Price Paid : $15,000.00
Years of Use : 2+ Years
Implements : SQ 60 BushHog, BushHog 3507 angle blade, loader, Markham Welding toothbar
Purchased From : Rogue Valley Farm Equipment
Strengths Traction,ergonomics, power, simplicity, reliability. The seat is extremely comfortable. 275 hours, and absolutely no disappointments.
Weaknesses No whoopie cushion.
Overall In its class, for the money, it is better than the blue, orange, green, and other fruity colors. Mahindra red is a lifesaver.

Review By : WestonTx on 10/04/2007
Price Paid : $14,200.00
Years of Use : New Owner (0-1 Year)
Implements : 5' shredder, 5' box blade, 5' scraper, 15 gal sprayer
Purchased From : Landmark Equipment
Strengths Easy on/off; strong transmission, all controls are easy to find/use when seated; 3 point adjusments easy w/ turnbuckles; very efficient engine; loader controls easy to reach.
Weaknesses Loader is weaker than I expected; tilt stearing is useless; brake lock should be more convenient ( you have to reach down to get lever and push down on brakes at the same time which is awkward); no cupholder; toolbox is small - could easily have been enlarged for little money; won't pull 5' box blade as easy as I expected; bucket won't take stumps easily.
Overall I researched Kubota, JD, Chinese, MF, NH and this one was the biggest, heaviest, inclusive bang for the buck. It's backed by a solid parts warehouse in Houston, and the dealer has been around for awhile (only 2 yrs. w/ Mahindra though, so I hope they don't get sideways). For my little 7 acres, it works great and replaces my 1948 Ferguson TE20 nicely. 3'rd largest mfg in the world with years of history. They also make cars and trucks.

Price Paid : $20,500.00
Years of Use : New Owner (0-1 Year)
Implements : Loader, Backhoe, Post Hole Digger
Purchased From : Burt Young Sales
Strengths Well designed layout, Seems overbuilt compared to the other major brands I tried out before buying, Excellent lift capacities, Very good pulling power, More features than most other units in this class. Open/roomy operator area.
Weaknesses HST pedal a little close to seat for my long legs. Just enough power when going uphill. No cup holder. Toolbox is small.
Overall Very good tractor for all around use. Have used to make a small road, hauled dozens of logs, pulled fence posts, graded driveway. Could have enjoyed the 3215 but definetly not disappointed with this for a first tractor.

Strengths Japanese made tractor without paying for expensive paint. Heavy duty materials. Even fenders are heavier than competition.
