    Mahindra 3550 codes: P1804 and P405

    Good question.....not sure I do know that when I completely unplug the EGR.....the p405 code is what gets triggered on my scan tool I mowed today. About an hour with no issues at all. Then these two codes come up. Clear them....then 15 min later they back and I'm in limp mode.... Clear...

    Mahindra 3550 codes: P1804 and P405

    Want to see if anyone has any ideas I bought this tractor back in December...it's a 2019 with like 630hrs on it. Cab, loader, hst, etc. Wanted a cab for bushhogging. Now maybe regretting my decision to get a mahindra. When I got it, I called my local dealer, mainly to get the operator manual...

    Chimney wall thimble for metal siding

    Went to a place that sells stovepipe and they have whats like a rubber boot, with a lead ring that kinda forms around the metal ribs and screws on. But the rubber boot to size (similar to a roof vent) Yes it has held up

    Aluminum equipment trailers.

    Was that everything full of fuel? 14-ply.....good tires. Just did it on my trailer. But will probably add another 200# to your weights. Dont leave much room for other stuff, extra bucket, tools, etc. You flirting with the 26k mark

    Tieing in a 8" pipe to 30"

    Not on the same scale, but I do alot of ag drainage. Corrugate pipe (tile as we call it) Its uncommon to see mains much over 12" diameter. And often times we need to tie 4" or 6" laterals into the main. Yet the specific "tee's" to reduce to that size are $$$ So we simply use the appropriate...

    MX4900 chassis different?

    No, its the same as every other MX. Just dialing back the HP to offer something more affordable

    Excavator size for farm work

    Yea, certainly a scam. If your in the market, you will get good at spotting them. The pictures, the way the ad is written, price, etc. Over use of characters in the title (like the exclamation point) and the copy and paste from a brochure....you will get it. That said.....aside from clearing...

    Aluminum equipment trailers.

    Ive always thought the spring hangers on 12k-14k equipment trailers look cheap and weak. Ive repaired more than one shackle mount before, You look at how thin the metal is, and how little its welded.....then picture the stress when backing, and jacknifing a trailer with a load.....Im surprised...

    Poor bucket lifting power

    Older thread. Did the OP ever get it figured out? Test hydraulics? Bad advice to say that a loader leaking down is seals and bypassing internally. (for anyone else in the future that reads this) So I wanted to make that correction
