- 2006 Mahindra 7520 4WD w/ ML 275 loader, bale spear, pallet forks, grille guard & canopy.
Yesterday while cutting 40 acres of hay it went down on me and left me stranded in the field with 1/2 my hay cut.
A neighbor stopped by and I stopped the tractor and shut it down to see what my neighbor wanted. After about 5 minutes of conversation he gets ready to leave and I go to start the tractor back up and it will not start. It won't turn over, it will not make a clicking sound or anything else. I tried all I knew to try, checked all I knew to check and finally had to call the dealer and speak with the service manager. He had me hold the key over to start it and move the PTO switch back and forth at a rapid pace to see if it was in the switch on the PTO. Finally, after several attempts of this the tractor started up. He said the switch on the PTO has gone bad. Now to start the tractor you have to move the PTO on & off several times to get it started.
Also, on the rear of my tractor at the 4 hydraulic couplings, I have a severe hydraulic leak somewhere. The whole rear of my trator is covered in hydraulic fluid. I had one line hooked to the couplings and that is to raise the cutter bar up and down on my disc mower. It is not leaking from my hose or connector on the hose that goes to my mower. The leak is coming from somwhere on the back of the tractor.
It seems like EVERYTIME I use this tractor something else goes wrong with it. I have never seen a new product have as many problems as I have had with this tractor.
What is wrong Mahindra?? Did I just get a lemon?? Is it going to be this way from here on out with this tractor? Is there going to be a new problem pop up everytime I use it for something?
I'm going to go broke having to haul this thing back and forth to the dealer.
When will it end?
