Around $18,500 with R4 tires in this area of NY, this price is 8 months old - steel prices have gone up since. could effect the price upward. It is a good and solid tractor -"if" and when I need a bigger Second tractor in the future I will look to Mahindra first because of the performance of the 4110 I own now.

Yes, 12 x 12 tranny
Pros : It has done everything I needed it for. Post holes, manure handling/spreading, removing a hill from side of house and filling in a pond with the dirt, pushing over small trees (up to 8") , dragging logs for firewood. the tractor starts every day and the company & dealer back their product.
Cons : Some think it is a "Minor" brand, don't know about resale because I don't intend to sell, I have a habit of keeping things forever. but if the tractor new starts out 2-3 thousand cheaper than the big three then the used price should be slightly cheaper.
I have 435 hrs, its turning two in Jan. 05 with the warranty
up and I do not fear this because it is a quality tractor.
Like 95% tractors sold today, major parts or whole tractor are Foreign made ( That includes John Deere)

I paid around $18600 with Industrial tires. My loader had the standard bucket. It is extra to get one with skid steer compatible quick detatch ( around $600-800, I think ). I will be trading in my standard bucket for the quick detach type in about a week. If you think you will want pallet forks, or a seperate grapple bucket this is probably money well spent.
I was talking to the dealer yesterday, He said he had just sold the last of 7 4110's he ordered this fall. It was only on his lot 30 days. He's sold 49 tractors in the past wo years. The last two were delivered to buyers over 45 minutes away.
RONNY- Where in CNY are you? I am on the northern border with Canada. a little southeast of Cornwall. I bought mine from the dealer in Brushton NY

mboulais, I notice you have a Massey three bottom plow. What size is it, and how hard is it to plow using it with the Mahindra 4110? We have heavy clay soil, and I figured to match up a two bottom 14" if I go with the Mahindra.
So far the biggest complaint I have seen with this machine appears to center around the loader hydraulics being a bit slow. Does this tractor use a separate pump for the FEL, or is it plumbed to the tractor's hydraulics?

I haven't used them yet. I bought just a week before the frost started to settle in. I've had the tractor since May and I have no doubt I will be able to pull them easily. I have owned two antique tractors and drove two others growing up, The 4110 has alot of power compared to those. My plows are relalatively small. Each moldboard is only about 11" or 12" deep so they should pull easy. I don't think I'll even need four wheel drive. My soil is clay also with plenty of stones. I think a 14" two bottom would be easy to pull. As far as the slow hydraulics goes, I think people expect too much. If you want faster hydraulics the 4500 might give you what your looking for. I noticed on the spec sheet it doesn't use a seperate power steering pump. They put a larger hydraulic pump on the tractor and it does both. The 4110 uses a 7.8 gpm hyd. pump and a 3.8 or so steering pump. the 4500 uses a 11.5 gpm pump. as long as you are not lifting the bucket and turning at the same time you should be able to get more oil to the valve than it can pass to the loader. If you are turning, I would bet you still get more than 7 gpm to the loader. I am not dissapointed in the tractor in any way though.

I was kind of surprised when looking at the specs for the 4110 and the comparable models of other manufacturers. The Mahindra is heavier, and has a greater lift capacity for its 3pt hitch than others, and has some features that others do not have in its class and price range, like the synchro shuttle transmission and independent PTO.
I also like the specs on the Mahindra 4500, and wouldn't mind upgrading to that level of a machine, if it isn't too pricey.

Keith B -
Are you running a full time farm, or is it more for land upkeep/part time farming? I only have twenty acres, one horse, one goat, and some chickens. My decision was between the 3510 and 4110. I never looked at the 4500 specs until last week. I bought My tractor 7 months ago to replace an old international I had for a year. I do brush hogging , fence maintenance and hopefully I will be growing pumpkins to sell locally next year. I don't see much need for the larger 3pt lift capacity. If you are using ground engaging equipment that wieghs that much, I would guess you would want more hp.

mboulais, we have about 75 acres on the farm, most of which is hilly, to downright steep; thus my desire for the MFWD. Most of the tillage type of work would just be for gardening type stuff, no big jobs. The heaviest work would be handling round bails that I feed to our horses.
The horses are my primary farming endeavor.
I really pay attention to the lift capacities as it tells a lot about the strength of the hydraulics system. I will be using a 6 foot bush hog, 6 foot disk, a fertilizer spreader with about an 800 lb capacity, etc. These are well within the limits of most CUTs of the 40 hp size; but the Mahindra 4110's specs put them well within the limits. I also will be using a bail spear on the back, as well as using the loader spear.
Currently I am using my father-in-law's 4000 Ford for these tasks, but it is not as nimble as the MFWDs on the hills for bush hogging. It has no loader for helping to clean out the barns, and it really is just about too big for those chores if it did have a loader attached. Because of the size factor in working in the barn hallways the larger CUTs are the smallest sized utilities are mainly what I am looking at. Right now the muffler needs to be taken out to push out the shed where I feed my horses in the pasture their grain. The makes for a lot of diesel fumes, and I want to avoid doing that in the future.
I plan to put up new fence all the way around the farm next summer, so the independent PTO is going to be handy for use with a PHD, and something I consider a must over the transmission driven PTOs on some of the CUTs.
There is a NH square bailer that is used on the farm for hay, but the Ford 4000 is here for that. The tractor I get may be used for raking and mowing hay with a sickle bar mower. The 4110 should be well up to these tasks as there have been much smaller tractors used for those tasks in the past in this area, like an Allis Chalmers B, Farmall Super A, etc. It doesn't take a lot of hp or size to rake hay or mow with the sickle bar mowing machines.
Price will play a big role in my ultimate decision. There is a Kioti dealer about 2 hours away that has a price of $19,400 on their DK45 w/FEL. I am hoping that more local dealers will be able to top the prices on the Mahindras. I really want to stay under that $20,000 mark. There have been some dealers crop up locally who sell the McCormicks, but I have yet to get a price on them, but would definitely consider them as the fit and finish look pretty good.

I think you're gonna be pushing it. The old way of calculating "plowability" is approx 1" of plow for every available HP. If you have 35HP at the drawbar you can pull up to 35" of plow. I have a feeling those are 14" plows on your 3 bottom. Don't remember ever seeing 3--12" bottoms on one. Now, especially if you have clay soil deduct some pull. I hope the 4110 will pull it but count on using all 4 wheels to pull it. PS you got fluid in the rear tires?? If not I think you can forget it.....Just my $.02 worth from someone that has plowed more acres than I'd like to recount. BobG in VA

Steve, what kind of current prices do you have, and what kind of price will it be after the first of the year?

I just went out measured them, they are 12" plows. Yes the rear tires are loaded. I personally don't think anyone should own a tractor with FEL without loaded tires. If there wasn't any frost in the ground I would plow a couple of furrows just to prove it. I'm kind of stubborn and competetive.

Did you measure from top to bottom of the moldboard or across the beams?? I noted above that you said they were "...12 inches deep". Remember, plows are measured across the beam; or from the outside of one beam (thing that holds the plow in position) to the inside of the next one. If that is 12", I gladly conceed. As you may note, I'm somewhat competitive myself. BobG in VA wouldn't try pulling a 4 bottom plow with his 6000 4WD but do believe it will pull a 3 bottom quite well in VA clay.

Two and three bottom 12" plows used to be pretty popular. The old tractors with low horsepower, but loads of compression, torque & weight, would pull two and three bottoms easily with an under 40hp engine. The only thing I can see stopping the 4110 from plowing with your plows would be not getting adequate traction due to weight. The MFWD should help in that respect.
