Mahindra 2655 hst cab vs Kioti nx5510hc.

That’s the thing you have to be comfortable in the seat if not you’ll never be happy with it. It sounds like you really like the kioti and I don’t think you can go wrong either way as long as your not like a pretzel trying to drive.

If you like the Kioti, why not get the Kioti? I did. Kioti's are good tough tractors with a lot of good features at a good price.

Even my little tractor has tilt steering wheel. They have good ergonomics overall.

I don't have a dog in the fight but seems there are a lot of negatives about Mahindra;I do know someone that has purchased four Kioti tractors(contractor) TLB's and he is about as fussy as I know so if he is happy they must be decent.

If I go with the Kioti my implements are too narrow. If I decided to go that way then I would have to look at the Mahindra 3550 which is a beautiful tractor but I think more money. The specs on the mahindra 2655 are better for the loader. I hire out with the tractor so lift is important. The 2655 is just narrow enough my implements would work. One thing I did notice on the spec sheet is that the Kioti has 2 inches more ground clearance and is about 6 inches shorter up top. That is a plus in the woods. Wish I hated my mahindra dealer

Maybe you could learn to love your Kioti dealer too. "if you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with".

lol. I like it. I just got back from a quick test drive of a nx6010hc and really liked it. I will be back at the show tomorrow for more pricing now that I have driven one. Got a price of 35,500 minus 17500 for my 2538. Tomorrow I look closer at all brands as I may move away from Mahindra. I had to drive an hour to this Kioti dealer but it is what it is. Monday sounds like a good day to make an appt. for a final test drive of whatever it is. I really do not want to wait for Mahindra to redesign me a tractor

Look, if one tractor fits you and another doesn't, you don't owe anything to a particular paint color. If you believe the other dealer will support you like you need to be supported, then I say go for it. Just as I would say if the red tractor fit you and you liked the dealer, then you should go for that. My Korean tractor has worked well for me now for about 6 years, and I came out of a Kubota into this Korean shade of orange.

I got it for $19,200 with the canopy and a good trade in on my Kubota. More lift, on the FEL and way more useful features. Like telescoping lower links, telescoping side sway bars, Rear 3pt lever for hooking up, a rear hydraulic hookup standard, and a 2nd one available for small dollars. Twin Touch hydro pedals. Easily reachable SCV lever, Tilt steering wheel, Cruise control, Electric/hydraulic 4wd control and Electric/hydraulic PTO control Fully adjustable suspension seat. All of these things make operation much easier.

Now if my implements were wider......

Now if my implements were wider......

I kept mine from my little B7500 on to the L3400 and now my Kioti DK35se. I just used them anyway. I had to get another onger drive shaft for my little rotary cutter, but it still works, It is just that I could run a much wider one, but for no more brush cutting I do, it works fine. I still use my 5ft rear blade too.
