[QUOTE="Butasha, post: 1675969, member: 27328"] We have 3 JD tractors. Newer 5100, much older 4320 and a 3038 for pens and other confined areas. A few years ago prior to the 3038 purchase we decided to try a Mahindra and purchased a 4550 4x4. Very basic tractor. Manual transmission exposed cab etc. we did put a 3rd function for a grapple on the FEL. So basically a small sized work tractor that was basically used for clean up and shredding. We haven’t had any dependability issues with the Magindra but then it is very seldom used. I absolutely hate operating this thing. I feel like a puppet on strings trying to operate it. Guess I have become spoiled with all the green luxury items. Requires both hands and both legs to operate and after a full day of clearing brush or pen cleaning I am worn out. But then I am 61 and not quite in the shape I was a few years back. Lol The funny part is that it actually caused us to spend more money than if we had bought a new green tractor. Because after a couple years of cussing the 4550 we went and bought the JD 3038 that will work circles around the Mahindra. That is when working in close quarters. The 4550 is stronger than the 3038 but if I need more HP and lifting ability I go get on the 5100. I know apples to oranges and if we had bought a Mahindra with hydro transmission with all the usual JD options we may have actually liked the Mahindra. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
