Mahindra MAHINDRA5035PST 4.00 star(s) (3)

5035 PST
Model Year: 2013

Enjoy operating this tractor. Upgraded from Kubota L4610 which was good tractor but lacked SSQA and rear remote hydraulics. Have 60 in. Mahindra grapple bucket that is a real work saver. No problems so far and hoping tractor will deserve 5 star reliability rating.

Pros: Comfortable with ample power.
Cons: Minimal tool box.

I purchased the tractor with loader and quick hitch, with a 7' heavy duty rear blade. So far so good, have had no problems, tractor seems to perform quite well, especially like the performance of the front wheel assist. - Bill

Pros: Lie everything about the tractor, except read cons.
Cons: Don't really care for the placement of the shifter, pretty tight quarters especially in 1st gear.

Mahindra 5035 PST
Model Year: 2013

Not enthused about Mahindra now that I own one. I am disappointed in the quality and reliability. Hydraulic leaks, cheap plastic, ignition switch glow plug issues, PST cable freezing in winter, deteriorated failed rubber boots on cables and front boots on power steering arms. Its one thing after another. I would have to say the hype one reads from Mahindra should be taken with a grain of salt. These tractors are simply not built for Canadian winters. Do you research and check reviews about other manufactures. Dealer says they stand behind tractor, but when I said they could buy it back they said they would not do that. Well if thats the case you don't believe in you product. However they do say they will strive to make it right. Make it right after two years of frozen PST in winter makes for a useless tractor when its needed most. Mahindra, pull up your socks, your quality control and reliability are lacking, perhaps this is why they market the tractor value and features. When in reality it seems that the price doesn't reflect quality in build.

Pros: Rugged not in for service (or is that an oxymoron)?
Cons: Its red, and looks nice. Full stop.
