Mahindra 4505-DI

[Lickskillet]

Has anyone had or operated a Mahindra 4505-DI with loader. I am looking to buy a 99 model with under 300 hours. I like the newer models but the price is right on this one. Any thoughts or things I should look out for? I'm ready to trade in my trusty Ford NAA. Thanks, from a new member.

Sorry, never used a 4505, but I would suggest that you check the price of a new Mahindra. If the price is right, it is probably a good deal, but look at a new unit. The cost may not be that much more, 0% finance, and a new unit. Just a suggestion. Also, take the tractor to a Mahindra dealer and have it checked out, unless of course you are buying it from a dealer. If so, then aske the right questions.

Thanks, Slippy
I have looked at the new units, great deals on financing! But this tractor has loader and very low hours for $8000. I don't know if I can get a better deal than that. I am interested more in the reliability and history of this model. (made only 2-3 years before changing to the new models). Is it basically the same as the new body 4500? If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

No,the new "00" models are all new from the ground up.

The older ones and the new C series are from the IH licensee designs.
