I have purchased the valve and now have to buy fittings and hoses. In most of the diagrams that I have seen it shows that the 3rd function valve being installed after the loader valve. My plan was to remove the power beyond hose from the loader valve, install it into the 3rd function valve...

Hi Folks.....I have to remove the plastic shroud covering the user area beneath the steering wheel. I did find that there is a bolt located under a rubber flap under the steering wheel. Is there any other fasteners or tricks that I should be aware of so that I do not break the plastic keepers?

Got the new hydraulic top link working. I won't miss hopping off of the tractor to make adjustments. I purchased three foot hoses, so now I will just cut them down to size to make it look a littler neater.

Well I have certainly been giving the 3016 a workout lately as I have been clearing forest to allow for space to build a new garage. After 2 hours digging out an ash stump with the backhoe it finally came free. The backhoe wasn't powerful enough to pull the stump out of the hole so I tried...

I have a 3016 with a backhoe. My question is can I connect my log splitter hoses to the fittings that I normally connect the backhoe to?

I plan on doing the 100 hour service tomorrow. Tonight I went out to have a look at where the HST filter is located. For those of you have replaced this filter, did you find that it was easy enough to remove from beneath the tractor, or did you remove the right rear wheel?

I am starting to look for a trailer to tow my 3016. Does anyone happen to know the weight with a FEL and backhoe mounted?

I noticed near the end of last year and then again this weekend that it is tough to get the gear lever to go where I want it to go. This weekend in particular it would freely move between neutral and low, however, it took quite a bit of fiddling to get it to move into Medium. The tractor only...

I received a letter from Mahindra yesterday indicating that there is recall on my 3016HST. Apparently some portion of the upper lift arms "have not been machined to specification". The dealer also called to arrange a time to make the necessary repairs.

I am hoping an experienced owner or dealer can answer my question. I have a 3016hst and the manual mentions hydrostatic and hydraulic filters. Does this tractor have one of each or is there only one filter?

Okay....I give up, and have to ask. I have 4 different oil filter wrenches including the Fram that fits on and you use a ratchet. This thing won't come off. The engineer who chose the placement of this filter should have his iron ring taken away. It is in such a miserable location it is very...

It has taken some time to get the tractor down to the lake front due to the amount of trees and terrain. I have spent a fair amount of time clearing out juniper bushes, large rocks, and trees to get the tractor down to this part of the property. In celebration I took a picture and because I...

I am looking for some help. I am a tractor newbie and this week realized what a PITA changing rear implements is. I looked to TBN for a solution and came across threads citing the awesomeness of Pat's Easy Change System. Today when looking at the 3 point hitch lifting arms I noticed that they...

Well the dealer delivered my new 3016 on Friday night. As this is my first tractor he did spend quite a bit of time with me ensuring that I was comfortable with all of the controls. I did spend some time on Saturday and Sunday moving logs....I haven't tried the backhoe yet, but I guess that I...

Well it looks like I get my new 3016 tomorrow. I have to drop into the dealer to take care of the paper work and then he is going to load it onto a trailer and make the 1.5 hour drive up north to deliver it to the cottage. I have found this tractor buying experience different than any other...

I spoke with my dealer today and he told me that he now has the tractor, loader, and backhoe at his location. (Dealer owns multiple dealerships) He has ordered what he needs to install a rear remote. While I currently don't have a need for this remote, I feel as though I may need it in the...

Hello TBNers, I have been reading for a few days as I expect to be purchasing a new tractor within the next month. Reading the various threads has assisted me in making my purchasing decision. I have decided on the Mahindra 3016 as it seems the perfect size for what I want to do now and...
