Wow that's crazy! It would have been cheaper for me to have John Deere come to me and service my tractor right here in my yard. My dealer has a mobile shop and its $75 to come to you and then regular shop rate. They guy can service my tractors AND zero turn in under 2 hours. He will even service my one Kubota tractor as long as I get all the filters and fluids for it. Guess we found one thing John Deere is cheaper than Mahindra on

From my understanding, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act says that a manufacturer can't void a warranty if you do the work yourself or if you use non-branded like for like replacement parts e.g. filters.

unless the failure was caused by the non oem part, in most cases the non oem part supplier should cover the warranty, which in some cases is limited to free replacement of the failed part.

I change my air and cabin filters every 2 years or 1000 hours and I farm but with Kubota's. Oil gets changed yearly with filters and hydraulics get changed every 1500 hours plus filters. The units get greased weekly and the outer air filters blown off weekly. Both my tractors have over 4000 hours on them... Never have an issue.

I do oil anylisis on both every year too. Blackstone can tell me how often to change... I go by their recomendations.

I think I need to start selling small tractors.... You guys are certainly a good investment.

That's pretty spendy. I stopped by the dealer to get filters the other day. My 5570 has 48 hours or so, so I need to change oil/filter and clean the hydraulic screen. Thought I'd go ahead and change the hydraulic filter just for kicks since I had to clean the screen anyway. Oil filter was twenty bucks, but they wanted $145.00 for the hydraulic filter. Sooooo, when I came to I decided I didn't need to buy it (from them) that bad. Ordered the same filter online for about $25.00 or so. Just for kicks, I asked about hydraulic fluid while I was there. 80 bucks for a five-gallon bucket.

So I'll have about 35 bucks in oil, 50 in filters and my labor when it's all done. Already have the grease.

I just checked the price on 5570 hydraulic filter and Mahindra MSRP is 40+change. Your dealer must have made an error, could have been looking at filter assembly that 100+.

That makes sense. I had to wonder if something was wrong there. Next time I have to go in there for something I'll check and see what they say.

I just got a new 2555 this week and upon looking at my maintenance Schedule it states the following are to be changed at 50 hours: Engine Oil, Oil Filter, Transmission oil, Hydraulic oil filter, Oil of the 4wd front axle, and grease each nipple. is there a chance that Mahindra has changed their recommended Maintenance Schedule?

I just looked at both shuttle and HST work shop manuels for the 2555. Not sure if its a misprint but it has a black dot at 5 hrs and 50hrs which means replace. engine oil,filter,hyd fluid.:confused3: FYI don't baby the throttle or let the engine idel too long. It will soot up the EGR system and your MIL light will come on.:thumbsup:

Service schedules differ between the different Mahindra models. A TYM based Mahindra will differ from the Mitsu machines, which will differ from the M&M India built machines. It's important to check your manual and go with that.

And by all means do your own services if you desire and are capable. It saves you paying the shop labor. You get to run around and pick up filters and fluids, and then dispose of them later. It just depends on how much time you have and how you value your time. No doubt a shop is profiting on this work, it's how they keep the doors open.

Anyone happen to have part # (oem or aftermarket) for the assorted 2555 filters?
