  Review:
  32.5 hours on my 5035 w/ML 130 FEL as of late November 2010 in the Georgia piedmont. Very happy with it and lotsa fun! Plenty of power and all implements have been very easy to hook up (by myself) with the flexible (extendable) lower links! Implements: 6' rotary mower, 6' rotary tiller, 5 ft. bog harrow, 8'x10'chain drag harrow, 6' rollover box blade, 7 shank chisel plow. Soil type is sandy loam with some clay. Terrain is rolling hills/flat. Rotary mowing and food plot prep has consumed most of my time so far. No problems whatsoever and no issues. I flipped the lights on the ROPS to face to the rear. They were too bright for night work. Dealer support from Lott Enterprises has been superb from day one. I'm a first time tractor owner, but have driven several in the past. The shuttle shift has been easy to learn/use even with the FEL-(But,I grew up using a clutch on many vehicles.) Friends have been "wowed". A couple others have shown green/blue/orange snobbish disdain. Effum! This is a great tractor!

  Pros:
  Power, ease of 3 pt hookups, operator ergonomics, comfort, adjustable seat/control column, engine smoothness

  Cons:
  None

  Review:
  This is my second Mahindra tractor. I had purchased a new 2004 2615 HST 4wd. It was a great tractor. I had no problems with it what so ever. When I decided to get a larger tractor, I did the same as with the 2615 and compared to the other guys. Just as before, the Mahindra was a heavier, better built and better priced unit. The 2010 5035 4wd is perfect for what I do, which is bush hogging, cleaning horse barn, moving hay, and some landscaping type work. It is compact enough to get into the barn with, just lower the ROPS. The turning radius is unbelievable for a 50 hp tractor! The low profile and width of the tractor extremely stable when bush hogging. The weight of the tractor and reach of the loader makes it very stable for loading/unloading round bales on/off a deck over trailer. The extendable lower arms makes hooking attachments a breeze, even by yourself. I did go with shuttle shift this time instead of HST. No problems with HST before, just wanted little extra hp at pto. I purchased the tractor from Mountain Farm International Inc. in Crossville, TN. They were not the closest dealer, (about 100 miles away) but gave me the best deal. The service after the sell has been unbelievable! The owner, salesman and entire staff have always gone out of their way to assist me in anything I have needed. You would have thought I bought a dozen of the most expensive tractors on the lot! It has been well worth that extra drive...Don't know which to brag on the most, the tractor or the dealer.

  Pros:
  Usable power, easy shuttle shift, great turning radius, perfect combination of weight, width, and low profile. Extendable lower arms. Loader very easy to use.

  Cons:
  None so far!
