5155 Owner's Update:
So, I've had my 5155 for a few months now, and have been working it hard on my property clearing trees. I bought 12 acres initially, nice rectangle property, with a nice stream along the west property line. We are building our "retirement" home (just retired from the Army) and a little hobby farm. My implement I use the most is my Mahindra Grapple. That thing just works! I keep all the zeus fittings greased, and the tractor has run flawlessly. I am getting close to 40 hours of run time on it, starting to consider the first fluid change. What advise can you give, as to how to service it? Should I do all the fluids myself or have my dealer do the first service? I have the Mahindra extended warranty on it, but the tractor has been a dream so far.
Very easy to operate. The Long 3rd Function kit words my grapple like a champ! Still learning how to get the most from my Box Blade, but I'm getting there.
I plan to keep this tractor for a VERY long time.
Oh, by the way, I just picked up another 25.6 acres adjoining my existing 12 acres... so, this tractor will see a ton of light forestry work.
How many hours do you recommend the first fluid change?
Thanks again for all the advice on this thread. These new Mahindra 5145/5155 tractors are work horses!
Cheers!
