It's hard to determine what you really need unless you say how you intend to use it. If you are going to mow 5 acres of yard or are you going to be in the hay business?
I have a 3510, never hurt for power, and it is pretty easy on diesel, unless bush hogging, it drinks a little more then. I also feel even the 3510, could be too heavy to mow with a finish mower. It would tear up the yard somewhat, depending how particuliar you are I guess.
I always was a bigger is better guy, even thought how nice it would be having a bigger tractor. Then I realized that it was'nt needed, in my particuliar case. I have been quite happy with the 3510.
Why are you replaceing the 1910 Ford? Have you outgrown it? The 3510 might be a little more tractor and the 4110 is definately more tractor. Depends on your needs....

TractorData.com - Mahindra 3510 - 3510

TractorData.com - Mahindra 4110 -4110
I am aware of the specs on these tractors amd the 1910 I currently own.
The 5 acres of yard includes the house site, barn, shop orchard and round pen and maybe cut back to add to a future hay feild.
I also will eb taking care of my inlaws 32 acres in the future.
I am looking at the 3510 and 4110 because I will need to pull a square baler in the future.
I am happy with the 1910 but I would like better hydraulics, independent pto (no two stage clutch), the flat operator platform and more hp.
I've been operating farm tractors since I was 9 years old so I know what I need.
I was inquiring as to any problems with the Mahindra tractors as to parts and service problems etc.
Thanks for your insight. Jeff
