Mahindra Now 4th Largest Tractor Seller in USA

[Varmintmist]

Not really.

The brand is big but the amount of machines owned by TBN'ers is still low. Perhaps bumped up into other brands for now. I never quite got the disconnect between owning operating and buying priceing. If you are buying then you need to know what it will do before you price it.

I dont know, maybe wait a week or two till Mahindra outsells JD /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I agree with Bob I'd like to see the figures. Mark from CCI has claimed that Kubota is #1 in the CUT category and Mahindra wasn't even mentioned in the top ones. I don't know if that story is 100% factual or not but I would think there should be some fact checking somewhere.

I know the sales figures are wrong. The dealer I am with sells over 1500 tractors a year.

With so many dealers jumping onto this bandwagon I'm not sure how anyone is going to seriously up their %. Not Deere, Kubota, or Mahindra. Everyone with any $ is selling tractors now. Where is the ceiling on the amount of units sold? How many more people are going to be needing tractors in this category?

I guess the thing that troubles me the most is that people are happy that Mahindra is moving up as a top company in the US. 1000's of jobs are leaving here for foreign countries. And it's not just Mahindra. Deere was celebrating that they were now opening a new combine factory in Brazil at the same time they are laying off workers in the US. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Up until now they've boasted how the combines and bigger tractors were all US made. Not anymore. I really wonder at what price all these cheaper products, Deere included, are going to cost us in the long run. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Who is going to be left that can afford to buy anything?

I'd like to see Mahindra moved into the "other major manufacturers" section.

I don't know about a seperate "owning/operating" section. We don't seem to be a very talkative lot, compared to other brands.

I'm not sure what I'd ever post in such a forum. "Got the tractor out this morning. Snowblowed the drive. Then put it away. Probably have to do the same thing tomorrow. I'll let you know." /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

In answering Muhammad's question, obviously I think the Mahindra forum should be at least in the "Other Major Manufacturer" section of this site. No matter what the true rankings really really really are, I think everyone would agree that it is true, Mahindra is a "Major Manufacturer".

Yes, they deserve it.

Oh, you are a funny one this morning. I just bought new paint for my Cub. Now I just need some down time to tear it all apart and paint it up.

/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif YES, if not, at the very least, it should be moved up to "Other Major Manufacturers /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

P.S. Maybe Kioti was promoted (split into buying/ pricing & owning /operating) a little early??????

Kioti has around 11,000 posts and Mahindra has 3700. Powertrac and Yanmar have even more posts. I would still like to see a legitimate source that says Mahindra is #4 in US sales.

Sorry to say , the old days are gone, its sad, if I could have them back I'd do it in a second. I'd buy "Made in U.S." if I could find it. The only label thats common today is "ASSEMBLED IN U.S." Does any body know what percentage of a John Deere compact tractor is actually made in U.S., the engine?
the tires? the battery ? , Today, the U.S. tractor is more like the United Nations, no matter what brand you look at!

Ron
P.S. Yanmar - do they make John Deeere compacts
