Mahindra 5155 Anyone?

Excited to see how you attach them to the bucket! Thanks for sharing this project. I too have rocky soil since I am inside a volcanic caldera with all the remnants of the huge blast long ago.

Well I spent last night doing prep work and all morning welding. The shanks are welded on and the teeth are installed. Just got the tools put away and the rain came so I can’t try them yet. But I think they’re really going to help in my rocky soil.

WOW! Nice job! Great welding. Rocky soil should be no match. Didn't realize that they were going to be permanently attached. Awaiting report on how well they work.

I have 47 hours on my 5145. So far I am very happy. I moved a tree that two of me could not reach around. It fell, yesterday, across my route to the creek. That being in the wooded half of my property. Without getting off of the tractor. With my old 255 Massey I'da had to get off and hook up chain at times. The skid steer attachments for the loader arms is awesome.

Very nice Andy, not sure want to commit to perminate teeth on mine

Can any 5155 owners confirm the front R4 tire size? Is it 10.5 80/18 or 12.5 80/18? I’ve seen both on the 5100 spec sheets. Local dealer does not have any in stock to verify.

10.5/80-18 on my 5155 with R4's.

 

[Regular Guy]

Thanks Walt. Had been seriously looking at the New Holland Workmaster 70. It has 12.5/80 - 18s on the front. I have a high water table and relatively level 12 acres so considered a wider tire to minimize ruts, yet the 5155 has higher weight, loader, and three point capacities, as well as that three range tranny. Considering I don’t do any ground engagement other than brush hogging, I don’t see the need for 70hp if the Mahindra is better at picking things up and putting them down with the grapple.

Just took possession of a new 5155 a couple weeks ago. Downsized from a 91hp JD 5525. Less than 20 hrs on the Mahindra thus far. Wondering if y'all have experienced any appreciable vibration in your own 5100's to date? I'm getting some significant resonance between 1800 through 2000 rpm. Makes the brake lever buzz loudly like it's coming unglued. Above 2000 the engine vibration continues and buzzes other stuff as well. This occurs under all conditions, stationary and otherwise - neutral or otherwise.

Welcome!! I have not noticed that but it’s likely because I haven’t revved the engine beyond the E-PTO speed of about 1,750 RPM’s yet. I’ve only done relatively light PTO work so far and everything else I’ve done I’ve just run it between about 1,500-1,800 rpm’s. At those ranges I haven’t noticed anything. I’ll try higher rpm’s and let you know.
