Agreed. I don't know much on compact JD. Just mowers and farm tractors. Can't go wrong with Case anything IMO.
Why didn't you like the Mahindra?
And you are spot on with the quick connect stuff. The Kubota has that and what a difference! Nice to help hook up equipment and not feel like you could lose a finger at any moment! LOL
Liked the Mahindra most especially considering price. It was great but can't use a belly mower and a backhoe with them (same time) as is the same with most others. The mounting system (frame mounts) don't jive.
Each time switching between mowing and using the backhoe you would have to take off the frame brackets which defeats the purpose of quick connect.
Mahindra has taken the best of all the compacts and made it their own. All this shopping because of the belly mower. We have way TOO many trees to go around for a rear mount mower. If we were able to use a rear mount would have a Mahindra 4016 sitting in the garage (soon to be new barn) now.
The New Holland is great so far. They are all nice now. Those little, high compression diesels are hard to beat.
