I know I just got my tractor yesterday but I love it!! it is just my size. My husband has a 5500. Too big for me. I am almost 5ft. tall. So I needed something smaller just for me. He has been so pleased with his that it was a no brainer which one I would choose, just wanted people (little ladies like me) there is a tractor for them out there. A Mahindra!

2008 Mahindra 2516 HST Tractor

Review by Fred Catella from Pulaski, NY
Date reviewed: 11/28/2009

This is my first tractor and I wish I had gotten one sooner. I didn't shop around too much as everything I read about size, weight and performance kept leading me to the Mahindra. Gray's gave me an excellent price and some additional incentives. We live in the snow belt east of Lake Ontario and get anywhere from 10 to 20 FEET of snow per season. This little tractor did a superb job last year with a 5 foot rear mounted blower. One storm dumped 3+ feet in less than a day and the 2516 chewed right through it. The loader will lift anything that will fit in it. I also use it for mowing with a 5 foot rear finish mower. I have kept rough track of the fuel consumption and that is another suprising benefit - about one gallon of diesel per hour under full working load. Haven't had any problems in the first year of ownership and couldn't be happier with the purchase. I'd give it a 5 if you made a cab for it.

Purchased: New
Pros: Power, fuel consumption, dependability
Cons: No factory cab available (it's cold up here in January)
