so was it the welds that failed? It was hard to tell from the picture but it did look like it was the welds.
Like mentioned above, the Mahindra 75B is a Bradco 509.
I recently refabbed a Bradco 509 that was off a New Holland TN75 to fit my Mahindra 3550, exactly what Gasifier has.
The factory Bradco welds were complete crap. Fast and Cold. Zero root/joint penetration.
So I can see this happening.
It's not a Mahindra issue, the hoe is Bradco 509 with red paint and stickers.
Glad they covered it.
Yes. Looks like the welds failed, and I was digging a stump when it happened so it only took a split second to bend the steel after the weld failed.
It didn’t appear to be much weld there either.
