Hello - just wanted to verify with other Mahindra owners that the SAE75W or 80W UTTO is the correct fluid for hydraulics and transmission on Mahindra tractors? That's what my manual says and that seems pretty heavy, or is that typical for most tractor brands? The fluid easily obtainable in my...

Hello, for lack of a dealer within 300 miles, I took my 7520 to a local trustworthy mechanic for some simple maintenance and a fix with a broken roll pin I couldn't get out myself. One adjustment I requested was with the main drive clutch, which felt like it was slipping more and more recently...

My 7520, which I've been very pleased with in my first 240 hours, is stuck out in the woods with 4 popple trees winched up behind it. It was working just fine when I turned it off to stop and limb the trees. Now it does nothing when turning the key. My first assumption is the electrical...

Hello everyone from this first-timer! What a great forum this is for those in dire need of education, such as myself. Here's my question, with a preface: I'm seriously looking at purchasing a Mahindra for my small farming / logging operation and had come down to the 6520 4WD as the best HP /...
