I'm considering downsizing as this is too much tractor for what I need now. I have a 6500 4wd with a 265 loader with quick tatch and teeth and a backhoe. Also have many implements. What should I be looking to get for the tractor and backhoe at least? Single owner bought in 2005. Paint is...

I have a 265 I think loader. It has gotten much slower. I changed out the hyd filter and oil looked great. I haven't checked the screen yet but wondering what the best plan for diagnosing slow loader is? Not sure right now if it is the screen or pump or control valves. Thank you

You shouldn't see the gelling issues unless you are 18 degrees or below. If they do gel though I don't think normal additive will ungel them. I think you need the emergency stuff then and you're still supposed to change the filters out when you can. If the filters look ok it may be some other...

I had an issue recently where I could start my tractor (6500 4WD) but it would not operate at full power. It was blowing some white smoke and sluggish. After changing air filters with no luck I changed fuel filters and it is back to max power no white smoke. Fuel filters are cheap.

I have a block heater and use it but there are other considerations. This winter was extremely cold and I had some days where I couldn't use the tractor as the shuttle shift wouldn't switch and a few days where the tractor did not want to start. Somedays it is better just to leave the tractor...

I have a Jinma 6" PTO wood chipper. The joint that between the feed roller and the drive shaft is rounded on both ends. I see that they have upgraded the driveshaft from the style I have and that is available at circle tractors at least but I'm not seeing the roller anywhere. Any ideas on...

Have a couple issues with my B7610. The float is no longer working on the loader so wondering where I start to see if I can fix or adjust that. The loader has full motion otherwise it just seems to keep pushing down instead of floating when I try the float position now. Also periodically I...

on my 6500 4wd my left brake has started locking up. If I pull the pedal back it seems to be ok for a while. The spring seems to still be ok on the pedal. Ideas on where to start troubleshooting? It is fairly dangerous when I am working and all of a sudden it steers off in another direction...

Hi I am considering getting a Kubota RTV, 900 or 1100 or similar. I plan on using whatever I get around the farm and in the woods which can have decent grades and obstacles to cross, small fallen trees etc. Are the Kubotas as good as say a Polaris in this regard or are they more for flat...

Sorry if these come out sideways I am using the android app. I went with a 109$ flip seat from the local farm store. Bolted right on. Folded seat will protect more and make it easier to cover.

I have what was the stock seat on the 6500 4WD in 2005. My tractor is outside a lot and the seat did not shed water or snow very well. Also the material seems to crack quite easily in the elements. I have the seat off and I am trying to decide if I replace with the same model which is about...

Hi my hour meter stopped working but the tach still works on my 6500. Quick thoughts on what this might be?

I was shopping around for a tractor with a cab for the winter months and was surprised when a local dealer offered me 14k for a trade in for my 6500 4WD with loader. For a package with the backhoe it ran me 36k 10 years ago. Is this common for Mahindra? Obviously I am not going to go with a...

Mahindra friends it has been a long time since I posted here. Sorry for the absence. My current dilemma is that I was working on a hillside and I thought I ran out of fuel. I put some diesel in and used the primer pump to pull it through. The tractor turns over but does not start. The...

I use a belly mower on my B7610HST. Recently it seems to chatter or cause uneven loads on engine. Is there adjustment I need to make on a drive clutch or something for the mower deck? The model of the deck is in my signature.

Hi I did my first 300 hr service on my B7610 the other day and I had to drain the front transmission as well as the rear. There is only 1 fill I can see near the rear of the seat. I see that the two assemblies are connected with pipes so is the one fill point the only location required to add...

I ran out of diesel after working a couple hours. put some diesel in, primed it by pumping the primer that you unscrew and push till you feel a lot of resistance, went to start it and the starter turns but it doesn't act like it is engaging with the flywheel. It is spinning too fast and no...

Can anyone tell me the best place online to get filters for the 6500? I need pretty much everything. Also if I recall it came with the 2 paper fuel filters. If I should change to something else please let me know.

Hey guys, every once in a while the B7610 wont start. It wont turn over. I can start it by turning the key on and then shorting the terminals on the starter. Other times it starts fine. Is there some electrical component between the key and the starter that would be doing this? I would...

Hi I have a B7610. I love this machine but the 3 point can be a bit ridiculous. I have read some mention of a quarter inching valve, but my troubles seem to go beyond that. Sometimes when raising it seems to get stuck and wants to keep raising. I really have to pull at the lever to bring it...

Hi what would make a fuel shutoff solenoid get hot? Does this mean it isn't adjusted properly or is just defective? I am imagining that it wants to be at a full retraction when it is powered and if it cant seat completely that it overheats. I have a new one but I want to make sure I get it...

I told my 4 year old that the Mahindra was being turned into a T-Rex today! Needs some paint and some grinding here and there but it is amazing! 84" grapple!

Hi I had been talking to this gentleman about a curtis blade he has that looks like new and he had special mounts made for an LA402. I think he's asking $800. I have no connection to him other than looking at his craigs list ad. I don't think it will work for my LA352 so I am passing it on to...

I am looking at some equip made for a LA401's pin dimensions. Does the 401 have the same pin connections or are they larger than the LA352? Width and pin dia' I am guessing are different but I thought I'd check.

If anyone has a parts breakdown for the RCK60-24B mid mount mower could they get me the part numbers for the front gauge wheel assemblies? I need the whole thing. My local Kubota dealer said they weren't available as a complete part (which seems to be different from the other decks that are...

Hi I have a B7610 coming in the mail with a loader and MMM. It has turf tires on it now. There is a local guy selling ag tires but I think they might be too narrow. Can someone tell me what size tires are recommended for ag and if narrower tires would still be ok? From what I found online...

Hi I am looking at a geared 4WD B7100 16hp. It has a snowblower and a mid mount mower. I was wondering if the PTO was live or not and what else I should be looking for. It has a couple thousand hours on it but the guy says the engine is great. Is $4800 an ok price for this arrangement? It...

Has anyone heard if the violence in India is affecting Mahindra? I was just curious.

I just got a middle buster for some planting I'll be doing and I read in the ad that it can also dig potatoes? Could someone tell me the technique that is used to do this? I know it might be perfectly obvious to some folks. I just don't want to drive down the row and slice up a bunch of...

Hi, I picked up a Jacobsen Mower over the weekend that has a 21.5 3cylinder Kubota Diesel in it. I think it is a D950. The guy said it quit while mowing and that he had a diesel mechanic look at it and the mechanic said it was an electrical issue. I put a new battery on it and disconnected...

I needed some chains for my 4wd mahindra and I had access to some old tractor chains. I have about 5 pairs of old chains and a couple partials that I could use for parts. I got a couple of these to fit my front tires but haven't started on the rears yet. Is there any informational sites out...

Wanted to say thank you for adding the Buying/Pricing forum for Mahindra! I think it was much needed and I am sure it will be appreciated!

I have been mulling around the idea of a second Mahindra for taking care of the lawn. My John Deere rider is giving me fits and I see an engine rebuild in the future. So what would be the most inexpensive Mahindra option using a 3 point finish mower? Any deals going right now?

When is the dozer coming to the USA?? That arjun sure looks like an 00 series to me :). Mahindra Kisan Mitra

when I am curling the bucket I notice a 3-4 second delay for response. Does this mean there is something wrong with the control or is this a fluid issue? I don't recall what specific loader I have.

I've finally got around to getting a FEL bale spear for my quick tach on a 6500 and I get it home and the spears bolt interferes with the flat plate on my quick tach. I had bought a king kutter bale spear and I just had to return it since I didn't feel like modifying each of them. Has anyone...

what would the average price be on a 5220 4wd with loader and rear hydraulic blade go for? Has around 300 hours on it, 2003 model.

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.1 and the Mahindra ads don't work. The mouse pointer changes when you hover over them but when you click nothing happens.

Any chance you could SSL encrypt any pages that are asking for the login? Looks to me like we are all logging in in clear text fields.

Well, just as I was commenting in the alligator attacts tractor thread that wedidn't have to worry about reptiles in Iowa the worst happens. As I am doing chores last night I hear a chattering noise and I thought it was the insects in the trees, but it gets curiously louder. I look down and...

My sickle mower exploded while cutting this year so I had to hire it out to the neighbor. It is nice to have people that can help you out in a pinch. I asked him what he wanted for the work and he always said he needed to check. It has been a month or so and I'd like to have him back for the...

I just got done baling some 1800lb bales and I went to bring them in with the spears and the 3 point wont lift em. I have a 6500 4wd that is rated at 3900+ lbs on the 3pt. I checked the fluid and it is fine and I only have 70 hours on the tractor. The lock is open and the draft control has...

Those envelopes are a little hard to undestand. If I remember right in the old version the whole line was shaded yellow. Can you add that style back so it is easier to see new posts at a glance? Thanks!

I am getting a welder out of necessity as I have to fix a bracket on a JD 510 baler I picked up over the weekend. I want to be able to build implements, trailers, lots of heavy stuff. Can anyone recommend Miller vs Lincoln, what model would be best and why? I have already decided on stick for...

Hi, I am looking for a thread where someone built their own chain guard for a rotary mower. I can't seem to find it in the search. I am looking for chains and not flaps. Thanks!

10\' 3pt rotary mower with a 65hp tractor? I've got a 4wd 65hp mahindra and I am looking hard at a used 10' rotary mower for it. Is anyone using a similar HP to width setup? Soundguy weren't you saying you had a 10'? What do you think about it? It has 2 blades and 3 gearboxes complete with...

Okay you fuel gurus. Is this legit? acetone increases mileage

Old FEL, what\'s it worth? A friend of mine wants to sell this and doesn't know what to ask. Anybody know what this is worth? I don't know much about it aside from the obvious.

Well I'm tired of carrying buckets of water in the middle of winter so I'm putting a couple freeze-proof hydrants in. Here is a shot of the 6500 waiting to be put to work. Looks kinda like a scorpion dont ya think?

I have a 300 gallon tank on legs that was used for gasoline about 15+ years ago. It's been sitting empty (or mostly empty) the entire time. I'm sure there are rust flakes and other crap in there that I don't want in my diesel. What is the best way to clean this tank out for diesel use, and is...

Had an idea the other night. My bucket has a tilt guage (wire that sticks out of shoot) to indicate when it is level or tilted down or up. Has anyone ever made a gauge that would tell if you were at grade, above grade, or below grade, and how much with a loader? I was thinking attaching...

I've been bringing a 14T back to life that hasn't been used in years. When I started it was shearig bolts all the time, so I retimed it. Looked like it was going to work great and then a chain link broke and left the needles in the way of the feeder teeth. Broke off the inside needle when the...

Anyone have the Rhino SE7? How do you like it and how much did it cost you? I have a 4wd 65hp tractor and I'm looking for a 3pt rotary mower that can handle the brush. Has to be cheap though, under 2k at least.

So I've had my new tractor for a couple months now, and just got around to taking the backhoe off last night. When the dealer installed the hoe they removed the 3 point arms. They claimed it was necessary to install the hoe. I had read on this forum previously that the stabilizer or sway bars...

Just got some goodies after only having the tractor about a month. New midwest box blade and markham toothbar! Toothbar dropped off by the UPS man yesterday!

just wondered how often people use the fast dump feature on the loader? I use it occasionally, but I don't like the noise it makes. It this okay to use often, or is it just for emergency use? Might seem like a strange question, but the noise it makes almost makes you feel like you are doing...

When my 6500 was delivered it had a regular mount bucket on it. I had ordered a quick tatch skid steer compatible version, which they put on and delivered to me last weekend. Just looking at the bucket it appears to be a bit shorter and looks like it would handle less material. It lists that...

Hi, I was looking to buy a Midwest Equipment box blade but I can't find a dealer in Eastern IA. I did a search on google for the BB30-84 part # and it brought the Kioti site up. Specs are identical and dealer is close in Cedar Rapids. Do they rebrand Midwest Equipment and if so will I pay...

I just saw the post "Re-Decking a Trailer" and it made me think of a project I would like to tackle. I have an old wagon with sidewalls (think it was used for grain and a chain across the middle that holds the sides in under load. It has electric brand wagon gear, and a nice dump cylinder...

The new tractor finally arrived and I got right to work testing it out. Took some pictures for you guys! The first one is the 6500 being backed in next to my old tractors. BobG_in_VA is going to be upset with me, as I am trading in a farmall 400 and an M for the 6500 (no not even close to an...

New Jinma 6\" Chipper! Here is one of my new tools that I picked up this weekend. Really does a job on the branches. I put 4-5" material through it and it was a real champ! New tractor is due in next saturday after they install the backhoe so it'll probably work even better. The old IH 400...

Hi, I am looking at getting a Jinma Chipper and would like to see one before ordering. I can't seem to find a dealer in Iowa. Anyone know where my closest dealer would be? I am in eastern Iowa. Thanks!

I've been considering a finish mower for what I will call a UT, since it may not really be a CUT. It would be a 3pt rear discharge. The specs for my tractor state that it tips the scales at around 6200+ lbs without any options. Am I too heavy to keep from tracking up the lawn? Keep in mind...

It seems to be commonly mentioned that several Mahindra models are actually old International designs. This makes me wonder how much of the original design is in the modern Mahindra tractor. Since these designs came from the 50's-60's if I'm not mistaken, I was just curious how they were able...

Is anyone running a 6500 4WD with Cast weights on the rear tires? After much consideration and looking at my leaking M Farmall wheels in the corner of the building I decided not to go with the fluid in tires. I don't want to start a huge thread on fluid vs. weights, as I already saw that it's...

I am working on an order for the 6500 4wd with the 264 loader and I wanted the quick attach option. The dealer quoted me $4500 for this option. That seems like a lot for the small amount of parts involved. Does anyone have this, and if so, what did it cost you at the time? Thanks!
