I was looking for a sub-compact tractor for personal use. I had been watching many auctions local and away for a Deere 1-series, a Kubota BX series, etc.
DeMott auctions listed a Mahindra eMax 25L HST tractor with a loader and belly mower. I did the research via tractordata.com and other sites and found it should meet my needs. I ended up being the high bidder for the tractor and received the invoice. Re-validation of the invoice data with another local Mahindra dealer, it turns out that the tractor is not an eMax 25L HST, but is actually an eMax 25 manufactured in 2014. The differences are that the eMax 25 came with a Daodong 1.0L diesel and only showed the loader and backhoe as options. No mid-mount mower. The eMax 25L HST was produced from 2019-2023, came with the Kukje 1.2L diesel, and included the 60 inch mid-mount mower as an option. When I spoke with DeMott this morning, it didn't seem like they were concerned with the difference. The person also said that the mid-mount mower looked like it came from another tractor, due to the condition of the mower vs the better looking-tractor condition. I understand TYM actually produces both tractors and Mahindra distributes them, I was looking for the Kukje motor and the loader/mower, not the Daodong with the loader and a cluge-together mower...
I realize this may seem like complaining, but the catalog clearly stated a specific model and the invoice stated the same clearly specific model information, but in the end, I am not receiving the model I was bidding on and supposed to be purchasing. While this is my first and possibly my only purchase of a tractor via equimentfacts/auctiontime, and my inexperience could be showing, honest and correct information and descriptions should reflect accurate models.
