Mahindra 50 hp. 4wd tractor 2015

[hotgrips]

On the 2015 Mahindra enclosed cab 50 hp 4wd tractor. Does anyone have a foot pedal brake problem similar to mine where very high foot pedal brake pressure is required to actuate the brakes while operating? I also have to put very high foot pedal brake force on to actuate the parking brake when on a slope. Mahindra denies that this problem exists for other customers.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm going to move your thread on over to the Mahindra section. Maybe someone over there has had a similar problem.

Mahindras are heavy and judging from my 7520 their brakes fall short of ample.

I'm sure you know they are adjustable...You didn't identify what model you have so, folks can't really help you...are you sure its actually a Mahindra? Or are you trying to sell handwarmers? Just sayin'....Bob-in-VA

Hes probably not even sure of the model... but its a 3550 if he has a 50hp cab tractor model 2015.

The brakes are adjustable and are well more than enough to stop the tractor..

That being said, they are not power brakes. They definitely don't stop the machine as easily as automotive brakes.

My 3550 takes a tremendous amount of force to engage the parking brake adequately when on a steep slope. I don't think of it as an issue though. If I can drop the loader or a rear attachment to the ground to help hold the machine then I don't need to set the brake as tight - I try to do this whenever I can.

When driving I never use the brakes - the HST is enough to slow the machine down without requiring brakes.

I have a 2011 5035 HST, and the brakes work fine. Not to be confused with vacuum assisted power brakes that have been on most vehicles since the 60's or so. Probably more like the old un-assisted drum brakes some of us old farts grew up with. Mine being HST, I only use the brakes as a ' parking brake ' or to hold it on a slope when I am changing ranges. Don't think I have ever unlocked them and used them as turning brakes like I do on my 2 wheel drive JD 2240. You are not going to touch them with your toe and lock the wheels or anything at speed. At about 8500 pounds, and with the HST driving it forward, you have to use the HST control to slow the tractor... it won't woe until the HST says woe.....
