</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Hello again, I have looked at and driven several different tractors. JD,NH,Montana,Kubota,massey,kioti. Haven't driven a Mahindra yet. and not sure I'm going to....Just came from Mahindra forum and it seems that the main topic is resale value....I plan on buying a tractor and keeping it for several,several years so. I'm not really interested in resale value....
I was trying to find out some info on the M tractor,but the forum didn't really help me and so I went to site for info. seems to be basically the same as other brands, but no good all angle pictures..just specs....
I may be out of line,but I was wondering how the Mahindra stacks up against the kioti price wise?.....
there are no dealers of any tractors near me, so I am just trying to save another trip.....I am seriously considering a DK55.....but would like to know about the Mahindra.....cost is a consideration
If this is not a legit question then just ignore..thanks Mike

Well,
I may be the only one here that has both models you may be looking at. I just purchased a DK55C and own a Mahindra 6000 4WD FEL with 7ft IM Cutter.
On resale value, I think everything will depreciate some at first and then decline at a reduced rate. I bought both units used and if the resale is low it's hard for me to tell. There seems to be a fair amount of interest no matter what you are looking at - the Kioti guys like the Kiotis and the M guys rightly like the Ms. I have about 50 hours on the Mahindra (375 total) and have been very impressed with it. In fact, it is heavier and according to the specs probably torqier(sp). I like it a lot and have been impressed with everything I've asked it to do. I would say the Mahindra is more of a Utility size tractor and the Kioti a 'super' compact. Weighs about 1300lbs less according to the spec sheets. Rated power is a little less on the Kioti and the Kioti has a smaller engine but turbo.
The Kioti was purchased basically because I almost bought one before the Mahindra and the closest dealer to me is a Kioti dealer - also Massey which I like as well, but the opportunity came up on the Kioti so I thought I better give it a try.
I'm looking forward to the Kioti and once I get to spend some time on it(in a couple of weeks) I'll offer some comparison. For now, determine how strong a tractor you need and what you'll use it for and go from there. If you decide you'd like to try a Mahindra, I will be selling mine, I don't know maybe I'll sell the Kioti. I'd probably be happy either way. Please don't ask me to broadcast prices - certainly folks are pricing eqmt here and I'm okay with that. If you have a serious interest in pricing info PM me.
