Mine..... So far. I don't abuse it, but I use it as a tool, not a toy that I have to ***** foot around in and wonder if something is going to break the first time I pick up something over 20lbs or if one wheel suddenly gets traction. Honestly, if my salesman had told me that I woulda turned and walked away.
A couple of things here, The sales man that said to be careful was a Kubota salesman and it was with a smaller tractor. As far as the OP's Mahindra 3215 breaking, stuff happens to ALL makes and models. I have the a 3215 tractor as one of my tractors. It is ballasted to 5,000lbs which is what the owners manual says is the max weight to run. I work the tractor to it's limits at times, I always work it in 4x mode. (can't understand how anyone can get anything done in 2WD) No problems as yet. Now working the tractor to it's limits does not mean that I abuse it, just work it to the point that it can do no more.
