I can't believe how many people either didn't listen to the whole thing or didn't read the intro. I KNOW it is an old Kubota. Barely nothing has changed. The driveline is still like a lawnmower. The steering is still out front in harms way. The 3 pt links are still inverted and hard to use. The drawbar is still not a real drawbar. The sheetmetal however is new and they finally added an RPM guage. Whoop de doo! Do any of the aesthetics that changed help the tractor perform better or make it a better value? The Kubota video dogged the Max because they said it was cheap. All my video did was dispute the false claims. Y'all get a grip and realize that the Kubota video was SLANTED. I just showed off how wrong it was
The thing that is laughable about you Dandy, is that you genuinely believe your own BS. MANY people have pointed out the SIGNIFICANT changes between the Kubota in your video and the 2013 version. Just because you choose to ignore it does not make that fact any less glaring. It's devastating to your claims, so you just ignore it. Fine what ever.
But let's get back to the FACT that even if you had used a 2013 version of the Kubota, you would still be comparing apples to oranges. The Max 25 does not compare to to the Bota, JD or Massey SCUT's directly, ironically for many of the reasons you flame about. Tell us all why the MAX should not be compared to the B series Kubota tractors? Or JD's 1026? Or Massey's 2012 MF1526/28? I am sure there are excuses a plenty. But nobody cares, because they are just excuses. There has been Threads all over the internet waging war on what the MAX 22-25's really are, "SCUT or CUT". And they all boil down to the same dang thing. It simply does not matter what Mahindra wants to call their tractors. It's irrelevant. The only thing that really matters is that each of Mahindra's competitors indeed make tractors that are far more comparable. Fine whatever.
But how about this notion that everyone else's SCTUTS are really just "Lawn Mowers". Says Who? You Dandy? And you are some kind of authority because why? Only a blithering Idiot would compare a Garden Tractor, or a Lawn Mower to at SCUT. Well, actually Mahindra does, but that's beside the point. SCUT's originally came about to BE much more then just a Lawn mower. Are they built exactly like full sized tractors? **** NO!, and they don't need to be either. In fact, since the introduction of the SCUT class by Bota YEARS ago, they have been hugely popular. By in large, you don't hear negative feedback about them,,, no boo hooing because they don't live up to expectations. Most people are thoroughly impressed by the utility of these SCUT sized machines. But along comes Mahindra with their new MAX, and all of a sudden we are all supposed to jump on board with the notion that things like the BX and GC SCUT's are really just glorified lawn mowers? I don't think so masta Don. Even I can't say fine what ever on this issue.
Why do you keep blathering on about the draw bar on the MAX? Can you answer me that? Because here is the thing that blows me away. Up until Mahindra made this some kind of a tag line, NOBODY found the draw hitch, what ever you want to call it, to be inadequate on any of the SCUT's out there. What, exactly do you want to pull with the current line up of SCUT's that can not be accomplished with the "Wimpy" setup that has been in use for more then a decade? Who is out there pulling full hay wagons with their SCUT? This is just the stupidest thing I have ever heard of, to make the draw bar some kind of issue. It's just,,,,, not an issue. So the MAX has a more substantial draw bar. BIG DEAL, so does every other CUT on the market. Your point is? Oh yea, your point is that your CUT is not a SCUT. By the way, I don't see any of the other SCUT''s using a MMM height adjustment scheme from the neolithic period like Mahindra either, and thank GOD for that.
You have not at all made your argument. And you sure as heck have not rallied a ton of support for your cause. Sub Compact Utility Tractors are not supposed to be COMPACT UTILITY TRACTORS. Otherwise, they freakin would be. They are exactly what they were designed to be. And just because Mahindra designed an under powered, Tiny CUT, does not mean they get to redefine what a SCUT is. And Mahindra also does not get to simply ignore that the competition has been building SIMILAR CUT's for freakin years. You are seriously going to rail about how "Slanted" the Kubota video is? Does your hipocrisy know no limits? Honestly, you would have done sooooooo much better just to let this "Slight" go and continue selling your product on its real merits. It does have some you know. But as another poster already said, I think you are just super butt hurt that the competition continues to out sell your product. You are NOT doing your product any favors fighting this battle. I would not buy a Mahindra now if you wanted to give me one, not just because I am generally not in love with the tractor, but primarily because the people behind the tractor are completely unreliable and misguided. No way would I spend 20+ thousand dollars after this display.
