Thoughts on 4 different tractors?

Just my opinion, but that Mahindra will outwork all those others. Now if you need that, I don't know. The Montana is actually a TYM tractor, also sold as a Mahindra in the same time period.
The Mahindra 8560 is a Mahindra, not a rebranded machine. It is a 10k+ pound machine as it sits without any ballast.

Good luck in your search.

The only thing that bothers me about the Mahindra is that hole someone cut in the plastic just under the hand throttle. Not sure what was tried there or not... If it was just linkage repairs then that wouldn't be a problem.

That would be my guess. I don't know what else would be there.

It sure looks like the previous owner needed to get in there on a frequent basis with the wingnut cover.

So in my area, I have JD, NH, MF, LS, Kubota, Case all within an hours drive of me. All are overpriced in my opinion. I did however, find an LS dealer about 2 and a half hours away that has a 2023 MT468CPS for 42,999 new, old stock. I'm thinking if I go LS, I can get some of my "wants" while also staying somewhat on budget but would be getting a slightly smaller tractor. I believe it would run everything but my round baler...ugh, I hate being in a position where I need another tractor and don't have a ton of time to wait for the right deal...

So the Branson 6640C is labeled as a Utility tractor whereas the Kioti DK65S is labeled as a compact utility... The Kioti is bigger and heavier than the Branson so what difference between the 2 that makes the Branson not a compact?

This is a bit over my comfortable price range and only about a 5 and a half hour drive from me...

$33K for a 2004 M6800 with 1970 hrs? I wonder what the cost was brand new?

Usually tractor data has that info but it doesnt. That tractor looks huge but has a weight of 5712lbs for 4wd cab and the kioti dk65s looks tiny in comparison and has a weight of 6856lbs....

So I pulled the trigger on the 2007 Kioti dk65S I was looking at. I was able to get a bit of money off the tractor and the shipping covered. It was everything the dealer described and showed. Runs good, no issue there so far. He did mention that the loader was uneven by about an inch but his inch must be bigger cause it's off by about 2 or 3 inchs on the left side. I believe I can straighten it out enough to plow snow and move round bales.
