts availability improve.

Finially, I don't think the choice is binary. Depending on size, I would also look at Kioti or Yanmar.

world sales says a lot. There are other tractor companies throughout the world. But mahindra out sells them as well. And to be such a sorry tractor at that ! LOL

Quality ? LOL I have lived the Kubota quality. I could have gotten the same options on a mahinda tractor as I have on my MX500.
Really more options for less money than Kubota. But I didn't buy new.

I don't see those on the mahindra thread crying because they didn't buy a kubota

Perhaps you can visit their forum and convince them that Kubota is superior to mahindra.
You sure have convinced yourself

I wouldn't dispute that. As I have stated. A lot of that has to do with their finance program
Go purchase a kubota for a small fee of about $400.00 and finance up to 84 months @ 0%
I don't know many (if any) other tractor manufacture that does this

So, the fact they probably sell more here, doesn't mean all other tractors are inferior to a kubota

If price and availability was equal how many US Mahindra owners would have bought a Kubota Grand instead? My guess pretty much all of them. I don’t think anyone needs convincing which is better. Price has a lot to do with decision making.

Are you seriously claiming a finance program would influence the results but a sample size of 1.3 billion vs 350 million doesn’t make any difference? Wow.

Like I said. Go to the mahindra page and try to convince them Kubota is superior to any mahindra they have

You should try a different Kool Aid brand some time. It may just be an eye opener for ya

Again, Kubota will about give you a tractor as long as you can make a payment at 0%

I don’t really care what the Mahindra owners believe. But most of them selected because of lower cost or other reasons not because they felt they were better. And of every other major us player Mahindra would be my last choice so you can bring me whatever flavor koolaid you want. If I couldn’t have a Grand L my next choice would be Kioti. But I really don’t care about compact tractors anyway. If you’re giving away free equipment I’ll take a KX80 excavator and 95-2 CTL. But if that’s too much to ask I don’t have anything against yellow Deere.

Here's one that does 0% interest.
