My buddy owns and operates a heavy equipment company with millions of dollars in heavy iron. They run the stuff from NAPA.

Here's what I did. I purchased a hydraulic pole saw. I plumbed it up, so it connects to the couplers for my grapple. Manufabricated a bracket, and it fits on the end of my pallet forks. Bing, bang, boom, I now have a pole saw I can operate from my tractor seat, and it reaches about 15' in...

Hey all. Just thought I would share a project I recently completed. I have an Intimidator EV Classic. It's a great machine, but with the one big drawback of the range. I was lucky to get 9 miles out of it, and if working hard, I might only get 5. The machine weighs 2000 lbs, and is super...

I've got a lot of toys. I have an electric sxs that I recently upgraded to Lithium batteries. It's awesome. Weighs 2000 lbs, hauls 800 and can two 1500. As others have said, different tools for different jobs. But for running around, hunting, snow plowing and other light duty stuff, I love...

Did some snowfighting! Love my Mahindra!

Anyone have a website to point me at to get spacers for my 2538?

My 2538 was puking a bit of oil when sitting or running or basically existing. I had a bunch of chores to do with it, so I couldn't troubleshoot. So I just kept feeding a bit of oil in every couple hours. When I finally had time to trace down the leak, it was not a leak, really. The oil...

OK, so I have a deep well. Over 700' and 250' to water. I have an outbuilding about 250' away from home, and about 50' in rise above home. I ran 1" PEX type tubing up to the out building, ending in a Yard Spigot. About halfway up, also placed another yard spigot. I teed into the line from...

OK, so I managed to run my 2538 out of diesel. The procedure, as many know, is to fill the tank, open the bleeder on the injector pump, turn on key, crank a bit, and watch for air bubbles and fuel, then wait for fuel only, and you should be good to go. Fill the tank Open bleeder, turn on key...

I have a 2538 Cab. I have an EA grapple and the third function kit from them as well. I am frustrated with how the loader valve and third function are working together. It appears to me that when I engage any of the FEL functions, the power beyond does not get any flow. For instance, if I am...

I have the EA Grapple and WR . I plumbed it, but I noticed that when using any fel function, there is no flow to the grapple. I do not have access to the flow diagram, so my question is, is this normal? I assume not, meaning I have plumbed to the wrong port. But before I dig deeper, I...

My 2538 CAB has a spot for a radio. And sales guy said "Yeah, any head unit, just put it in there" And yeah, that's not true. He is looking to find out info from Mahindra for me, but in the mean time, has anyone installed an aftermarket radio in theirs? Any tips or ideas? I know the factory...

I have an older Takeuchi Excavator I bought last year, TB035, 7500 lbs. Good machine, but it is 25 years old and a PITA sometimes. So I started looking at replacing it. Found a 2016 Takeuchi TB230, 6500 lbs. 200 hours and $30K, which is about $10K off a new machine. Had it sent to the house...

I recently purchased a 2538 Cab. I knew going in this was a rebadged TYM. I was looking for a lower lift arm, and Mahindra dealer quoted me $280. I figured I would try to find the same TYM and see if the part was cheaper. Looking at TYM site, and parts manuals, I am pretty darn sure the T394...

I got my valve and grapple from EA. Went to install the valve and no joy. The 2538 has the loader valve up top and the 2538 CAB has the loader valve down low. The bracket sent with the unit will mount, but the valve can't be placed on it, as something is in the way in any config. Either the...
