Buying Advice Mahindra 6065 4WD

[MUDONTHETIRES]

So, I'm looking at a new 6065 4WD and wanted to know your thoughts. Any reason to stay away from this model? All opinions welcome and thanks in advance! I posted this on the Mahindra page with no luck. Was wandering if anyone has any insight as to go for it or stay away.

I guess if you like the Mahindra tractor and want a bigger one I don't see a problem or do you want 2 tractors?.........

My 4530 is no longer functional, it is scrapped so the 6065 will be my only tractor.

How old was the 4530?

How old was the 4530?

also relevant imo, how'd it die.

It was a 2007. Had it serviced by a local tractor mechanic. He found two seals leaking and took off some under belly armor to try and get to the leaks. Couldn’t get to them without having it brought in to his garage (not leaking bad) so I told him I would have it delivered but wanted to bush hog first. He failed to reinstall the tow bar frame pins before he left and ten minutes into bush hogging the bar that holds the tow bar frame to the frame came out because it didn’t have the pins in. The tow bar frame flipped under the tractor then up behind the tractor hitting my pto shaft and ripping the tranny out. Mahindra dealer estimated 8K to 10K damage. Sold it at the auction for 4K to recoup some of my money. So here I am needing a tractor which is the reason for my question about the 6065.

BTW....... my first Mahindra was a
2WD and I loved everything about it. Decided to get a 4WD and had no issues with it and also loved everything about it as well. It was not the tractors fault what happened but a mechanics mistake. I’ve had great luck with Mahindra and want to go with another one.

I have 2 mahindra tractors and like them both , One has over 1100 hrs the other 360 or so with no issues, The 6065 looks to be a beast of a tractor , Keep us updated.

Sorry about the tractor. If you can make a good deal on the new one buy it..Good luck..

Thanks for the explanation, as a newer Mahindra owner, I'm happy to hear that if it didn't have an accident it would still be kicking. I've been very happy with mine.

It was in great condition other than the small leaks. That’s why I’m going with Mahindra again. Thanks for your input!

l have no experience with Mahindra. What interested you initially? And what are the features you like? Thanks.

What interested me was the total weight, lifting capabilities and reviews from other owners.

I have a 03 3510 and a 2014 8560. Both are good tractors and I am happy with them.
