My 4110 started blowing meter panel fuses when a family member was using it. Fuses would blow over a period of time, and not immediately. I didn't have a handy 15 amp fuse, so stuck a 20 amp in to see what it is doing. I found that when the clutch is pushed in the glow plug lamp is coming on...

This month marked the seventh anniversary of my purchase of my Mahindra 4110. The red beast will turn over 700 hours sometime in the near future. I thought I would mark the seventh anniversary by giving a brief evaluation of my tractor's service. The 4110 has done a little of everything for...

My wife's BIL has had trouble with his 40+ year old 430 Case he inherited from my late FIL and haying with it this year has been problematic, as the gas keeps boiling in it. My Mahindra 4110 was first pressed into service using the CCM 165 drum mower he bought new last week. The Mahindra cut...

Has anyone converted one of those big cumbersome canister filters to a spin on? They aren't real handy to change, and the rubber hoses on each end of the canister seem misaligned with the canister and which leads to premature hose failure. I'm not real proficient in hydraulics, would this...

I asked my Mahindra dealer about baling square bales with my 4110 today using an older NH 273. He said he should pose no problem, especially since I have loaded ag tires. The 4110 pushes the 4000 lb mark to begin with, and with loaded tires and a FEL is pretty hefty for a CUT. He said he...

I've got an oil leak that is coming from the cap at the bottom of my final drive on my 4110 Serial #4110 y03010xx This is the newer model, I bought it in '05. It is part #23 in the attached image. The cap sits lower on the side that leaks than on the other side, and I can push the cap back up...

I was in the market for a used rider and my son-in-law had a buddy he worked with who has a neighbor that had a used Craftsman rider for sale. I had to take my daughter to a softball game and had my wife and son-in-law look at it. When I got back home there was an old White rider sitting on...

It's time to change oil in my 4110. Last time I used a Puralator Pure One PL14619 filter and Pennzoil 10W30 oil. I've always had good luck with Pennzoil. What's the current prevailing wisdom here on the oil and filter issue? I know all filters and oils are not created equal.

The two newest Mahindras, the 5525 and the 6025, look like a good deal for value priced machines. The 6025 has 49 PTO HP, making it about the right size for using on small haying operations, where a square baler will be used. These tractors are available in 2wd only with an 8X2 tranny.

I have decided that the time has come to mount a toolbox on my 4110. The little built in box under the floormat just isn't big enough. I have thought about mounting a box on the right hand step, since I don't get on and off that side of the tractor much, due to loader controls. My only...

OK, folks, what is currently on your near term attachment/implement wish list? I plan on hitting the spring equipment auctions in search of a 6 ft 3pt disk and a cultipacker.

While people agonize over some aspects of a tractor purchase, e.g., should they get gear or hydro, should they get 2wd or 4wd, people way too often don't fully take the time to study the PTO choices available and use it to determine which tractor best suits their needs. Not all tractors in the...

Has anyone run a sickle bar mower on their 4110? What models work the best, and which ones have trouble?

...I was out pushing and clearing more brush yesterday and in the middle of the bramble was a downed 6" tree. The edge of the tree's limb must have caught the level indicator rod on the bucket and bent it without my noticing it. When I went to curl the bucket I bent the rod nearly double. I...

Walmart sells a tractor transmission-hydraulic fluid that is supposed to be equivalent to all the name brand fluids that the dealers carry. Its name is Tech something or something Tech. Has anyone tried this fluid? It runs under $30 for a five gallon bucket, which is significantly cheaper...
