Dieselsmoke,thanks for pics.looks great. How do you find the fule tank when mowing. I cant seem to get over the fact that I cant look at where I am mowing ????

Can't remember it bothering me. Got hit in the eye with a chunk of tobacco stalk that came out the front of this same bush hog about 40 years ago. Haven't looked back much since. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

That sure is a beautiful looking tractor. It looks very similar to a TYM tractor.

That's because it IS a TYM tractor. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] - built to Mahindra's specs.

Thanks. Even my wife thinks it's sexy looking! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
Mark is exactly right. The chassis ID plate identifies it as a TYM tractor. Mahindra adds a DaeDong engine,sheet metal, etc. Even the operator platform rubber mat carries the TYM emblem.

Nice looking tractor.
Have you found the grease zerks on the front axle swivel?My new 2310 doesn't have them and I have yet to hear that they aren't supposed to be there.

I checked, there are none on my piece. However, I'm really not concerned about it. I'll try to be brief with my logic.

In 1972 I bought a new MF135 diesel PS. My neighbor (a JD man) promptly condenmed it because it had no axle pivot zerk.

10 years and 5000 hours later I sold the old girl, not by choice I might add, and that same pivot pin was still there, doing it's job. Lots of those hours she carried 400 lbs of weight on the bumper to hold down a 4 row rolling cultivator with 400 lbs. of fertilizer on the 3 pt.

My original plan was to buy a 135 and restore in to new condition, no matter the cost. However, the creature comforts, functionality, and yes, looks, of the 2810 HST sold me.

If the old 135 is a true indicator, I don't expect I'll be around when the pivot pin in the 2810 gives up.

We're talking a joint that rotates in degrees, not revolutions.

That my friends, is my opinion. Take it for what it's worth with my blessings.

Nice machine. I have heard good things about them and I have recently noticed a lot of advertiseing in magazines by Mahindra. I think we will hopefully see more competetion to the big names as Kubota and JD remain so litigous and agressively persue the ban of grays. This seems to be opening a bit of a new niche market. I notice you also got the rear view of the car and the dog in that photo [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Dave
