MAHINDRA QUESTIONS

Travis_R · Jul 25, 2004

Dave,

Thank you for the reply. From what you told me, does this apply to both the E350 and the 3505, or just one of them?

What has me "throwed off" is the E350's over running clutch.

Thanks,
Travis

Travis,

Both.

Dave,

Thanks for your time.

Are you a Mahindra dealer? If you are or aren't, what would be a fair price on the Mahindra E350 DI, cheap (Howse) 5ft. rotary cutter, a cheap (Howse) 5ft. box blade, and a tandem axle trailer, plus tax? How much without the trailer?

Please give me a price on everything above, but using the Mahindra 3505 DI.

I would also like to know what a good cash price would be.

Thanks,
Travis

P.S......I don't really care for Howse implements. I just want a round about figure.

OH!!! I almost forgot.

What kind of engine (name brand) comes in the E350 and 3505? I have heard something like Dae Dong or Dong Feng or something. Whatever it is, I heard that they are the makers of the engines for KIOTI. Is this true, or just hear- say?

Travis,
I am a dealer, but I am thousand of miles away in Northern California. Go to Mahindra USA and look up some local dealers. Call them and ask them questions and prices.

I do not post prices in this forum, and frankly by the time they ship tractors from Texas or Georgia (where they are warehoused in the USA) to me in California and then for me to ship one back, I could not compete with your local dealers.

Call a local dealer, have him send you some brochures, or go look at one. I am glad to answer questions, but I think it is time you drove one of these.

To everyone,

Thanks for the replies.

I am leaning more towards the Mahindra E350 DI. That is the one i'll probably get when I get ready to buy. But, like Dave said, i'll have to test drive it first and see if I like the hydraulic set up and the tractor in general.

Again, thank ya'll and i'll post back when I buy my tractor. May be 4 to 6 months but i'll post.

Travis,

I purchased a used Mahindra, Model 4005, and it has power steering, and all of the other features of the 3505. I would not have a tractor without the P/S, as it takes both hands, arms to drive that puppy, especially at slow speeds, and there are other things you may need your hands for, lift, changing gears, etc. Plus the two stage clutch for a brush hog is great .

I paid $10K six months ago, had a FEL, brush hog, and box blade. Only 470 hours, and the only thing I could wish for is 4 wheel drive, and possibly a HST. Great tractor, very strong.

Good Luck, Les

Travis..... defininately go with power steering!! I have an old MF135 without it.... if you hit a rut, rock or whatever and have a steering somewhat between your fingers, you will damage tendons and ligaments in your hand. That's what happened to me at least /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif.... so my next tractor will have power steering wiht a steering knob attached.
