As for learning to run a mini-excavator, I would not be surprised if you learned quickly. As long as you are out in the open and not trying to do something like digging a French drain up next to a house, just go for it. It's a ton of fun running an excavator. It can be very satisfying work...

The weld was torn off the parent metal.

If you feel his YouTube link was not derogatory towards an ethnic group, so be it. Don't miss the fact that I agree that the welded part was defective, so did Mahindra, and they replaced the part. We have a fab shop ourselves, plasma table, migs, tigs, mill, lathe, etc. I'm no expert, and...

I'm sure you are just trying to be funny, and I guess that is fine, but if you read this thread, you would understand that the broken welds were on a Mitsubishi Mahindra made in Japan. I've been to Mahindra factories in India and in Japan. You would be impressed. I think racist remarks are...

Please read post #29 in this thread. We are the dealer. He did what he should and contacted us first. We put together a request to Mahindra to cover this even though it was technically not in warranty. Mahindra responded promptly with approval. This is the best method, unless, of course...

It's been years since we have had one of these failures, so you're straining my memory! The 2615, IIRC, had the ratcheting type OR clutch. See post #10 in this thread for some details. If with the PTO lever engaged (and engine off of course) you can spin the PTO shaft freely both ways (and...

Bellview, I think our service manager has reached out to you with the good news that Mahindra is going to cover this failure, even though it is not a covered part under the power train warranty. It just makes common sense for them to take care of this. We asked them, and they agreed. By...

Actually, the vast majority of Mahindra tractors sold in the USA in the last 20 years were not made in India. Most were made in Japan and South Korea. Mahindra owns a good portion of Mitsubishi Ag, and has a longstanding relationship with TYM in Korea. Having said that, Mahindra's India built...

We are a high-volume dealer. Ideally if everyone shows up to work and inbound tractors arrive timely, we try to keep ahead of the curve and have 30 or 40 (a month's worth) of tractors PDI'd and ready to go. Then all we have to do is put the package together, add ballast, implements, remotes -...

Seems best to do it that way. Interesting that Diamond C adds in some tongue weight, two 7,000 lb axles often will have a 14,900 GVWR on their trailers.

Looks great. Ensure that when you open your tailgate, it does not hit the top of the channel your adjustable coupler bolts into. I've had a couple of trailers where that would happen. You can cut the top of the channel down some to give clearance.

CDL rules differ by state. In California, if your equipment trailer is 10k or over GVWR, you need a CDL. So it's a good idea to check your individual state rules. I tow daily delivering tractors and have a 22' deck bumper pull and a 32' deck goose. Often I am delivering to narrow driveways...

That's a smoking gun for sure. Good for you for doing this yourself. It's not a bad job.

Best to go directly to our parts manager, or hit us up via our website contact form. I'll send you a private message with contact info. Keep in mind that a local hydraulic shop can sometimes be your least expensive option. Often a cylinder can be rebuilt.

We sell the gray ones built in India for Titan out of TN. If you happen to be in Northern California, I have a dozen or so of those flails in stock. Heavier duty by far than most of what is commonly imported from China. These specs out closer, and look more like, some of the European...
