Mahindra 7520 4WD Vs. Kubota

[fish_wisperer]

I am having a tough time deciding between a Mahindra 7520 4WD and a comparable Kubota M7040 4WD or M8540 4WD.

My local Mahindra dealer (60 miles away) will sell me the 7520 4WD for $24,000 (special state fair price).

My local Kubota dealer (1 mile away) will sell me the M7040 with hdyraulic shift for $25,200.

The Kubota seems to be more refined then the Mahindra but I will take a drop in weight, horsepower, etc..

The Kubota with the hydraulic shift has a wet clutch, wet brakes, and a hydraulic PTO.

If I go with the Mahindra, I lose the hydraulic shift, wet clutch, and hydaulic PTO but I gain a little horsepower, another year of warranty, and better financing.

I will be using this tractor to mow/brush hog approximately 45 acres of CRP and do occassional dirt work to repair ditches.

I will not be purchasing an FEL.

What would you do?

i know this might shock some inlight of recent posts, but if your not getting an fel and the kubota dealer is 1 mile from your house, "you could drive it there" i would pay the extra $1200.00 for the kubota.
