Mahindra 6000.....

Spoke too soon! 7010 cab is down again. A plastic clip on the top of the loader control broke day before yesterday. Called the dealer and found out the whole control is all that's available, $350! $350 and all I need is a cable. That hurts! Who designs these things? Bet they have a fat wallet!

Ouch! Jeremy, where are you? KMW loader down! At least it isn't another issue with the 7110. Where is Jeremy when you need him?

You know, that's really dumb that a plastic clip requires a whole new setup...can you somehow make it??/ in the same vein, the only thing that went wrong with my 6000 was an O-ring at the top of the power steering resevoir that started to leak...Mahindra sent a whole new resevoir...(as I stateed at the start its been over 250 hrs since this...I have 335 hrs on the tractor)...Good luck with the "clip".

Just over 1000 hours on my 2004 6500. Nothing major to report. One item replaced under warranty. Lots of loader work but mostly used for haying.

How about some pictures of the unit and the broken clip, maybe someone can come up with thoughts on a replacement.

Was able to pick up a used cable for $100. Turns out TYM sells just the cables for a shade over $125. Now I'm looking for the balls that fit in the 3 pt arms and a rearveiw mirror from TYM. Looks like parts are going to be cheaper for those rebranded TYMs from TYM.
