Yep... I told myself I never would but after serious consideration and thinkin' of all the things I can do, it ended up makin' sense.

Right now I'm lookin' at a Mahindra 6500 4WD with the 265 FEL (No Quick Attach) for $23852 delivered... but I may go ahead and add the QA for $300. Funny how I started out at wanting to be under $15000 and now I'm gonna be spending somewhere around $27K with all the attachments.

From my investigation it appears Mahindra is very reputable and they are serious about their tractors. They want to own the market and from their recent track record they are on the right track. I see problems here and there with all of them... it's part of buying anything... anything can go wrong... with any name brand.

I appreciate your help and consideration though.

I dont have a Jinma or a Mahindra but given the specs and the pricing, I would think the Mahindra is the no brainer option of those 2

Since kubota is changing their models in January You could probably get a great deal. Look at the L4400 or for a 3830, they should be enough for your property.

Re-opening a thread that has been dead for 16 months is not exactly good form... Please check the dates on a post before you reply.

You know Jim, you're probably right, but I read and enjoyed the whole post without even noticing the dates. But that was after somebody brought it to the first page.
