    customer services frustration

    If that dealer has a website, as most do now, leave a NOT SO POLITE review and maybe save someone the hassle of trying to work with the dealer.

    Kubota L3710 runs for 20 minutes then won't run at speed or at all.

    My Mahindra did exactly the same thing, come to find out there was a strainer in the gas tank that wasn’t even shown in the owner’s manual. Someone on here told me about it. Strainer was almost completely stopped up. Took the d**n thing out and put an inline filter in and solved the problem.

    New Tractor Problems

    Had a similar problem with the dealer I bought my Mahindra4025 from. Had 12 hours on the tractor and braided fuel line started leaking, dealer wanted me to make a 50 mile round trip on a trailer to replace the fuel lone. Fuel line was $20 and about a 30 minute job, wouldn’t even swap the fuel...

    Well today I learned 5 things about post hole augers

    When I finish with my PHD I drov a T-post in the ground and stood my digger against it and wrapped a small chain around to keep it in place. Also, don’t try to dig the hole in one shot, raise and lower ever six inches to a foot. As far as keeping the hole vertical, if you’re putting a 6” post in...

    Why did I buy this thing?

    Same thoughts on the engineering. Worked in construction for over 40 years and I have seen some engineering that made me wonder what the person that designed the equipment had in mind. I have a 4025 and I could write a book about the stuff that I have found that could have been done a lot...

    Is it possible to be objective for a moment about Mahindra? Question relating to career change

    I currently have a 4025, bought in 2015. Have had more issues with this tractor than I feel was warranted. Presently have 94.5 hours use time so you can see that it hasn’t been overly used. Some of the poorest engineering I have ever seen and I was in the construction business for 40 years so I...
