Mahindra purchase

[skipmarcy]

I do tons of loader work with mine and don't have a problem with speed. I set my throttle right at 1400 - 1500 rpms and give it h... I can move a 22 ton load of sand or gravel with the loader in less than 20 minutes and have it boxed smooth in most cases in another 10 or 15. The loaders on the 4110's are quite powerful and smooth for the size of the tractor.

Remember the faster a loader lifts the more eratic the operation will become. The operation has to feel comfortable to you. Good Luck!

Well I visited the Mahindra dealer in Bedford today and test drove/played with a 4110 and a 3215. I was disappointed that they did not have a 3510 on the lot mostly to compare the tire size with the 4110.
I was impressed with the loader hydraulics on both tractors, not slow at all.
The dealer found a 3510 in Owensboro, KY. that I am going to look at on Monday.
The 3215 is not as heavy as my 1910 Ford which I am replacing and just does not feel right, and wonder about it handling my 6 ft bushhog.
I really liked the 4110 and will most likely purchase it. It has the R-4 tires which look like a good cross between an R-1 and the normal R-4's you normally see. Loader with skid steer quick attach for $21,099.
Thanks to all for the good replies.

What is everyones experience with dealer warrenty service work?
If something major were to break was your dealer there for you to remedy the problem or were you on your own? If your selling dealer will not provide warranty service will another dealer honor the warranty and provide the service?
I am asking this as I am very intereted in this 4110 at my local dealership in Bedford, IN.
My Dad just bought a 55hp Case/IH and my younger brother a TN55 New Holland, they both still farm on a large scale.
They like the looks of the 4110 but keep pushing me to consider a main line manufacturer because of not knowing about dealer service after the sale.
A comparable DX40 Farmall or TC40 New Holland maybe out of my price range, plus I really like the looks and feel of the 4110.
I trust the dealer, but their questioning this subject has me second guessing myself.
Does anyone have experience with the dealer in Bedford as to service work?
Thanks
Jeff

I have no experience with that dealer but I had a warranty issue with mine. My dealer picked it up and actually brought a loaner when they hadn't figured it out in 2 weeks. Don't worry about that. Mahindra will send area reps to help the dealers if needed (they did on mine).

Thanks for the reply.
I was just wondering.
You don't buy a new tractor expecting to have major problems but you never know.
It sounds as if Mahindra has all bases covered and a good rep. network.
My Dad has had the CaseIH dealer out three or four times so even the main line tractors have their problems. Jeff

This is just me thinking out loud, so take it for what it's worth... I think Mahindra is at a good size right now as far as the customer is concerned. They're big enough to have some fairly well established dealers with fully equipped service departments, yet small enough to know they must take care of their customers if they expect to succeed and continue to grow in a very competitive market.

Thankfully, I haven't had any issues with my Mahindra that required a warranty claim. But, I'm confident, just from talking with other owners that bought from my dealer, that if I did have a claim, it'd be taken care of quickly and efficiently.

It also eases my worries somewhat knowing that Mahindra representatives frequent this site. If I hit a dead end with my dealer (I don't expect I will), I'll not hesitate to contact MUSA here at TBN until I'm satisfied that Mahindra has done what they can to resolve my issue.

Thanks,

we bought a 3510 hst with a f.e.l. and r4 tires a few months ago and have about 55 hours on it now. my wife has put on most of the hours!!!!! my m.f. 135 2 wheel drive sets in the barn!! i was brush hogging today with it ,only a 5' but would handle a 6' with no problem. cleaned out a ditch along a field with the loader,and it moves plenty fast for me, never having a loader before i may not know any better. my dealer has sold a bunch of mahindras, he also sell john deere. the size of the 3510 is just right for us, working around the house and brush hogging the pastures(no cattle in years). we wanted something that my wife would run, and boy did we hit on the right one!!!we didn't look at any other models as we was looking for a 35 horse tractor and the 3510 fit the bill. well hope the info helps

Thanks for all the replies. I am feeling more confident about the warranty service issue if ti is ever needed.
I e-mailed Mahindra USA yesterday and had a very positive reply within an hour that helped alot.
I am still going to question this dealer on this when I go back. I am going to another Mahindra dealer today that also sells Branson and Kioti and plan on stopping by the NH, CaseIH and AGCo dealers also to get some prices that I know are going to be alot higher.
I believe I will end up at the original dealer buying the 4110 Mahindra.

Well I went past the other Mahindra dealer today, could not even get anyone to talk to me. They did not have many new tractors on the lot and the 3510HST I went to look at was an older model and had been setting for awhile. The CaseIH/Kubota dealer was not much better.
Also got some quotes on a TC40 at two NH dealers at between $5000 - $7000 more than the 4110.
So when I got home I had the Bedford Mahindra dealer fax the credit app. to me and the wife will fax it back in the morning after they open.
If all goes well I'll pick it up on Saturday. The dealer even took a good amount off for me picking it up.
So I am going to sell my 1910 Ford w/ loader straight out and not trade it in.
Thanks to all who posted and helped me thru this. I am sure I will be very happy with my decision to go with the 4110. Jeff
