Just how many 10lb lead weights will the guys loader lift? Not that that will help all that much, just that it gives you an idea of the weight that a certain loader will pick up vs another guys.

I have a Mahindra 3215HST with a 111 Mahindra loader. It is rated at 1410lbs lift at the pins. The loader manual says to not exceed 500lbs when using a bail spear. Now there are some extreme differences in my opinion. What is the actual weight capacity with the loader bucket on? If there would be a fair way of rating the weight lifting capacity with the std bucket, I think that that would be the best. Some people like the rating at 24" in front of the pins, well I think that doesn't really work real world for most of our tractors either.

Just my opinions, others will vary.

Brian, I agree actually. Essentially a standard for the most common application on the bucket. Then let's go further. It should be the same for the rear lift, probably 24" aft of the pins. Then we should have a standard for rating the hydraulics, the HP, etc. All the majors could sign on saying they will use the standard and provide all of a certain minimum of specs on their brochures.

We have sure taken this thread away from the original subject.

If anyone is in our area, I'd be glad to let them look at or drive a 4035. Try it, you will like it.

Anyone wanting to look at more pictures of the new 4035 check out this link. Really looks like a nice tractor...if I only had some extra money.

This is for dealers, not a customer event, but after that these tractors will be available on the West Coast. Contact your local Mahindra dealer to see when they will get their first shipments.

It seems someone was really thinking when they designed the 4035, I can't tell for sure but from one of the pictures it sure looks like it has a cup holder on the fender, tell me I'm wrong.. This should be one hard tractor to keep in stock if it performs as good as it looks.

What is the background on the 35 series tractors? Are they Mahindra-built tractors, or rebadged Mitsu's or TYM's like some of the other series?

They sure do look nice!

They are Mahindra built, not rebadged. The design input started several years ago. Mahindra met with a lot of dealers and a lot of Mahindra tractor owners and discussed features, style, performance, etc. We had one meeting at our place. As trivial as they sound, we talked about high mounted lights, cup holders, comfortable seats, exhaust tone, etc. We then told them we wanted them heavy and we wanted steel fenders and hood, not plastic. We got it all, and it is very nice series of tractors.
