Like I said I purchased this machine just because I was bored and like tractors. Did lot of research on the net about machines. I now got so much lawn business to do it is not fun any more. I now able to pick the clean lots to the dirty lots. Mahindra is a very good tractor. I do lot of Code Complaints for the city. I live in san antonio texas and every contractor that does grass cutting now has a mahindra. Larger then the one I got but I keep up with every one. I love my machine and I love working on it. This winter I will give it a complete make over. I change the oil every 50 hours. I do very well maintenace on it. It deserves it for what it goes thru with me. I guess I am going to go out and buy a bigger mahindra to cut the 15 plus acres lots I do. 2615 handles it but little hard. I mean grass that is 15 feet and higher and this is no lie. These lots can not be walked because you do not know what kind of creature is in there waiting for you. I have learned a lot since I first purchased it and do not tear it up as much being new to driving farm tractors. So my new bush hog should last a life time. Mahindra is tough!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! I have found a solution. I have a piece of crap mahindra that got hot every 5 minutes of bush hogging. The radiator for one needs to be moved forward halfway. Remove the battery from the radiator area and mount it up front like mine. Put a blower in it that is going to shoot air towards the front of the grill. Kubota has this design. The fan on the engine is still installed blowing air for the engine. I will modify your tractor for 800.00 to not get hot anymore.
I have a much cheaper solution, its called routine maintenance,
Just like you said on that same day, August 28

I have the same overheating problem with mine only when I get in tall grass and fine debris blows up into the radiaor fins. You need to blow the radiator fins out and keep the screen clean that slides out. Pull the screen starit up without shaking any debris onto bottom of radiator because when you start the engine that fine dust on the bottom will get sucked into the fins of the radiator. I also put an extra radiator net around my whole tractor to catch a lot of this debris when bushhogging tall grass. My tractor runs alot in the red after cutting very tall grass and geting it clogged. This can cause a warped head in the future or blown head gasket.
No problem for me as I am a very fast good mechanic. I will be adding a electric radiator fan to the front of the radiator and will post photos. Right now I am changing axle seals out because of wire that got caught up in the axle. Photos of axle removal on link.
