we have the orange one in that horsepower range with hydrostatic tranny, 4x4 and loader. I love it, have had zero issues with it, but we mainly use it for grass cutting and food plots. have done some very minor road repair with it also.

Why is everyone speaking in colors instead of brand names?

Recently bought a blue LS tractor, 38 hp with hydrastat. So far so good

They are all good tractors. Check the warranty on each.

Recommend purchasing a tad bit more tractor than you think you will need. The future and obstacles it may bring are unknown but a tad bit more tractor can help you meet that unknown. Also, recommend purchasing 4wd in what ever brand you choose.
I own John Deere and Mahindra, both have performed well for my use. Neither of my tractors have hydrostat trans...hydrostat brings it's own set of potential issues depending on your usage.
In the end, only you know your needs for a tractor. It's your money, do your research and go with the one that best fits your needs.

I have a 2011 Kubota MX5100 4wd with a loader. It's a shuttle shift. It had done everything I need it to do. I use it weekly to bushhog and it handles a medium duty Woods cutter just fine. I liked at the JD and it was kinda pricey compared to the Kubota. The Mahindras are nice and I almost bought the 4530 4wd. They are just so heavy. It's great until you need to tow it. My tractor is perfect for me and I would buy again. 4 years No issues at all. I use mine for clipping, disking, and grading the driveway. The loader works great for putting up box stands too.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the tractors mentioned in that hp range this day in age.
As long as you perform the proper maintenance and don't hot dog it while out in the field, it will last a long time.
I'd suggest you talk with a couple of dealers and owners of those makes, figure out your uses (what you need from it), and shop around. There are some decent deals out there.
Additionally, if anyone tries to convince you that one is vastly superior to the other, run...they are feeding you b.s.

Has anyone heard of any problems with the new admissions burn off they have switched too. From what I have gathered kubota and deer have the same system that requires the tractor to go through a burn off every so often. Some people say every 8 hrs or so, others say they run there tractor at higher rpms and it doesn't burn off as often every 30 hrs or so.. Mahindra slalesman told me Mahindra spent 30 million coming up with an entirely different system that burns so clean they do not require a burn off.. Anyone heard this? Or had bad experience with burn offs?

Downshift is right as can be. Look at a 4 or small 5 series Deere. I'm at Sunshine in BR.
Posted on 6/16/15 at 9:41 pm to WPsportsman
Lol! Mahindra makes a good sturdy tractor but they would be the last guys to be called innovative. Deere has spent half a billion (public info) on tier 4 emissions R&D.

That's kind of what I was thinking when he told me that..30 mill is a lot of money but I figured reengineer an engine to burn that clean would take a lot more time and money than that

JD higher hp tractors (200+ hp) don't require manual burn off.
They will automatically run through the process If it's necessary and you won't even notice it.
In two 1/2 years, I've had to do it twice, once on two differ factors because the operators let them sit at idle for hours, multiple days in a row.
We've had to call a tech out a few times due to other issues that required a burn off but they were not ordinary issues.
I wouldn't let that scare you off...the engineers have thought through your worries and worked out any issues already. Plus that tech had been in the field for years now and the kinks are worked out.

A tractor is a lifetime purchase. If you're going to spend time on it get a Deere.
I have a 1975 Ford 2000 diesel that I bought over 10 years ago. Runs like a bat out of hell. It's got a couple small oil leaks now, but still fires up after sitting for a month or two with no problems. I use a 6' bushhog with it.
Even lift 4000 lb logs with it. If I were to need all parts for it, I can go to any NAPA in buy them. The bushhog I have is a Deere. Change the blades on that. Two bolts and nuts that hold the blades cost me $150 from Deere. Couldn't get them from any other place. $150 for two nuts and bolts? WTF?

Plenty of places online sale JD replacement parts. I buy all the parts for my JD dozer online.
