Thanks guys for the advice. I just got off the phone with my bank and the dealer and I have to say I made out pretty good. I got the interest rate dropped from 10% to 8.5%, which surprised me that the interest rate was even negotiable. I guess it had something to do with it being my personal bank and my house, land, and other loans have been solely with them. The dealer was set on his price, which I figured, so I asked him to throw in a boom pole, the first break-in oil and filter change, and a few hats, which he did. I am happy now. I am responsible for getting the equipment back to the shop for warranty services though, mostly due to liability reasons being that they have to use an independent person to haul it. The only other thing I think I am going to regret is not getting the FEL, but I can live without it due to it would increase my payments by $142/mth.

This site is great! I really appreciate the quick responses and straight forward feed back. Keep up the good work!

Buying new tractor - need advice on making the deal

Why is he trying to talk you away from Mahindra? Is it just a sales pitch or is there something wrong with Mahindra that I need to know before buying one? I know the Mahindra name is just now making it's way across the country and a lot of people just aren't that familiar with them, but it has been big here in Louisiana for a few years and everyone I know that has one has not had any problems. In fact, they are the old IH from what I understand. I found that, according to specs, you seem to get more tractor for your money compared to the other brands that you are just paying for the name. Heck, I was dead set for a John Deere until I found out they have a Yanmar engine in them, and Yanmar is famous for their 30 day, or until you get it home, warranty. Kubota has a list of grey market models that are still being sold today, they even post them on their website to protect buyers. NH is way overpriced for the amount of plastic that is on them, at least on the Boomer series. I have a Shibaura SD2200 that is in my shop in half with a broke crank that I cannot find, I don't need anymore equipment that parts can't be found for or are so high priced you can't afford them. That's why I am leaning toward Mahindra. I am not trying to knock the others, I am sure they all have their ups and downs, I have just been doing a lot of research and reading all the consumer reports I can find and I don't see anything better out there for my money, but please, prove me wrong.

I have a Shibaura SD2200 4x4 and have had all kinds of problems from starters to a total rebuild of engine. I know parts are hard to find but I have found a source, although they are high on prices. If anyone is interested in my experiences please let me know through this post, being there are too many to list at once. <br>
I am looking for people with the same tractor so we can swap stories.

Would like to trade information
