I had no idea about seperate PTO power or clutch issues to take into consideration. Im not a very good mechanic so I don't need to try and make a 60 yr old tractor run like new. Thanks |
I bought a 2WD Mahindra 5525, a big brother to the 3525, last March. At 55 hp (engine) and 45 hp (
pto) it's the tractor I plan to use for my 8 acre hayfield. I bought the ML250 front end loader (FEL) with the tractor. I only have about 30 hours on it, but so far it's worked fine. There's some double clutching needed since the tranny is pretty simple on the 3525 and the 5525. No problem. Just takes a little patience and practice. You'll grind the gears a little in the learning process.
