Comparing the MF 1742 to the Mahindra 1538. I've owned a Mahjndra 3316 HST for about 8 years and it's served me well. It's time for something a little bigger and newer. My Mahindra dealer picked up the Massey line so the dealer would be the same regardless of brand. The tractors seem very...

Looking at replacing the 3316 HST with something a little newer, bigger, and with a more potent backhoe. I thought surely the 1538 was the way to go, but dealer is really pushing the 2538. I know the 1538 will be a fine tractor. 2000 hours and no problems with the 3316. Don't know much about the...

I'm in the market for a new 8 or 10 wheel v rake and 4 basket Tedder. Brands that have dealers close are Kuhn, Rhino, Hesston/MF, Case IH, Vermeer, and Enrossi. I'm sure any of the brands rakes will get the job done. The Tedder is a different story. The last thing I want is to buy a light duty...

I Have an 11 yr old Vermeer Rebel Roller that I can't get the bale to progress past making the core. It picks up hay fine and makes a nice soft core but won't progress from there. Isn't making it on into the bale chamber. Just plugs up the pickup. Baled fine last year. Stored in the barn for...

What is the proper etiquette when requesting quotes from dealers? Is it not okay to solicit a quote via email? I'm a cash buyer and would use Farm Credit Services for any financing. How long should I give dealers to reply? I've only ever dealt with one dealer and always done so face to face, but...

What are Mahindra's rates for the new year?

Scrolling around on the Mahindra website and noticed their "featured deals". Wondering if anybody has bought lately (any of these models, but especially the 5035 Pst and 8560 cab) and if this is the best you can expect to do on a deal? I'm seriously considering replacing my 6000 mfwd with the...

Kuhn has a new implement out to tedder and rake. HayBob and HayBob 360. Anyone have any experience with it? Tedder-Rake combinations - KUHN North America.com

I'm in the market for a new v rake or rotary rake and a bigger tedder. The dealer I have done most of my purchasing from in the past only has Rhino brand and only 10 wheels. I hadn't heard much about Rhino rakes in the past so I thought I'd post here. Is Rhino a good brand rake? Are others of...

Inside the power steering resevoir of my 6000 MFWD their is a filter. I've developed a leak and it's the O ring right above this filter. I can most likely find an O ring at Napa, but I thought I'd change that filter since it's a little dirty. The exploded diagrams I have access to don't show...

Until recently I was dead set on an 8560 cab for my next bigger tractor. Recently though Case IH came into the fold. I have a good Mahindra dealer and the Case IH even closer gets good reports from a neighbor. I've pretty much broken it down into: Transmission....IH....creeper 20 x 12 vs 12 x12...

Anyone have one of the new Farmall C series tractors? Saw one at the NFMS in Louisville Ky. and really like their fit. I'm comparing them to Mahindra 8560 cab. In my comparison I'm having trouble finding some specs like weight, loader capacity, length, height, turning radius, etc. I've printed...

Here's a few pics from the NFMS in Louisville of the new Max tractors....I didn't see anything different that would make these Sub-compact. IMAG0240 | Flickr - Berbagi Foto! IMAG0239 | Flickr - Berbagi Foto! IMAG0238 | Flickr - Berbagi Foto!

With the specs for the 3316 gone from the Mahindra website I have no way to compare. What exactly changed from 3316 to 3616 besides hp, tires, and loader?

I was thinking of growing a few acres of corn this summer. That would put me in the market for a good used planter. Can someone suggest some of the better makes & models and where to look? Would like to find one with plates available for larger seeds like pumpkin also.

Haven't had the backhoe on the 3316 HST since first cutting of hay. My dad helped me out and got the backhoe off and rake hooked up so I could go straight to raking. Problem is he has no idea where he put the subframe pins. Could anybody tell me what size the pins are? Am I going to be able to...

What do you think of the updated Mahindra website? Kind of disappointed to see my blog get hidden, but overall much improved.

Anyone have any idea where I might find (used) an extended bale chute and wagon hitch for a New Holland 570 square baler? I have the 1/4 turn chute if anyone needs one!

Just wondering what's the farthest anyone ever towed a square baler. One would guess that the bearing assemblies and definately the tires were not meant for long pulls.

What's the proper length range for 3316 top link. Since I got the backhoe with mine they were nice enough to leave off a top link. The Mahindra OEMs are quite expensive. Been using the 6000s in a pinch but it's time to buy one. Anyone recommend an aftermarket one of the correct length range?

Anyone with pics of the backhoe used on a 4035?

Looking for a plow and disc to pull with the 3316. I'm assuming it's a bit much to ask the 3316 to pull even a 14 2 bottom? What size disc are you guys using 5ft?

Found 2 square balers local that are within my budget. 1 is a like new MF 224 $6000 and the other is a weathered but otherwise nice NH 570 $7500. The 224 is the better looking baler. Obviously shedded and appears to have been maintained well. It is a little trip to pick it up but it's also $1500...

What model number Case IH balers will be the inline Hesston made balers?

A while back I posted with a cracked block on my 3316 Hst. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/mahindra-owning-operating/152496-15-16-series-block-cracks.html Dealer and Mahindra replaced the engine and added bracing. Since then I have religously kept my loader bolts tight. I thought the problem...

Can anyone help me out on where I might find a set of forks for the pin type quick attach for my 6000? I do not want to have to hire someone else to help with the poultyr house cleanout.

Today while using the 7010 to move some logs with the pallet forks I heard a huge pop. I was in 4wd and getting under a log when suddenly I heard a pop and the 4wd shifter jumped out of 4wd. Now when I engage the lever it will not stay. It will stay so long as your sitting still, but as soon as...

My air conditioning is on the fritz. It cools good until about 20 mins of running. After that it only blows warm air. Compressor is engaging. Filter at back of cab is clean. Belt is tight (actually new). Know very little about air systems. Anyone have any suggestions other than the obvious take...

Just wondering does anyone know the part number to change from Mahindra oil filter to Napa/Wix IF it is available? It's on a 7010 cab which should be same as 7520.

My neighbor has one of the McCormick cab tractors. It has the 500 and 1000 rpm pto one above the other. Today while mowing hay the 540 stopped turning. 1000 will turn but 540 will barely turn and can be stopped by grabbing it with gloved hand. We traced the linkage all down to a sylenoid that...

Decided to sell the middle sized Mahindra. 950 hours, loader, new clutch just a few hours ago, absolutely nothing wrong with the tractor. This is the tractor featured in the Mahindra blog. You can see lots of photos through the life of a farm blog featured on the Mahindra website. I am asking...

Went to use the 3316 HST today and it must have a stuck valve in the loader or something. It's whining and the loader is really slow. Am I correct in assuming it has something stuck in the hydraulics somehow? Backhoe works fine just the loader slow. Any suggestions on a fix?

Looking for a tiller for my 3316 HST. Wondering what brands you guys have experience with and what width a 3316 can comfortably handle.

Anyone have 8560 cab specs? Particularly height?

Anyone have the specs on the bigger 35 series? 4535 & 5035

Anyone have a line on an online supplier for tires for a NH 258 rollabar rake? Need both the 4 rib 5-15 dolly tires and the 5-15 treaded drive tires.

Any of you T700 owners care to share how many hours you have on your machine now and how it's holding up? I have 698 hours on my Mahindra 7010 (T700 with Mahindra engine), front wheels seem to be my biggest problem. Hopefully we have that fixed!

I'm in the market for a new or lightly used 85 or so hp mfwd cabbed tractor and was wondering what IH models to look at. I've seen a couple JX95s and they seem to be what I would want. Just something solid with atleast a 12 speed tranny. I'll be using the tractor for everything on our 170 acre...

Can anyone guess what model Mahindra this is? NO it's not mine. I just couldn't resist posting these. 330 on Flickr - Photo Sharing! What could cause something like this?

I see Mahindra has changed their warranty to 2 year bumper to bumper and 5 year powertrain. Also read they will be offering for purchase the new warranty for some tractors purchased previously (Oct 2008 to Sep 2009). Leaves me out in the cold on the 7010 but thinking maybe I should pick up the...

Have any of you dealers had blocks cracking where the loader subframe mounts to the engine block? My 3316 is in the shop with a cracked block where the loader subframe mounts, only 145 hours.

Loaned the neighbor my 3316 HST and he's bent the Qa plate. Seems he had the bucket half off, only on one side, somehow and pushing out and lifting up on stumps. Now one side is tilted forward and the other is straight. Seems to have twisted. Any of you dealers have a ballpark figure on...

Anyone got pics of the 60 series cabs yet? Looks like Mahindra may have let one slip just to see who is watching! Mahindra USA Tractors - Write a Review

I have a Mahindra 7010 cab with "hydraulically assisted" brakes. Just shy of 350 hours now I have no brakes. Both sides are gone. It's almost like what I have experienced in a truck with a bad master cylinder or brake booster. The pedal travels freely with just your hand the length of it's...

Here we go again. Just shy of 350 hours the 7010 now has no brakes! Any ideas? Just went from brakes would stand you on your nose to nothing. I can move the brake pedal to the floor with ease from outside the cab with my hand. All the linkage is hooked up to the back dif so it seems it's got to...

What a trying time for me. I own 3 Mahindra tractors and all 3 have been out of service lately. The clutch finally went south at 900 hours on the 6000 and it's been over 2 weeks now since I've been able to use it. Currently it sits split apart at the dealer waiting on the correct clutch. The new...

Have any of you dealers had the same problem I have had on my 7010? This is my second wheel (front) to be replaced because of cracks. I originally warrantied the first one because it was warped, but once off we saw cracks in the wheel and now the second one cracked terribly. So far Mahindra has...

Just wondering what does the insurance we are all forced to buy when we finance a tractor cover? I'm told it's physical damage insurance, but exactly what physical damage would it cover?

Anyone done a comparison of the 2615/2816 HST and the 3215/3316 HST? I've got until December 7th to make a decision on what's best for the poultry house cleanout. That or just rent this time around. Some things I've noticed as positives for the 2615/2816 is the 0%financing for 60 months and of...

I have bent the rim on the 7010. I have no earthly idea how I did it. I've hit a few holes along the way, but none that stand out as being rim benders. It's the innner rim not where the tire mounts. No marks on the wheel or the tire. Any idea how this could have happened? Surely it would take a...

What specific brand of hydraulic fluid is best for use on the 7010? We use Penzoil Hydra Trans on everything else here. Is it compatible?

Are there new 3015 HSTs left in the Mahindra pipeline? Does the 3015 HST offer anything other than more hp and bigger tires when compared to the 2615? Tractor would be coupled with the loader and a backhoe and used around the poultry farm.

What would a 2615, loader, and 3710 backhoe weigh? What other brands setups would this model be closest in comparison to? deere, kioti, nh models

Any word on the new Mahindra models that are supposed to be coming? 8560 or the new 40 hp model?

Dealers I need an online source for parts for my Mahindra 7010 which uses lots of the same TYM T700 stuff. I'm particularly looking for the balls that go in the rear lift arms and hydraulic filters at a reasonable price.

Okay dealers help me out here. I was changing the oil in the 7010 and the owners manual shows 2 fill locations. 1 top of the motor which is impossible because I don't have the 10 hours it would take to do it that way and 2 the dipstick. I took the dipstick out and did it that way this time, but...

Who's seen the new Mahindra tees? What do you think? Mahindra USA Tractors - catalog

Well I've kicked around buying new for a couple years now while shopping for the right used square baler and never finding it. Seems like now might be the time. Have a little moey from the chickenhouses and if I don't spend it on the farm Uncle Sam is going to want some of it. Has anyone ever...

I'm considering buying a small tractor for cleaning out my poultry houses. The main thing that comes into play is height. Could some of you dealers give me a height measurement with the rops folded down on the 15 series HST's? I would want industrial tires. I'm trying to decide between these...

I'll post this here since the tractor originates from TYM. I have a Mahindra 7010 that the tie rod mount broke on. After getting it back from the dealer I noticed there has been a redesign. Is this from TYM or a Mahindra thing? Obviously this has been enough of a problem for redesigning. Why no...

Well the new tie rod mount is significantly different from the old. I was going to get a pic up this morning, but it slipped my mind. I'll get one this evening. Obviously this has been a problem as the dealer has broken one on his tractor and the improved replacement is on mine. This worries me...

Well I finally did get 50 hours on the 7010. Went to my dealer and he made me a hose up to replace the one that burst. Thought I was back in business for a while. I had about 20 or so acres that I needed to get grass growing on so I hooked up the disc and started to work. Made about 5 passes...

Are FEL hoses covered under warranty? Dang if a hose aint busted now. I aint never gonna get 50 hours on that 7010.

Does a 4510 have the go to run a small disc mower? I believe it's a small Mortl brand. Seems to be it would be too much for this tractor, but I thought I'd ask. A neighbor is going to try cutting hay with his this year.

Well folks I've converted my neighbor from Deere to Mahindra. He went out and picked up a 4510 cab. Now he has a problem. He has a 3 pt scissor lift bale spear that he used with his old Deere. The 4510 won't lift a 1000# roll with the scissor lift. I'm talking about a 3 pt bale spear that is...

Got the o ring for the loader valve today and now I can't put my hands on my owners manual. Anyone know the proper type fluid and where to fill / check the hydraulic fluid? Are the transmission and hydraulics together?

Hey TYM dealers I have a Mahindra 7010 cab. Recently I went to get a couple of category 2 balls for the 3 point lift arms at my Mahindra dealer and was amazed at the price. I was just wondering how much I could get these from TYM for since they are a TYM part. TYM part #17525252500

I need an o ring for the loader valve of my 7010 cab Mahindra. According to KMW the proper O ring would be 3/4 ID and one hundred thousands thick. Anyone recommend a supplier?

What's the latest on the 8560? Have they had it at any farm shows yet? Have they come up with a solid availability date yet? Anyone with pics? Heading for the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville Ky in a couple weeks and hoping they'll have it there.

The new 7010 has sprung a leak. Hydraulic fluid is pouring out of a bolt in the loader valve block. The bolt is plenty tight. It seems as though the gasket or O ring beneath the bolt is faulty. On the outside of the valve block there are 2 what seem to be plugs. They are about 3/4". The bottom...

I've got a couple of pins on my loader that I can't get to take grease. I've replaced the zirk, but no luck. What kind of tricks are there for getting it taking grease again?

What options are available for aiding cold weather starting on the 7010? Plug in block heater? Kentucky rarely gets below 0 but their is a fair amount of time that is in the teens in winter.

I've been square baler shopping for about a year now. I'm having trouble finding anything that suits me at what I consider a decent price. This, along with current financing incentives has me looking at new. This opens a whole other can of worms. Inline or traditional? Rates are slightly better...

Who's seen the tractors from Mahindra China? Saw some small ones on my dealers lot this week. I believe they were the ES series. I hope this is not where Mahindra is headed. They were crude to say the least. Anyone know what Mahindra has planned with these?

Do tractor dealers pay tax on inventory at years end like car dealers do?

Just wondering if buying a tractor is like buying a car where you can get year end deals. Do tractor dealers pay tax on their inventory like car dealers? My reason for asking is a 7010 like I've been wanting for 2 years now is on the dealers lot. Seems the universe is talking to me. Maybe I can...

Wondering how you find out the current financing rates on NH hay equipment without making a trip to the dealer? Looking at buying a new small square baler.

I'm looking for a sickle type mower conditioner to back up my disc mower and for times when I know I will want to square bale. I'd be pulling it with about a 65 pto hp tractor. What brands and models have the best reputation? Do any manufacturers still offer the sickle type new?

I'm looking for my next tractor. It must be 4x4 with cab, loader, and atleast a 12 forward speed tranny. I'll use this tractor for general farm work, but mostly cutting and rolling 4x4 rolls of hay with my Vermeer rebel roller (which I may replace with new JD 4x4). Is the 5325 up to the task or...

What do all you IH folks think about the new Craig Morgan single International Harvester? I think it's cool and I don't even have an IH.

Just wondering what you folks thought about advertising and tractors. Do you think it plays a significant role in sales? Do you think it is important for a manufacturer to make available apparel with their logo on it? I wonder how many people out there bought a Deere or other major brand just...

I've been kicking around buying a new cab tractor for the last year and a half. Now I'm in a position to make it happen. When comparing brands what are some things I should compare between the brands cabs. Seems like someone mentioned the glass might be stronger on some than others. How about...

Anyone know what's going on with the T700? Is it being discontinued? I heard that it was a year ago, but I continue to see it in all 3 of it's versions.

Just wondering what folks were hearing about new models coming from Mahindra? I hear they will release a new, bigger, cab tractor at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville Ky in Februrary. Any dealers want to share any more information with us?

Recebtly been searching for the best deal on a new or used square baler and 70+ hp mfwd cab tractor. I have run across a new JX 85 with bush hog loader sitting on a struggling dealers lot. His first price was $37,000. I'm sure I can do a little better than that. I cannot find this model on the...

In my search for a good square baler i have happened upon a New Holland 311. Don't know anything about New Holland. Is this model reasonably fast and dependable? I'm wanting something comparable to a MF 224. What's a fair price for one used in good condition?

Guys i happened on a used MF 224 sitting in a neighbors barn with 2 flat tires that is for sale. He says it's not tying. What are the most likely culprits? I thought if i could get this thing cheap I'd take it. I looked at it and everything looks new. Even the paint on the pickup hasn't worn...

I noticed a used 700 hour Mahindra 7010 cab with loader on the local Deere dealers lot. It's obviously been used a little rough. I noticed a splice in the wiring underneath the tractor and the tires have some hunks out of them. It's pretty dirty inside too. I can buy new for around $34000 with...

Well it seems the 46 has finally bitten the dust. I bent a needle (side closest to pickup) and can't see spending a lot of money to fix it given it's age. Would anyone have an idea of where I might find a used one?

Has anyone heard of any problems with the lining on the 00 series fuel tank? I heard a rumor the other day that some of the 00 series is having fuel tank lining problems. I'd especially like to hear from dealers who have these out in service. Personally mine has pretty close to 600 hours and no...

I hear Mahindra is set to add a new line of implements to their stable. Any dealers want to elaborate?

Anyone know if MF has plans to show the 3600 series at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville Ky? I don't see MF listed, but Agco has several different displays. Surely one of them is MF.

Who's gonna be at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville Ky? I see Mahindra USA has a display in the West Wing 5039. Anyone know if they have any new products to show?

Looking for a good set of plows and a disc for my 6000. See lots of used stuff in pretty good condition, but is anybody making it new anymore or has no till taken over? I have an IMC bush hog I believe at one time they made plows? Anyone know if they have a website?

What year did New Holland takeover or merge with Case IH? The reason for my question is I am shopping for a replacement square baler and I was trying to pin point at what year i will be looking at a New Holland made baler and when they were the Case IH made baler. I currently have an old IH...

Are Case IH balers the same as New Holland? We are shopping for a newer square baler. Have an old IH 46 that still bales great just slow so I thought I might give IH a look.

Has anyone priced the new 3635 or 3645 in a cab platform 4wd? With FEL? With 12 x 12 shuttle tranny? These are some good looking tractors.

TYM planning on releasing any bigger cab tractors than the T700? If so time frame? Engine?

Just wondering if any of you dealers have heard anything of a bigger cab tractor coming from Mahindra? If so time frame? Also wondering just how many 7010 cabs are left? It is my understanding that TYM was set to discontinue them this year.

Just wondering what most of you Mahindra folks thought about Mahindra t shirts helping them advertise? I know Mahindra monitors this site and was looking for a creative way to let them know that more shirts, hats, etc. will help them be noticed. I just get sick of seeing how Deere has so many...

The old saying must be true that nothing runs like a deere. I hear they went running and crying about some advertising Mahindra has done. Specifically the deere john ad. Seems to have forced Mahindra to pull it. What a shame it was a great peice of work!

Is anyone involved in active poultry farming? A local company is soliciting farms to build chickenhouses for both hen and pullet operations (Cobb). I was kind of looking for some input from someone who has been involved in this before.

Was taking the kids to the fair the other day and noticed a guy rolling hay with a Mahindra 4500 2wd (no loader) and a Vermeer Rebel 4ft roller. I was amazed! I had to stop and watch. Didn't seem to be having a bit of trouble doing 4x4s.

Are Mahindra loaders still outsourced? If so who makes them now? Seems like when I bought my 6000 the dealer said you might get a KMW loader and you might get a Great Bend.

Anyone have any first hand experience with long term use of the T700 for agricultural purposes? I am considering one for our Farm (looking at all 3 variables, Montana, TYM, Mahindra), but I cannot find anyone who has used thee tractors for this purpose long term. I have been told it is not...

In talking to a farmer local he told me that he trades his equipment every 4 to 5 years (to new) because he can trade as cheap as he can keep the old going and seldom has to worry about a breakdown. Looks like he would lose a bundle on trading. I can see he would'nt have to worry about...

I just love the new Mahindra "Deere John" ad! When are we gonna be able to get it on some T shirts? When I go to events around here I see all kinds of John Deere stuff, but very little of other brands and absolutely no Mahindra. I wonder how much the availability of such affects the sales to...

Looking for a cab tractor , but don't want to spend the money for the new 25 series. Could someone point me to some specs on a 5420 mfwd cab model along with the loader specs? I am comparing a used 5420 (assuming I could find one) to new TYM built Mahindra 7010. Can get the Mahindra new for...

Was at the dealer today to get some parts. (Front marker light and hydraulic filter mount) Was pleasantly surprised at their cost. ($19.99 light and $42.86 filter mount) How do Mahindra parts costs compare to Deere and others?

Well the shaft on the disc mower went boom today, ate up the yoke, scattered the bearing. Drove 3 hours, finally got the parts, put the shaft back together and dang if I can't remember which end is which. One end has an overrunning clutch, the other is just a regular u joint. Which end goes...

I read that TYM is offering 0% interest on the same tractor as the 7010 cab Mahindra for 60 months. Anyone know if Mahindra is going to follow suit, since it is after all the same tractor (different engine)? 3.99% for 60 months is a good rate, but 0% is even better.

Looking within the next year to upgrade to a cab tractor in the 70hp range. I run a Vermeer rebel roller and plan to be doing some custom haying, fertilizer spreading, and general work around our 170 acres. I will want a FEL and must have mfwd. Got quotes of $36000 and $37000 on the Mahindra...

Around here there are just a couple people who spread ag lime and they use a truck. You can rarely get lime spread. I haven't been able to locate a pull behind spreader even for rent. I'm sure someone manufactures them that you pull behind a tractor. Could someone point me in the right...

Not wanting to reply to the post that is being kept going about some Mahindra's being nothing but trouble and having a question that pertains to where it ended up I thought I'd start a new post. I noticed that a dealer I visited recently had some t shirts printed with the Mahindra logo and his...

I'm thinking of trading up and getting a cab tractor. I plan to be rolling 400-500 4x4 rolls of hay as well as sqaure baling a couple thousand (no kicker or thrower maybe a wagon) . I would use my tractor for everything on the farm (170 acres). As you can tell by my profile I'm in SE Ky where...

Anyone got a price on a dk65 cab 4wd lately? Comparing it to Mahindra/TYM 7010. Price on 7010 was $36100 with hay spear and pallet forks.

Just wondering how many hours it takes on a new tractor on the dealers lot to make it used? Demo? How many is the most you would consider it new? 25 hours? 50?

Drove the 7010 cab today and talked money on it. Dealer said he will sell for $36100. A bit higher than the $34000 range I expected. The real kicker was when I told him I'd have to trade in my 6000 and asked what he thought it was worth. His reply was he'd trade for $21100. That's only $15000...

Hey 7520 owners could you tell me how you like your engine? I am comparing the 7010 with the Mahindra engine basically the same as the 7520 engine and the TYM/Montana that use the deere engine. Just wanted to know the good and the bad about the engine. Fuel consumption? Power? Noise/Vibration...

In researching the 7010 cab I started checking specs against the 7520. Is this the same engine just a different hp rating? Maybe tweaked just a bit? Engine is same cubic inches and compression ratio. I gather they are both turbo. I'm almost ready to try to broker a deal the only thing holding me...

Is the 7010 cab made by Mahindra or TYM? I see it is identical to the new Montana 70 series. What's the difference? Montana has Deere engine while 7010 has Mahindra? What else?

Anyone know of a natural wasp repellant? We bought an old log house and the wasps are everywhere in the attic bedroom. Need some sort of repellant that is safe around kids.

Wondering if any of you guys think the Montana's are up to rolling hay? We use a Vermeer Rebel roller that is rated for 40hp. Any real world stories of folks actually using a tractor as small as the 5740 Cab for hay? We have been talking about getting a cab tractor, keep trying to decide...

When\'s turbo technology coming? India's first turbo tractor Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, India's No I tractor manufacturer, launched in Chennai its latest offering, the first Indian tractor with turbo technology the 'Mahindra Sarpanch 595 Di Super Turbo'. Developed specifically to meet the...

Anybody got a line on Mahindra tees, hats, and the like? You see everything in the world for deere but little for the other brands. There is more than one brand somebody ought to be printing Mahindra stuff.

Is the 448 hoe enough better to negate the purchase of a different tractor for $5k more? We have been looking at tractor mount backhoes for a small backhoe buisiness for things like digging graves and stump removal or just general jobs the big guys wouldn't bother with and to use on our farm...

We are considering trading tractors and have not ruled out getting another Mahindra. We would be trading in our 03 6000 4x4 with fel. What would be considered a good trade in? We would either be trading up to a 7010 cab with a fel or in on a 4110 4x4 with fel and a bradco 511 backhoe. Our...

Anyone have a link to specs on the jd backhoes all I can find is features?

What financing options are available for new tractor purchases? Local bank is not one I would deal with as they will only go 54 months and at 12%. I know about agricredit as we used the free intrest they offered 2 years ago on the Mahindra we bought. Can you trade on tractors like you can on...

When I picked up my 6000 from the dealer the other day I noticed the beast and wondered about the price. Owner of the shop and evidently the only one who can price the tractors since I would trade mine in wasn't there so I couldn't get a price. What's good price on it with the fel and 4x4?

I am looking at the 990 mfwd with a 300CX loader, but cannot find out what the lift capacity of the loader is. Will it lift 4x4 rolls?

Anyone have an idea of what the ground speed on a 5105/5205 mfwd would be in lowest gear possible? Tilling is one of the things I want to do with my new tractor and have read posts that these tractors are not good tilling tractors.

I have been looking at the 05 series and have picked up on some threads that said it wasn't a great tilling tractor. Too fast in first gear? No creeper gear opition? That being said I was wondering if someone could tell me how these tractors would do with a 90" tiller? and exactly how fast is...

Well after getting the tractor back last week and thinking everything was gonna be okay the hydraulics are crazy again. Stuck in the up position! Talked to the mechanic at the dealer today and he said it's because the lever has been pushed too far down and that puts too much stress on the pump...

Got my tractor back after having trouble with the hydraulics not wanting to lower. Thought I would pass on what they said was the culprit. Seems that if the draft control lever gets moved past the stops at either end it will push a piston out of a sleeve somewhere and the hydraulics will not be...

Anyone have the weight for a 990 4wd with fel?

I raised my bushhog up on the back of the 6000 and now it won't go back down. Any ideas what could be wrong? Only 358 hours and it won't start by the key again and now the hydraulics. To add insult to injury the dealer said he couldn't come here and even trouble shoot what was wrong. I'll have...

Anyone check out the current issue of hobby farm? They had an article in there about small sqaure balers. They had the 2 agco offerings and one fromm deere and one from new holland. Now since I was considering buying a new or slightly used one I read up. I was just wondering what would the...

Anyone bought one of the new 7010 cab tractors? How bout an update? What would one pay for these things with a fel and 4x4? Should be a substantial increase in power from the 6000 I own. Who makes the engines? Daedong? What about the height at drawbar compared to 00 series? Someone suggested it...

Just wondering if anybody out there is using the dk65 to roll hay. Think it would handle a 4' roller and the cab?

I been toying with the idea of replacing my Mahindra 6000 with another tractor preferably one with a cab 4x4 and a loader. Looked at the 5400 and 4300 series online. Particularly 5435,5445 and 4325,4335,4345. Anyone out there using any of these models to roll hay? I have a Vermeer 4' wide...

Clutches on Mahindra's warrantied? How long? My warranty is upposed to be 3 years however they only warrantied the hose on the fel for one year.

I am currently running a Mahindra 6000 4x4 and thinking of trading. Was wondering what the dk65 cab models are fetching? Also I know I have a daedong engine in the Mahindra, how does the dk65 engine compare to the engine in the 6000 or 6500?

What\'s fair trade in value? What would fair trade in value be on my 04 6000 4x4 with great bend loader and 250 hrs on it? Only normal wear. A few scratches and such.

After not using the tractor much lately started it today and was hooking up the buhhog. Any time I put much of a strain on it taking off it squeals like crazy. By that I mean anytime you have any rpms at all and let out on the clutch it squeals. What could be the problem?

Was lifting a log with my fel yesterday evening when my left tilt cylinder hose exploded. Are hoses covered under warranty? I'll have the hose made instaed of buying one from Mahindra if it's not gonna be covered under warranty. I refuse to buy anything from the dealer I bought the tractor from...

Anyone selling Mahindra parts online? I'm not gonna deal with the dealer I bought my tractor from. I am in particular needing the steel power steering line (bottom) that goes into the side of the actuator on my 6000. I will also be buying the filters for services and whatever else I need.

Just wondered if anybody out there has tried sqaure baling with the 4110? I'd like to have a smaller tractor and the dealer tells me the 4110 is what I'd want. I'm still not convinced I will by another Mahindra, but am glad to say they have fixed all my problems. I know most are gonna say you...

Well I was starting to think I'd been too hard on Mahindra and they had all my problems worked out. Then today I got on the tractor to move some brush into a pile and it won't start with the key again. Didn't have enough time to start tracing out what might be the problem just drug out the...

Came home from work this evening and thought I'd do a little mowing. Hooked up the hog, got in the feild where I wanted to mow and the pto shaft will not turn. You can turn it by hand and the bushhog turns free and the selector is in 540. The pto just will not engage. I am growing so tired of...

Is there a site to find out list prices on Kubota tractors? Or a dealer that posts prices? Particularly M series? M 4900? Been looking at the 4900 4wd with fel. Two different brands, one is a bushhog brand the other kubota. Both gearstatic trannies.

Considering selling the Mahindra 6000 I have and getting a 4900 4x4 with fel. Was wondering if anybody out there was using this or similar tractor for haying? In particular is this thing gonna handle a disc mower ok? How bout my Vermeer roller? I plan on doing very few rolls next year mostly...

I am looking into getting set up to handle sqaure bales of hay by myself in large numbers. I am challenged by a couple of things. The first is money. It would have to be something that would be cheap enough to warrant purchase. After all why even bother if there is no profit? Second is height...

As I described in a previous post, the pin that holds the steeering actuator to the frame of the tractor fell out due to the roll pin backing out on my 6000 4x4. The dealer must be getting tired of fooling with me because he has raised his service call charge $15 each time he has come out to...

Wondered if anybody else out there has had any trouble with the steering on the 6000? The pin that is held in by a roll pin and mounts the actuator to the frame fell off after the roll pin backed out. Thank goodness I was in the feild not on the highway when I discovered I could not steer. I had...

Anyone out there making aftermarket or factory canopies that fasten to the rops for Mahindras yet? I got a 6000 and sure would like the shade til they get a cab model my way to roll hay with.

What would you say would be a fair price on a 5420 MFWD cab tractor with FEL? Also on a 328 sqaure baler? Noticed a new shipment on the local JD dealers lot and they are supposedly under new management, though I might try to strike a deal with them. Been wanting a cab tractor bad.

When should we expect to see a 60 + hp (big enough to roll hay) tractor with a cab on dealers lots?

Been looking at used sqaure balers and ran across a MF 224 that's been sitting in a neighbors barn for 6 or 8 yrs. Was wondering what kind of a reputation for speed and reliability these balers have? Also what years they were made, he said he can't remember what year it is. Is this baler going...

We are considering the startup of a small excavating buisiness to do things in places the big backhoes can't get, e.g. graveyards. It seems everyone here is using the deeres. Do they have an advantage in the backhoe dept.? I'm looking at the 35-40 hp range. I have a Mahindra 6000 now and would...

I'm considering trading down to the 4110 from my 6000 and getting the backhoe attachment. Kind of switching away from farming to excavation. My question is I have an 80" tiller and a few other attachments for my 6000 that I have serious doubts the 4110 will handle. For instance the 7ft bushhog...

How do you know how much to take off of the shaft on a new tiller? All the dealer said was make sure you trim that thing or you'll tear up the tiller. I would think it would be common sense. Just making sure it is long enough to not be in a bind when down and tilling but short enough to raise...

Certain brands and attachments over time develop a reputation as being the best you can buy. I was wondering what you folks consider the best (most reliable, best knotting, fastest) small sqaure baler available to a guy today?

I bought a new Mahindra 6000 with FEL a few months back and was wondering if I had to sell or trade how much has it depreciated? I know with new cars they depreciate greatly after you drive them off the lot, pretty much regardless of mileage. My tractor is basically in the same condition as...

I have developed a problem when starting my new tractor. It just turned 30 hrs and when I go to start it I have to try three or four times. It will just click the first few times and then finally start. I've been pushing dead pine trees and brush could I have knocked something loose?

Can't seem to get into Mahindras website and dealers closed today, so thought Id ask some of you. Does Mahindra offer a backhoe attachment for the 6000? Been cleaning up some land and a backhoe sure would come in handy. Anyone cleared land with theirs? It's amazing how much these things will...

I pressure washed the tractor today since I got it pretty muddy and the durn paint started coming off the wheels and the steering stabilizer. Anyone else have this happen? Geuss it could be a lot worse. Guy down the road bought a new Deere and he had to send it back because his engine was...

Anyone own a International Machine Company (IMC) rotary cutter? They seem to be a heavy enough unit. I bought one today for $1350. 7ft, twin tail wheels, lift type. How did I do?

I was reading my owners manual and it says my new tractor should be broken in pulling half loads. It gives a half loaded trailer as an example. Now since that is absolutely not gonna happen, since there isn't a half loaded trailer around. So I just wondered what did you guys do to break yours...

I have an old Bush Hog brand 5 ft rotary cutter that has become too small for my needs. I want to replace it with something as tough as it is. Who makes the toughest rotary cutters out there? I want something to cut mostly hay feild edges and fence rows, but tough enough to cut small saplings. I...

What size tractor should I be looking at to rake hay with and tedd hay with? We're looking at doing hay on a commercial basis and want more than one tractor going at a time. I was thinking of an 8 wheel hydraulically folded hay rake and a 17ft or so hydraulically folded tedder. How much HP and...

No not a Jimmy Buffet song. Come Monday I will be the proud owner of a new Mahindra. I went with the 6000 4x4 with a FEL, QA Plate, and a bale spear. I also picked up a new Vermeer Rebel 504 round baler and a new 8ft cut disc mower. Now I've got to get out and beat the bush and find some more...

Anyone know the list on a new 6500 4X4 w/ FEL?

What\'s a fair price on a 6000 4x4? What would be a fair price toay on a 6000 4x4 with loader? How much is fair on quick attach plate and bale spear? $23200 too much? If so tell me where I can buy cheaper. I'm in KY, but will make a trip to save money!

I am trying to decide on a haying tractor and have come down to Mahindra. My dad and I put up about 5000 sqaure bales of hay a year now with a MF 135 and an old international 46 sqaure baler. We are looking at tractors without knowing for sure if we can justify moving up to round rolls or just...

If you were buying a new tractor for rolling hay, a new hay roll baler, and a new disc mower what would they be? I'm leaning toward Mahindra 5500 4wd, Vermeer Rebel, and Fort First Choice Disc Mower. Combination sound like a winner? Gonna cost about $36,000.

My dad and I are looking at buying a new tractor and possibly new haying equipment and wondered about the new tax laws. A dealer came to look at my old Ferguson the other day to take in on trade and he started talking about how all the folks that could afford it were buying new because they...

What\'s my 53 Ford Jubilee worth? I will be trading in my old Ford on a new tractor or selling it and wondered what you thought it was worth. Body is rough. Engine and 12 volt charge system are in good shape. Have added an over running clutch to the pto so something doesn't push you around...

Anyone have any experience with M&W hay rollers? There are a couple dealers here that sell them but I have not heard anything about them good or bad. Does anyone out there own or sell these balers? Tell me about them!

Any internet dealers out there that list prices on their Kubotas?

Anyone want to recommend any good used tractor sites before I go and buy new?

Anyone know of any internet dealers for Mahindra that list prices? The local dealer is way high on his prices.I'd like to be able to go in and say look I can buy this for $. I'm looking at the 5500 4x4 and the 6000 4x4. For general farm work and rolling hay! He wants $19000 for a 4110.

Ive taken a huge leap and decided to replace all our aging hay equipment and had a few questions. How much weight and HP do you say it takes to round roll hay with the 4ft rollers? How much weight and HP would you say it takes to safely sqaure bale with just the baler? I will be buying new and...

Don't know much about a disc mower except that everyone here is using them and basics on how they work and nothing about a drum mower. What are the advantages disadvantages of each? I plan to buy one or the other to replace my sickle mower. What particular brands do you recommend? I think Ive...

Ive been shopping for tractors for a few months now and this is the first look I've taken at the green machines. I was swayed by the addage that they were too expensive. Then I stumbled across the web site and saw a 990 is priced at $15449. So I'm here to ask you all will it fill my needs. I...

I was qouted $18800 for a 4110 4x4 with a FEL. This sound right? Think I can beat that price?

Boy I got alot of reaction on my last post thank you to all for your responses. Maybe I should be a little more specific about my plans. I want to be able to put up 500 small 4x4 rolls of hay per year. I currently sqaure bale. I am shopping Kioti and Mahindra around 45 engine horsepower. Both...

I am shopping tractors with the hope of being able to put up about 500 4x4 rolls of hay per year. I wondered if any of you out there are doing this and with what size tractor, with how much strain on the tractor, and with how much ease? I was origanally looking at compact tractors, but it seems...

I'm shopping tractors with the future hope of putting up about 500 4x4 rolls of hay per year and wondered if anyone out there is currently doing this and with what tractor, how fast, and with how much strain on the tractor. I keep hearing weight is the key and the Mahindra's sure have that.

There seems to be a notion out there that the small 4ft round rollers are actually operable and safe with a small tractor that only has 35 pto hp. Is this so? I want to buy a tractor that I will be able to run one of these small rollers with in the future, so I don't want to go too small. If you...

Kioti 1590 72" bucket, Kioti 1470 66" bucket, or Rhino 2409 60" or 72" bucket? I have settled on a DK 45 4wd tractor. I really wasn't wanting to go too much wider than the tractor which is 61". It will be used for lifting dirt, grading the driveway, small round roll lifting, and cleaning up...

Just wondering if there were any links to find the MSRP on a 45 hp or so 4wd? I was almost sold on a KIOTI, but my dad pointed out how well the 53 Ford Jubilee we have has lasted and thinks we should look at New Holland if they are in the same price range.

I think I have decided to become a member of the KIOTI club. I live in SE KY and wondered if anyone out there had done any dealing with dealers in my area and would recommend them or not. I am willing to travel say 100 miles if need be to find a good dealer. Also wondered if anyone had done...

I have a 1975 Massey Ferguson 135 and was wondering what are the specs on it? Weight, HP, PTO HP, etc.. I am buying a new tractor and will use this as a comparison. I want something that will do all the 135 will and run a FEL, and a Backhoe. Thinking of starting a small backhoe service.

I'm leaning real heavy toward a Kioti tractor and I just wondered what's the smallest one you'd feel comfortable sqaure baling with? No hay wagon, just the baler. Definately gonna be a 4wd. Most all land is flat or slightly rolling with a few steep places. I am currently doing all my hay work...

I am in the market for a medium sized 4wd tractor with the backhoe attachment and I just wondered which one you think is best. There are so many dealers/brands to choose from. I'll use my new tractor for general hobby farm work and thought of starting a small backhoe service to do stuff like...

I'm shopping for a 4wd 45 or so hp tractor for general farm work and sqaure baling hay. I need help deciding between a Mahindra and a Kioti. So feel free to throw in your 2 cents worth.

Well it will soon be time to return the borrowed LK3054 to my dad's friend and it leaves a big hole in me. So my question. I am considering buying a medium sized 4 wheel drive tractor with a backhoe and just wondered is the DK 45 gonna have any more digging power than the little LK?
