Great Tractor
Model Year: 2008

I have had this tractor for six years. I purchased it new with a front-end loader and bush hog. I use a 5' box blade and a grader blade with it as well. I have been about as rough on a tractor as could be. I also load round bails for my horses. I have bush hogged just about anything I can back over trying to clear my property. The only thing I have ever had to do was replace the tie rod because I ran over a stump. Great tractor, just wish I had a larger one.

Pros: Just a great small tractor and tough
Cons: None

I was skeptical at first but I am no longer a nay sayer. 6 stars for value!
Model Year: 2011

I use my tractor to it's fullest capacity most every time I am on it. I mow about 3.5 ac with a 5 ft mounted mower, have moved countless yards of dirt and gravel (built a new garage/shop 2 yrs ago)with the loader and plow snow covering about 1/4 ac with a 5 ft mounted blade. I also have used it to rototill and haul many loads of ash tree trimmings and fire wood with a homemade 4X8 trailer. I love the quick attach loader (have taken it on and off 3X in the same day). If I get rid of this tractor it will be for another Mahindra period.

Pros: Features vs money can't be beat, good on fuel, plenty of power for size and weight of tractor.
Cons: After replacing the starter relay 2 times at $57 I replaced the relay with a high amp capcity momentary switch end of problem.

Hydraulics for Mahindra Tractor
Model Year: 2009

I have been looking for some one who knows about the hydraulics of the 2615 tractor. I wanted to add a stump grinder to tractor. So I bought the stump grinder and extra joy stick and hydraulic lines. I installed them and unit worked, but not as I would like. The front end loader and back joy stick have to be used together in order to lift the loader or raise the back 3-point hook up. I have been looking all over the web sites for information on how to fix problem. Have not found anything as of yet. I would like both joy sticks to work independent of each other. Does anyone know how this could be done? I have call some dealers, no one had and good answer that I found.

Pros: 2615 is a good tractor for its size.
Cons: N/A.

Replacing Fluids and Parts
Model Year: 2009

Although this make of tractor is good, it as to many things that need to be changed every 100 or 200 hours. Also the battery is almost impossible to get out. I did find a way to get it out. Facing the front, slide the battery to the right side. Then turn it up and then lift up. It is a tight squeeze; but it will lift out. Then reverse the procedure to put a new battery back in.

Pros: Starts good and runs well. A 2615 is not a heavy duty tractor for heavy lifting jobs.
Cons: Not enough power to lift things over 1,000 pounds with the bucket. Should be at least a 40 hps tractor.

Pleased
Model Year: 2005

I am very pleased with the 2615 HST. I bought it new in 2005 and have zero issues with it. It has the FEL, 5' box blade, 5' brush hog and could not be happier with it. I have operated it beside other tractors with higher HP and have stayed right with them or out done them. The Mahindra is one tough tractor. Will buy again.

Pros: Very strong.
Cons: Break pedals on same side as hydro-stat pedal.

Mahindra 2615
Model Year: 2008

I have been somewhat disappointed with the reliability of the Mahindra 2615. I bought it new with almost all the accessories. Here are the issues: - Sheet metal is WAY too thin the slightest bump will dent it. - Cheap quality switches and automotive type wiring connectors that aren't suitable to off road service. - Paint quality is poor---soft, fades and doesn't adhere. - Glow plugs must be kept on hand as failure is commonplace. - The front drive ring gears failed at a cost of almost 1,000 dollars at 400 hours. - Repair parts are insanely expensive. - The shuttle on the backhoe (chain mount) failed within 5 hours - no parts available to repair. I suspect that most of these issues are common to all compact tractors. They don't build 'em like they used to.

Pros: Easy and comfortable to operate.
Cons: See above.

2615 Mahindra
Model Year: 2008

Purchased my 2615 in April 2009 along with a 6' finish mower. The second time I mowed it bogged down and stopped running. After talking with the dealer, it was determined the tractor had untreated diesel fuel--cleaned the tank out and replaced the fuel filter, and haven't had a problem since. Great little tractor, lots of power for 26 hp (I got my 5050 Allis stuck, and the Manindra pulled it out without spinning a tire). Very fuel efficient, and quiet the only negatives--difficulty changing from neutral to high or low range and tends to run hot in 90 degree weather (I remove one of the side panels, and that takes care of the problem). Would purchase again in a minute.

Pros: Great value, lots of power for the size, quiet.
Cons: Difficult to switch from neutral to high or low range, runs hot in very hot weather.

After Market Maintenance
Model Year: 2005

This has been a great tractor and I like it a lot. The problem is with the cost of maintenance and upkeep. The radiator had a cracking problem appears to be common in this tractor. The air cleaner they want $50.00 no air cleaner should cost that much for a small tractor. Radiator drain valve sits lower than the frame and in brush breaks off it is plastic $34.00 each time it breaks. I could go on and on but you get the idea. If you bought this tractor a piece at a time 60K at least. The tractor is a great work horse the after market support is less than desirable.

Pros: Good value at initial purchase.
Cons: Support parts are not affordable.

Bang for The Buck
Model Year: 2009

When we decided to add a 25hp tractor to our equipment fleet, we didn't want to just buy the first one we looked at. We tested all makes and models. We found that the Mahindra offered the best balance of power, turning, lifting and reliability. Not to mention price and financing. It has done everything asked of it from snow to mulch to final grading.

Pros: Power, turning radius.
Cons: No cab.

Mahindra 2615hST 4WD
Model Year: 2006

Came with bucket, backhoe, ROPS (roll over protection system). Only minor complaints are somewhat jerky backhoe hydraulics and very difficult to mount/dismount. Extending hydraulic lines allowed backhoe to be hooked up to lines for positioning hoe to mount on tractor. Use 540 PTO to power 12/15 kw generator, DR chipper used to clean up 25 trees taken down for wildfire defense. Generator powers whole house. Power a log splitter off hydraulics. Used extensively for heavy snow removal Nov.-April in neighborhood. Advise chains for traction. No commercial rear wheel spacer to allow rear wheel chains, but found shop Sparks NV that is custom making. See earlier post for details. Would def buy again except local dealer Yreka CA stopped dealer service.

Pros: Muscle, versatile, many attachments avail, reliable.
Cons: Jerky backhoe hydraulics, needed to extend hydraulic lines to rear.

Mahindra 2615 4wd
Model Year: 2004

Great tractor. Very reliable. Compared to Kubota of same size, this tractor has it beat. Beefier and lift capacity is more. Had I known, I would have ordered it with rear hydraulic connections.

Pros: Lockable differential.
Cons: Rear hydraulic connections are optional.

Mahindra 2 Years Later
Model Year: 2010

The 2615 is very reliable, starts easy, easy on fuel, had to replace seat bolt nuts with lock nuts, wish it had a remote hydraulic hook up, I use it all over the farm, pulling hay wagons, mowing the yard, plowing the garden, everything my bigger tractors are just too big for. The lift arms could have used a better design. Hydraulic lift and power steering works very well. I tested Massie and Kubota, by far I liked the Mahindra the best, Kubota was to noisy, Massie too much plastic.

Pros: Starting, fuel, maneuverable.
Cons: No wet line.

Heavy Duty
Model Year: 2006

Have had other tractors including the Kubota and they did not hold up. Have not had a minutes trouble with this one and it cost less.

Pros: Tough.
Cons: None.

My 2615 4WD Mahindra Tractor
Model Year: 2006

Great tractor and does everything that I want to do. However, when I called the dealer to inquire about a spare rear wheel assembly, he had never ordered one before. I was sad to learn that Mahindra put's 6 ply tires on the tractor. So I ordered a 16 ply tire as a spare. I ordered a spare rear wheel from the dealer and the Fedex charges were equal to the charge for the wheel, which I paid for.

Pros: 4WD rocks.
Cons: Poor dealer support.

2615 HST
Model Year: 2004

Great tractor! Replaced a Kubota that I had lots of issues with. Super for brush hogging, finish mowing, back blade, garden plow & tiller. Dealer has been great, too, for parts & service. These tractors are real heavy duty work horses.

Pros: Power, reliability, traction.
Cons: None.

Satisfied with My Flavor of Red
Model Year: 2007

I came home from Afghanistan to 42 fallen trees and downed fence line. I was fortunate compared to many after the tornado that went through. I had not intended on buying a tractor at that time, but I needed it badly to get the mess cleared up in time for my return overseas. After much searching, we found our used Mahindra with a front end loader. I actually tried to buy it without the loader thinking I would not need it. Well, I am so thankful for hanging on to it! I used it daily. The tractor, the attachments, the performance was great and I am very satisfied. I intend n keeping this machine for many years. Hopefully, I will aquire the old farm behind me and justify moving up a notch or two in HP.

Pros: Entire package.
Cons: No back up lights.

Mahindra 2003 2615 HST - Distressed Sale
Model Year: 2003

Picked up this machine a little over a year ago with only 33 hours on it. The original owner was starting a horse farm in '03/'04 until the housing/debt crash hit. The tractor sat for ~5 years in his barn, until he was foreclosed upon and sold everything. Other than a battery and full service of filters/fluids (and loader hooks + rear/ROPS lights) I've done nothing but use it and smile! I bought the 2615 HST, ML106 FEL, a barely used 3pt 10" post hole digger, and a barely used 5ft box blade with adjustable chisels for $11k. An old neighbor of mine had a machine identical to this, but it was a mid-90s yellow & white Cub Cadet...made by Mitsubishi of course. So I knew what I was getting into, and had spent several hours on his machine. At the time I had a small Yanmar 1500D that liked to snap front axles when using the loader. This machine has been a dream to operate. My local dealer is the best of the best. He set me up with all the spares, manuals, and info I need to own this tractor for a lifetime (and I didn't even buy it from him). If you know Yanmars or Mahindras - you should know Ernie in Oregon. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this machine to anyone who wants a tractor that can pull a 2-bottom plow/5ft disc, run a decent sized backhoe, and perform serious loader work. The big plus is that it's easily transported on a trailer with a loader and an implement. If you do work on several job sites, help friends/family w/ projects, or plant hunting property habitat/food plots this the perfect machine. The fact that there are a "gajillion"of these machines out there (Cub and Mahindra) made by Mitsubishi for the last couple of decades is always a good thing when it comes to long term parts/spares.

Pros: It's built by Mitsubishi and is basically the same tractor for over 2 decades of serial #'s. Tthere are lots of spare parts and machines in N/S America and SE Asia.
Cons: Reverse is just a hair too slow for me. I wish it had rear remote hydraulics, and a "parking brake engaged" dash light - when running - would be nice.

Mahindra 2615 HST
Model Year: 0

I bought a Mahindra 2615 HST in January 2009 from my local dealer who also sells and services Deere and Bobcat. The $14,500 price included Mahindra 106 FEL, Land Pride BB2560 box scraper, a set of filters (air, hydraulic, oil) and $600 credit for implement rental. It had been a dealer demo, and had 120 Hours. Now it has 300 hours—after 23 months of my ownership. I have added a Brush mower (42”) and clamp on forks for FEL. It took many hours to learn to use implements effectively—I still have lots to learn—but time spent is worth it and rewarding. I use this tractor for grading gravel driveways, brush mowing, horse manure management, snow removal, building a 36’x48’ pole barn, creating and maintaining drainage swales. This last job for the tractor—creating drainage channels—literally saved our house and barn last summer, and continues to do so, after a 15,000+ acre forest fire on a 12,000’ mountain adjacent to our 5 acre property set stage for repeated floods washing off mountain during storms. I don’t know what we would have done without the tractor.

Pros: The 2216 HST tractor is invaluable : strong, and very reliable for the jobs I need to do. I really appreciate the HST for maneuvering back and forth (involved in almost all jobs it does, except brush mowing). Not a flashy tractor, but well made. No mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic problems to date. Starts at 0-10 degrees without shelter or battery tender (so far). I bought a tender just in case for this coming winter. Next I need to build a tractor shed next.
Cons: Minor things: decals on dash peeled off due to exposure to elements. I bent the adjustable lift-arm assembly on 3-pt hitch due to overextension of turnbuckle during heavy ground engagement work. That was my fault and a $200 lesson. The joystick for controlling hydraulic block valves on FEL has hex set screws that loosened up after about 100 hours of usage, and now need to be re-tightened about every hour of FEL usage (I do it in ~ 30 sec sitting in the drivers seat). Loc-tite on the hex screws would probably help here, and will try that next. When brush-mowing, radiator screen has to be checked and cleaned regularly (every hour or so), which is typical tractor issue from what I have read on TBN.

2615 mahindra review
Model Year: 2007

I bought this little tractor to cut grass and piddle around the house. It is a great little tractor and I will buy Mahindra again.

Pros: Compact, 4x4, & a small turning radius.
Cons: No remote hydraulics; I wish I had a loader.

2615 review @ 300hrs
Model Year: 2006

I've been very pleased so far with the 2615. I use it mainly for mowing 3 acres with 72" fm. I've planted several foodplots with it using a 5' disc and a broadcast spreader. It handles a 5'bushhog great as well. So far, zero issues with the tractor. I added a weight to the front and that helped with traction when plowing. It rides a little rough due to the short wheelbase but that's just part of a small tractor. Shuttle shift and 2 stage clutch are nice to have. No regrets so far, I highly recommend the 2615 4x4.

Pros: great value and durable
Cons: rides rough
