Not that I have anything against Deere as I would love to have a 2520 but would rather have a Mahindra and a few more implements for the same money.
I gotcha now Tom. I would have been surprised if a Deere were cheaper than a similarly capable Mitsubishi Mahindra... but I am not up in Canada and ya never know! Several folks on that overbloated tractor forum have claimed to have gotten prices on Kubotas and Deeres that matched or beat Mahindra prices... although some of the machines they considered "comparable" took a real stretch of the imagination.
