That's my problem exactly.....I have a Kubota dealer 6 miles down the road where the Mahindra dealer is 40 miles awayBuy the dealer, not the tractor.
I understand the Mahindras are mechanical and run sans computer. Some might look at this as a step backwards, but to me it would be a good selling point.
My problem with Branson, TYM, Mahindra, LS and some of the others coming from India and Korea is that around here the dealers seem to pop up and then disappear in a few years.
I think I read that TYM make's NH's smaller tractors. This is not uncommon.
I had one dealer tell me that the larger Mahindras were made by TYM, and I also noticed that some of the McCormick tractors (40 hp+) were Kioti DK-series in disguise. I'm sure there are a few more contract manufacturers out there for tractors. I know the auto industry does it all the time.
Was at Cabela's purchasing some ammo for spring turkey season and noticed they carry a line of tractors now
Only thing that is a bummer is the Mitsubishi 4-cylinder diesel does not sip fuel like my old JD 4100 - it gulps it down. Have used approx. 1 gallon per hour of running time. I don't know if that's good or bad but it's certainly a lot more than my old machine.
I think I read that TYM make's NH's smaller tractors. This is not uncommon. Years ago I bought a Yanmar (336D) instead of the same tractor with Green paint (1050). Yanmar didn't let Deere have the slieved motor or the powershift trans. It also helped that my neighbor was the Yanmar dealer
1 gal/hr? holy shyte.... the late 80's JD1050 (3 cyl turbo yanmar engine) I used to have used almost 2 1/2 gals per hour at rated shaft HP (~33hp, iirc). which I thought was pretty good compared to the 5+ gal/hr Farmalls we used to run.
or... are you talking about just running around doing "tractory" stuff... then yes a gal/hr seems excessive for a 35hp class machine.
The JD I had would absolutely sip fuel... until the brush hog, or rototiller was hooked up.
