Tractor search

And once you buy stop pricing as it will do you no good to beat yourself up over a possible better deal.

This is the best advice!!!

I will try and get a better back picture of the Kubota-I found another dealer close to me that sells Mahindra and they have a brand new 2016 2538 cab w/loader for 27840.00. What are the thoughts on this machine.

If you are still considering new the LS3135HC would be comparable to the Mahindra 2538. (Couple of threads on here like this so I can't remember who I said what to.) I just purchased my 3135 with loader for $26,535. I looked at Mahindra along with LS and others. Personally I did not like the layout and overall "feel" of the Mahindra. Just my opinion I would highly suggest going to see them in person and test drive to make your own opinion. One thing to consider is that the LS price includes 2 rear remotes standard along with a control for the 3pt in the rear. It looks like on the spec sheet that none are standard on the Mahindra, both are options.

Don't want to be a jerk but is it possible the hour meter has been changed out and there are more hours than what it actually shows? I would be very suspicious . Looking at the picture it looks to me like the rear tires have a bit of wear or am I seeing things? Just seems odd that he would of only put on 17 hours a year. I hardly use my tractor and I put at least 30 hours a year on it.

With this comparison, you're comparing a "premium" tractor in the LS XR3135HC with an economy tractor with the Mahindra 2538. You'd need to compare the LS to the 1538 to see a similar product...or the 3540 but this is just a bigger tractor all the way around...the 3500 series tractors are beasts.

That may be true. I was comparing size, weight etc. Even more so then to look at the LS. Your getting a premium tractor for the price of an economy tractor.

From my research the LS and Mahindra tractors were competitively priced from model to model. Region may impact the pricing of different brands so it may not be that way every where. I very seriously considered LS before choosing Mahindra but the dealer network in AL for LS isn't very good. Mahindra is only a little better, dealer network, but there multiple dealers within 2 hours that have been in business for many years. Kubota and JD are the "big" brands local to me. You have to search around for NH or MF.

When i was looking for a tractor the LS premium tractor (XR3037HC) was prices $4-5K less than the comparable premium model Mahindra, Kubota, Case, MF, and JD. At the time those were the only brands near to me. I think most current LS owners found the same thing while shopping.
