I spoke to a Mahindra dealer on the phone the other day about a 4110 he had at his dealership. I had a nice discussion with him about the 4110, and he seemed to be most impressed with the machine and the dependability that the 4110 has. He told me that he purchased one of them for himself, and uses it as a loaner tractor when servicing customers' tractors. The price of $18,500 was pretty consistent with what some of you mentioned a few weeks ago. This 4110 includes the quick attach bucket, the only option I think I would need to add would be the QA bale spear for the loader, and possibly getting a couple of hooks welded onto the loader bucket.
I've stopped at a number of dealers after hours, even took the wife with me. She grew up driving tractors on the farm, and will be driving what ever we buy, so I thought I might be able to get her to get more into the tractor buying excitement by taking her with me. The only tractor I have been able to get much of a comment from her about has been the Mahindra, she really liked the 4110 when we looked at it. She didn't care appear to care anything at all about the New Holland and Kubotas we have looked at, doesn't even think much about even looking at the John Deeres. I think she will be pleased (or as much as a wife can be during a tractor purchase) should I choose the Mahindra, which is looking pretty likely heading into the drive and test stage.
He spoke in glowing terms about the Mahindras, except the 4500. He said the farmers who purchased the 4500s complained that it was underpowered for its size. Due to those complaints he doesn't carry the 4500 any more.
He does have what sounds like a good price on the 4wd 5500 w/loader, at $22,500.
