I bought a 2014 Mahindra 6110 with front end loader this year in February, the tractor seemed great at first but I have experienced several problems in the short time that I have owned it. The first thing to go wrong was the air conditioning. Upon turning on the compressor the unit would scream for its life. I believe it is a clutch issue. Only after about an hours worth of playing with it, applying lubricant spray repeatedly, and just simply hoping that it would fix itself would it eventually work as it should. This not only probably put pressure on the system, but also wore the belt since the compressor wasn't turning. Because I had to raise the hood repeatedly the hood latch eventually broke. Luckily the hood weighs enough that it keeps it in the down position.
I've also learned the hard way that the fuel lines are hung in the worst place possible. I lost 1/4 tank of fuel one day while bush hogging when a small limb pulled the file line from the tank. The only reason I knew something was wrong is when the tractor suddenly died.
My most recent problem is that ALL electrical systems in the cab have stopped working. Everything on the dash has stopped working, the radio doesn't light up at all, the air/heater is unresponsive, and the lights, horn, signals, etc... ALL have stopped working! I was told by the dealer that they had never experienced a problem like this. I was then advised to remove the dash and check all connections. I'm not doing this due to the fact that I don't want to void my warranty by touching any of it. Basically I now have a simple tractor that only keeps me dry.
I really wish I had spent the extra money and bought a Massey Ferguson or John Deere. This is ridiculous! I only have 180 hours on this unit and I'm extremely disappointed so far.... My closest dealer is about 25 miles away but they still want $100 every time it needs to go the shop and they pick it up. I'm calling them today and placing an order for them to pick it up. I'll keep everyone up to speed on the results.
