[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 377026, member: 637"] Dog, I used to have a 3020, it was about 62 hp. It was a good tractor (I miss it) and handled good. But it was just a little small to do real heavy work. On the Mahindra and Kioti tractors, they are cheap built tractors and I think they attract people that have never really used a tractor much. Most of the time, they are lighter built and the hydraulics are weaker too. They are very inexpensive compared to a John Deere or Ford. I checked on a JD tractor compared to the Mah. 6500 and the 2750 JD. Same hp. It did show the Mahindra heavier, which surprised me, but the hydraulics were weaker. After sale support is weaker too. I think if you put them side by side, you would see where they cut the costs. If you ever tried to sell the tractor, you would lose sooooo much money if you decided to trade up. John Deere usually doesn't lose any money if you take care of it, bringing the same you paid for it years afer using it. For second on my list, would be a Ford(New Holland), then a Massey. I am not sure if I would choose a Case(InternationaL) or a Kubota. Check with [url=http://www.tractordata.com]http://www.tractordata.com[/url] and compare weight, haudraulics etc....... On the Kubota, I see too many for sale in tractor publications with low hours. For some reason, people aren't hanging on to them like the JD and then the Ford. When I see that large of a turnover on a tractor, it makes me think. Comfort and ease of operating make a difference if you spend much time on one. I have driven a JD, Ford, International, Massey, and Kubota for extended periods of time, and to me, the John Deere comes out on top. I am sure that some of the others will disagree, maybe they can give you their advice and you will be able to look closer at what makes them different from each other. Chuckie [/QUOTE]
