New Mahindra 2555

Kelly C · Mar 17, 2017

Just purchased a new Mahindra 2555, this will be my first tractor. Chose this one over a Kubota MX5200. Anyone with this model that can make me feel good about my choice?

Good choice. You will enjoy your machine. No reason to hesitate between the two brands you were looking at. They are both good.

You chose...wisely

I purchased a 2555 a year ago and have had zero problems to date in 75 hours. The loader is very strong and it has handled everything I have thrown at it. You made a good choice!

After shopping around, comparing all makes and models, I ended up buying a 2555HST in September 2015. Aside from the MIL light coming on a couple times (from running the engine RPMs too low for too long) no complaints. It's a powerful piece of equipment and the loader's capabilities will surprise you. When I ordered my tractor, I also ordered the Mahindra Service and Parts manuals for my tractor. I don't know how mechanically inclined you are, but you may want to think about getting the set yourself. They're not what I would call "well written", but they can get you out of a jam. Just a suggestion.

I think you made a good choice (I considered Kubota too). I'm sure you'll be satisfied.

To me, the shop service manual is as important as having the person you're marrying also at the ceremony.

But, sometimes, it might be better in the long run that he/she would not have shown up... but I am with you on the manual....

Hello everyone - I also just purchased a Mahindra 2555 Hst. Was delivered on 3/8/17. Got it equipped as follows: Open station, Loader, 75B backhoe with thumb, WR Long 3rd function, loaded rear tires, 6' HD box blade. I already had a Tomahawk 66" grapple and set of pallet forks which was result of attending a Ritchie Bros. auction and getting caught up in the moment. Have already used the grapple a few times - clearing out brush piles that have accumulated over the years. Shortly after making use of the grapple - we got appx. 18" of snow here in Southern NH and am shut out of the woods for a little while. So far - very pleased with my new tool!

Contratulations. I got my 2555 HST at the end of July last year. You made a good choice. It's a great tractor. It too was my first tractor. My first use was mowing with a 7 foot finish mower from EA. Great mower. Even though it is rated 40-60 pto hp, I learned that the belts start squealling way before the tractor bogs down. I've gotten a lot of use out of my pallet forks including carrying my 12 foot roll up door from the road to the barn. I've started flattening my pasture with a 6 foot tiller. There is a ton of stuff to learn. Do a lot of reading here. It has kept me out of trouble. I managed to cut a road down a steep hill (slanting in two directions) with the box blade and loader. It got a bit squirrelly but I got it done safely. It's a beast and a very capable machine. Enjoy!
